OH MAI GAHD!
Eurovision!!! There's about one month until the Semi-Final and a record 28 songs have made it! 28, wow! Eurovision, wow!!!
Neophytes to the brilliance that is this song contest really should go here so the ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS "Song-O-Mat" (Finland spent the money it would take to afford the "ic" on Lordi's costumes last year) can tell them which song is their favourite. It's actually against the rules of Eurovision to just pick for yourself, and the rules of Eurovision are also more or less the law according to the European government. Or so I hear.
In any case, though at first I felt I should support Andorra's entry as it's in my language (waaaaaah!), it was actually too stupid to even handle. Like there's hilarious-Eurovision-stupid and then there's...this, which is just stupid.
So after I fasted for a week due to that little upset I continued my search for a favourite, and for a while decided that they're all just too hilarious this year. What with classically Eurovision song titles such as "LovePower", "Get A Life - Get Alive" and "Time to Party", and delightfully foreign/confused/out-of-date videos like this and this, it looks like Helsinki is going to host a really freaking solid Eurovision 2007...those 28 entries sure all do deserve to be here!
But finally, I settled on Teapacks' "Push The Button" (Isreal's entry), which at first worried me a bit because I'd heard, in passing, that it was actually going to be a genuinely good song? But no, no, thankfully, I'd heard wrong, and it was justly terrible and hence, AMAZING. Not only that, it looks as if these gypsies may be banned this year, because their groundbreaking Klezmer-meets-hard-rock-ish-techno is just a little to controversial, eh? Also I guess people were bit confused by random use of scat in inappropriate places, the singer's awkward torso-rocking, and the vaguely inuendo-ish sound of the group's name.

Uh, Israel's entry is no more disgusting than what they are trying to respond to, but that still makes it disgusting. It is also contrary to the entire spirit of Eurovision and is horribly cliche and annoying.
The UK's entry on the other hand, is the perfect embodiment of what Eurovision is all about. It's catchy, terribly and horribly cheesy. It should win.
