Eurovision 2007: Helsinki Tonight

Eurovision Song Contest will be airing tonight from Helsinki. A big deal for us Finns, who sometimes still feel like we're the one country in Europe nobody's ever heard of. I listened to the 12 Finalists on the website, and I would say, if past years are any indication on which song wins, it'll be Romania. Upbeat, Pop, Silly. Should appeal to all the judges. None of the songs really did anything for me this year. Kind of a blah offering, and everyone's song lyrics can be summed up by "I love you." Really original, dudes.

Where are the good old days when someone like Johnny Logan could come out of the blue and just blow the competition away?

I was seriously crush-o on him. *sigh*
