From Russia with Love
Last night, the 4th Junior Eurovision Song Contest was held in Romania. I haven’t mentioned this event on my blog because it really isn’t worth a mention. It is possibly the worst TV show. Ever. As such, the UK didn’t even bother to take part this year. However, what you may lack in credibility, you can certainly make up for in comedy.
Yesterday’s event was won by Russia, a song called Vesna by the Tolmatchevy Twins. It had a 25-point clear lead over last year’s winners Belarus and was, therefore, a unanimous winner. Goodness knows why.
Imagine a cross between I Just Wanna Make Love To You by Etta James and the theme tune to The Addams Family. This is what Vesna actually sounds like.
Here’s a YouTube clip for those who are interested:

You see, even the UK refuse to take this event seriously anymore. Which is a shame, because the first Junior Eurovision in 2003 was great. It was won by a guy called Dino for Croatia with a cracking little song which he performed very well to. Since then, things have gone rather downhill. A personal highlight of mine was the 2004 Dutch entry, when I began to question why I wasn’t doing anything better with my Saturday night.
Imagine a cross between a midi-file and an explosion in a whistle factory. This is what the Netherlands’ entry of two years ago – Hej Is Een Kai – sounded like.
In fact, it's so bad, I couldn't even find a clip of it on YouTube.
Hmm.
If you do want a good laugh over the festive period, I’m sure you’ll be able to get your hands on a copy on eBay soon. Otherwise, it’s back to thinking about the big boys’ contest again – only three weeks ‘til Albania pick the first 2007 entry!!!
Please let it be better than Vesna.
N.B. Is ‘Vensa’ a Russian word for ‘Shit’?
