I enjoyed Ewan's tweets about it, some of which prompted me to hit the 'net to search out some of the performers on YouTube in the hopes of discovering some new, wonderful, "out of the box" artist to embrace. Sadly, I was disappointed. Most of what I was able to find was little more than homogenized fluff. I was really hoping for something unique. Norway's pretty boy winner, however, does play a fun bit of fiddle (I did enjoy that, but still could only make it halfway through the song before becoming bored and moving on to something else). I do agree that Iceland's entry is much better lyrically (and appeals to my inner adolescent), but still felt very contrived and generic to me. My daughter would love both. And yes, it does sound like "Sleeping Satellite" but not quite as good. Being on the wrong continent, I missed watching this.

"Eurovision Song Contest is to popular music, as karaoke is to live music. It's a total throw back to an age best forgotten."
