As you might have noticed (or not), Denmark won the Eurovision last night. Hurra... Yeah!! I do think the director of the danish television was sweating just a tad, thinking about the amount of money that's gonna cost and the fight about, which part of Denmark will get the honor (or trouble) of hosting next years Eurovision contest!! Anyway, well done and listening to the danish commentator was very funny....
He was so excited, shouting and sounded like we were winning the Euro's (like we did do in '92) not just a music contest. As it was sure Denmark had won he shouted: "Denmark are the European Champions of popmusic in 2013"
Well, the song wasn't too bad so here I give you this year European Champion in Music !!(?) So while you listen to the song I will go make us some pancakes for lunch. Have a great Sunday!
Ah... I used to be. I loved it as a child. My dad would record all the songs directly from the TV on to a tape so I could listen to it straight away. I would the next day in only a few hours be able to sing all the songs in their origional language. Cos this was back when every country still sang only in their own language! I mastered Greek, Dutch, French, German, Spanish, Italian and many more! Amazing, right? So much we learned from the Eurovision back then.... (my parents certainly learned to fake smile when I sang my heart out, in what was supposed to be Greek)
No, I'm not ashamed to admit I was a fan! (I actually might still be a bit...)
Now everyone sings in English and some of the songs are really good! Maybe too good cos it seems like it's frowned upon a bit. It's certainly not the good songs that win.
Here's the Danish song and as you can't vote for your own country maybe some of you will vote for our little country. No, I'm not paid to say this! Just a thought as I actually really like the song...
