European Song Festival 13 May

May 13, 2017  •  Leave a Comment

More than 100 million people this evening are watching the European Song Festival on TV.  Three hours with no commercials.  Yodeling, singing, guitar playing, beefcake dancers, orchestras, shiny costumes.  Twenty-six countries, including Australia, have one person in tonight's finals singing an original song. It's a slick performance that looks a lot like American Idol. And everyone sings in English!  More evidence that English is the world's leading language.  The screen shot is Demy from Greece, a beautiful woman and an accomplished singer. But what's with the beefcake?  BTW, ABBA won in 1974.
