Björn Gustafsson 4TW! (AKA Eurovision 2008)

And finally, 12 points go to…Sweden! No, wait, Denmark! No, wait…

 

I could, quite literally, go on forever about Eurovision 2008. Instead I’ve restrained myself to but a few musings on the event, and first up: Germany.

 

Oh dear.

 

To quote Sir Terry Wogan, “They’ll be dancing on the tabletops if they win”.

To quote myself “yeah…and I’m betting they’ll be dancing on tabletops if they don’t”. (Zing).

 

What worries me most, is that, unlike the Latvian pirates or the French bearded bearded ladies (who I thought were fantastic just quietly), the German entry was meant to be good.

Meant to be good?!? THEY WEREN’T EVEN IN TUNE. I thought they were dead certain for a nul points finish, but anyway…

 

The real crime of the evening, in my opinion, was the UK having to share last place with Germany and Poland (who supplied a pretty standard schlager track).
 

I really liked the UK song, in an insanely catchy, “ooh bright colours!” kind of way, and it was by far their best entry in a while.
Poor Andy Abraham was definitely undeserving of a last place finish, and it does make you wonder just how prophetic Terry Wogan’s “there’s no place anymore for Western Europe in Eurovision” comments are.

 

Oh, don’t despair folks, it’s not all gloom and doom. Last, and completely incapable of ever being least, the real winner of Eurovision 2008 – Björn Gustafsson.

 



 

Oj, Björn! Jag är helt föräslkad i dig nu. 12 poäng till Björn!!

Nepotism?!? Had I not met her in person, I would be forgiven for thinking that Queen Mab was a creepily accurate satirical figure in the vein of Stirling Addison. Unfortunately, this is not the case.

 

Now I know that Marieke Hardy isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but if I was going to take a swipe at my epic foe, I reckon I’d do a much better job, not to mention more accurate one.

 

 

Hmm, now all I need is an epic foe…
