Yes, it’s Eurovision time again. Maybe you realized it existed for the first time last year when Conchita Wurst took the top prize. Americans continue to be puzzled by these acts, songs and the whole damn contest. If you think Americas Got Talent, Idol and The Voice are tedious, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. Denmark’s Anti Social Media (yes, that’s their name) and Finland’s heavy metal band Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät, (huh?) represent two ends of the music spectrum –both bad but they’re in the semifinals. Those are this week and the Grand Finalé is on Saturday when 130 million are expected to watch. You can see it all online here, if you like torture. The opening ceremonies in Vienna went on for three hours, if you can imagine. Watch Anti Social Media & Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät and as a palate cleanser, re-watch Conchita’s winning number, Rise Like a Phoenix, to see just how it’s done.
