lishesquexI just finished watching the first semifinal of Eurovision 2009 on the Eurovision website. And not to give anything away about the contestants, but.... OMG!!!!
Okay, imagine... some dancing cossacks, an entire military choir singing Kalinka, and then add some teenaged breakdancers and a giant pink tank. AND THEN, add t.A.T.u. Yeah, remember those Russian lesbian chicks from back in the day? And THEN, have the military choir start SINGING to "Not Gonna Get Us". The end result is awesomesauce. (Although not as awesomesauce as if the Red Army Choir were to start singing "All The Things She Said" lulz.) It's really strange to see Lena and Yulia all grown up. Crazy.
And, Iceland's entry this year? Awesomesauce. I also loved Israel's entry. Those were my two favorites in the first semifinal.
Anyway, I'll say no more because I don't want to spoil anyone. I only watched it online because this Friday I will be doing school things with my Year 9s and unable to catch the 7:30pm broadcast on SBS. :( But apparently we're going to have Australian commentators this year instead of the BBC version, which is fail. I'm still so very excited though. *is such a Eurovision whore* :D
ZOMG EUROVISION IS HERE!!! I wait all year for this. It's like Christmas. *jumps up and down, squeeing* :D

In fact, it's probably already aired in Europe. I'm staying away from Wikipedia and all forms of media from now on in case I get SPOILED like I did last year.
YAY someone appreciates my icon! :D Lulz, spirit fingers.
