Though to be serious, the song was kinda nice. Furthermore, Greece should've been taken out and Ukraine's 12-point moments should've been shown twice. More yays at the general success of Armenia and the relative success of Azerbaidzhan. Shame that Finland didn't do better, but then again, nobody forced Finland to send Teräsbetoni, for which even the neighbouring countries wouldn't want to give a point or two.
But yes, the song was nice. And the 3-time Olympic champion skating on that small pond of ice was neat. Good thing Bilan won, next time I bet he'd have brought the national hockey team, what with ballet dancers from pianos and stuff.
Even when the thunder and storm begins
I’ll be standing strong like a tree in the wind
Nothing's gonna move this mountain
Or change my direction
I’m falling off that sky and I’m all alone
The courage that’s inside is gonna break my fall
Nothing’s gonna dim my light within
But if I keep going on
It will never be impossible, not today
Cause I’ve got something to believe in
As long as I’m breathing
There is not a limit to what I can dream
Cause I’ve got something to believe in
Mission to keep climbing
Nothing else can stop me if I just believe
And I believe in me
Even when the world tries to pull me down
Tell me that I can, try to turn me around
I wont let them put my fire out, no!
But if I keep going on
It will never be impossible, not today
Cause I’ve got something to believe in
As long as I’m breathing
There is not a limit to what I can dream
Cause I’ve got something to believe in
Mission to keep climbing
Nothing else can stop me if I just believe
And I believe:
I can do it all
Open every door
Turn unthinkable to reality
You’ll see- I can do it all and more!
Believing
As long as I’m breathing
There is not a limit to what I can dream
Cause I’ve got something to believe in
Believing
Mission to keep climbing
Nothing else can stop me if just believe
And I believe in me.
I can't believe I watched Eurovision and wrote an article on it.
Hey, I watched "Iron Man" at approximately the same time. Comparably cheesy. Except for Gwyneth Paltrow's legs maybe, but then I guess, there was a decent amount of skin on display at Eurovision as well.
ReplyDeleteWinner of the evening: the short and unsuccessful (but very appetizing) Annuminas late night run afterwards.
Ukraine's representative > Gwyneth's legs.
ReplyDeleteWe've got to try Annuminas some time soon, I'm really curious about it.
This thread is worthless without pics!
ReplyDeleteWell, YouTube is your friend!

ReplyDeleteAni Lorak PWNS Gwyneth anytime. Also, her name is infinitely easier to speak.
commies 1 - western block 0. :P
Well, I think Gwyneth is technically pronounced as "Gwen", but I wouldn't be so sure of the Eastern Bloc name translations. I can't believe people actually voted so much for Greece though. The song wasn't impressive, the girl wore a poison-pink dress, and, well, she loses to Ukraine in about all the aspects!
ReplyDeleteNot to mention that Lorak is also a writer of children's books!

ReplyDeletePrevious link didn't work.
Yeah, the stupid formatting here ruined the link. I'm sort of starting to think of other options due to the crap formatting.
ReplyDeleteThat girl delivers!
ReplyDeleteStill, only thing I said was, that Gwyneth's legs were actually all but the most appealing part about Iron Man.
Told you so
