Eurovision Results and African Russians

I should have known better than to say in the last post that I would post again in exactly 2 weeks.

Ha.

Anyway, the Eurovision finals were very exciting to watch, and the tension mounted exponentially with each country that announced their winners of their points.

Except not really.

Germany's Lena Meyer-Landrut won as the clear favorite with her song "Satellite", a song that should have been in another language just so we wouldn't have been so painfully aware of the nothingness of it.

Oi. Maybe I'm being harsh. It's a cute little teen love song, but the melody is very simple and the words are rather cheesy and the singing is... funny. Check it out.



See what I mean? (By the way, my favorite Eurovision entry that I mentioned in the last post, Manga (from Turkey, song: We Could Be the Same) got second place. JYESS. )

Speaking of good music, check out this one! Who would have ever thought that a marriage of African beats and Russian language could be so AWESOME?

The title and singer is Lyubov' Spasyot Mir (Love Saves the World) by Vera Brezhneva. It's supercool. I've been listening to it like, nonstop.
