So urgent he thought he'd wait a couple of months and do a singing competition first. Nobody else smell a rat there?

perhaps a rat
publicity stunt?
but it makes a nice morale boost for Ukraine.  a win in an international competition is probably better than one more soldier on the front lines

I just watched all (excerpts) of the songs of eurovision.  can I say that I am not particullary impressed with any of them.


if I had to vote, without sending all of them home (with a letter to all of the heads of government  :Zzzzsleep:), I might keep France, Moldova and Ukraine.  with an honorable mention to Norway, I laughed all the way through that one.

couldnt agree more.

Apart from rare exceptions, i’m not a music enthusiast or even an expert.

For the winners, the only good part for me was when they stopped singing (particularly the pink lampshade from ikea), and flute tunes.

This being said, the overall performance of the competition is more than mediocre.
I’m not a good seller but you can’t sell me anything like that.
