Eurovision Song Contest!

It is that time of the year. European countries + some other countries have gathered together in Moscow to see who will be the one to arrange the contest next year. Oh and see whose song is liked best. Well in my opinion the songs are not important nor are the artists. In my humble opinion the winner is a political winner.

Now don't look so shocked! I know that I don't know anything about politics, and don't even want to start sharing how I got to the point where the winning country has some political advatages... But with my tiny brains I calculated that one plus one equals eleven! And no matter how good you are with math that is the result I believe in.

Now before you think I have gone compleately mad or crazy or both, let me explain a bit. How the eurovision's work is the following. All the participant countries can vote for their favourite. This is done by voting for the favourites in one country. Then the country will give points, and all these points will reveal the winner in the end.

Of course, you cannot vote for your own country. So you vote for your neighbours and countries you like... Which is not entirely legal. One is supposed to vote for the song, not the country. Hence all political stuff and result is eleven.

This year my favourite is Estonia (If you wish to hear the song just go to youtube and searh "Eurovision Estonia"). I am not a big fan of Norway, but the song is catchy so maybe with time. I do hope that as we are in the finals (YAY) we would beat Sweden. (No matter on what we are compeating, we need to win Sweaden. No need to win the competition just Sweaden.)

Love thy neighbour ;)
