The german decision to let Lena run again and let the people choose between 4872 songs which she should sing, is so terribly unoriginal and dull...
At least Israel waited 13 years to have Dana sing again...
The most fun to watch will probably be the semi-finales - there you have all the europop-trash-stars with amazingly bad songs
- in the finale the majority are sadly already wiped out - but still enough mocking potential
.
Too bad that I won't have the time to watch the finale the proper way: with friends and beer.
Also I am not terribly happy about Düsseldorf's decision to get the conmtest at all costs. For example: They build a mobile stadium, so that our local football club can play its last 3 games at home, as the Arena is occupied by the ecs. The official costs for this stadium alone are 2.8million €, estimates go up to 8. After the contest it gets knocked down again... And this in a city which has among the hightest crime rate in the state, in combination with the lowest clearance rate, where the roads look like ****e, other cultural and social programs get underfunded and its own city workers have to work under semi-legal conditions with a laughable pay....
But hey: that's Düsseldorf: they always want to look good on the outside, as we say in German: "Mehr Schein als Sein"
