Eurovision 2007, recapped

Contestant reviews like:

Latvia
BONAPARTI.LV
"Questa Notte"

This year Doctor Doom has sent an unnecessary number of men in top hats to serenade us with boring opera. It's like a funeral for credible music being attended by the assassins themselves, Il Divo. Actually there's more of these guys than there are in Il Divo (every time you think they're done, another one walks out onto the stage) so I suppose that makes them quantifiably worse. If this pleases Doom, I don't know why. Perhaps he's punishing us.

and

Lithuania
4FUN
"Love Or Leave"

With a name like 4Fun, I was absolutely sure this would be a breezy boyband bouncing around in a barely coordinated fashion in light pastel sleeveless vests and baggy white combats. Sadly, no - it could hardly be further from it. 4Fun is in fact a rather glum woman being terribly earnest in the presence of a guitar. Apparently 'fun' means something else in Lithuania. On reflection, I suppose I should have guessed as much.

So good. I wish we got Eurovision, sometimes.
