Welcome to Malta

As you may or may not be aware - OnEurope has decamped to Malta for the Malta Eurovision 2012 and what an experience it has been.  Weather and food have been above optimal, music has been - well - suboptimal I guess - with the shock that there will be no Elenor Cassar or Whoop it up tonight, it was mutted that we wouldnt be going at all.  However, the taxi has been booked, the tickets have been paid for, so there isnt that much choice really!!!

So - This French song then.....

If you havent got it - Pick it up at OnEurope ( http://www.oneurope.biz)
What be your thoughts? - Mine? - Thought it was very nondescript to be honest!
Ask me again later!

So - 17 weeks on Saturday ( or there abouts)

Some of you will be in a half built hall in the arse end of nowhere watching the best 26 countries compete for the grand prix.  Good luck with that one ;)

Really though, would you trust Azeri's equivalent of Bob da Builder to get the place complete and ready on time?! - I'm slightly doubtful - still, there isnt a back up plan now......

Or is there?! ;p

Nailing ones colours to the mask.... OnEurope supports Regina Osk

Just cos its bloody brilliant!!!

Why songs I like dont qualify... Part 1

It seems, good people of OnEuropeland, that I am renowned for having no taste, therefore in a show of extreme anger only reserved for cheese haterz  I shall show you reasons why songs I like don't qualify.  Take, for example, this piece of genius from 1989.  Tell me, what's not to vote for?!

Tell me why? - WHY didn't this qualify.. It has *everything*... no?!

So that was week 2 how did it do?!

Too many Semi Finals - aaaargh!!! ;)

Bulgaria was hideous - It had far too many bad songs and then the right ones got through
Iceland was epic and excellent and has a couple of very good songs
Latvia was bonkers!

But what do you think?

I had a bad dream ( http://www.oneurope.biz has more news)....

That I sat through a Latvian Semi with a woman dressed as a cake.... Paradise Oskar's twin shouting at me and other things...

It wasnt real, was it?!
