moogingRight, I have done two exams this week and now I learn the lovely Vergil (no doubt this process will be peppered of plenty of hate for Dido).
And instead of spamming you all with fic, I decided to do a Eurovision entry! (This is in no way copyingrionaleonhart. Nooo.)
Beyond the cut, there lies the songs I liked (I say liked. I mean liked more than the other rubbish).
Eurovision, of course, is the Eurovision Song Contest, in which European countries all sing some (usually very, very poor / cheese-filled) song and then they all vote forthe most popular country the best song. Tricky, I admit. Usually, a song I hate wins and I have no idea of politics or the world around me, really and so I have no idea what the country has done to deserve the dubious honour.
England is systematically awful. No, I refuse to link to our video. It was hideous. It had a airline theme and involved the phrase 'salty nuts'. Go away. IT DESERVED NO POINTS. It did, however, win some. COUNTRIES ARE STUPID.
We in England are also blessed to have the wonderfully sardonic Terry Wogan doing the voiceover for us, and he proceeds to get steadily more drunk and steadily more rude and laugh a lot at everyone, and it is gleeful.
I make a little score sheet with my own categories, because I am pathetic, and this year the categories were: Innate Likeability, Talent (and not many people scored highly there, I can tell you), Hot or Not Gyrating, Cheesiness of Outfit (many high scores) and Attractiveness.
It is, all things considered, a very shallow evening.
I HAVE POOR MUSICAL TASTE. Please bear that in mind when viewing the selection of my preferred songs.
So, in my Religious exam, I LIED A LOT. The questions weren't hideous, and I think I've done okay, but that usually means I've done terribly so I don't know what to think.
As my reward for not completely failing the exam (despite oversleeping this morning and getting up 15 minutes before I had to leave the house, which meant I had no breakfast and nothing to drink before being propelled into the most pointless exam ever. And it only counts as half a GCSE because it's Short Course. And the grade boundaries are HORRIBLE. 82/84 for an A*, anyone?), I am going to watch House and then watch Shark, which I keep meaning to watch and keep going to bed instead.
With a bag of Aero Bubbles.
Oh yeah.

To start off, have some hot Russian girls singing attractively:
Russia: Serebro - Song Number One
Okay, so I like this mainly for the hot girls and the chorus and the kicky background beat thing (Music is not my strong point, I admit) but it's fun, so yaye.
Ukraine: Dancing Lasha Tumbai
This one I actually didn't know what to make of upon first viewing but it has grown on me with its insanity and gleeful crackiness. CRAZY TINFOIL DANCING FTW.
Moldova: Natalia Barbu - Fight
This is another shallow choice as it appeals to the person in me that jumps up and down screaming 'pretty girl singing empowering sounding things! huzzah!'. This is the part of me that owns Christina Aguilera and Avril Lavigne cds. I DID WARN YOU ABOUT MY MUSICAL TASTE.
Finland: Hanna Pakarinen - Leave Me Alone
So, yes, this comes from the part of me that owns Evanescence cds. Shh. I like it.
Hungary: Magdi Ruzsa - Unsubstantial Blues
I like this because it made me sit up and take notice when someone who could actually sing started singing on my television, and it's just very different to the normal Eurovision fare, being a Blues song, but it's lovely and gentle and I really like it.
France: Les Fatals Picards - L'amour a la francaise
(That should have accents on but my keyboard is refusing to allow them right now) So this is back to the crazy, and Terry Wogan really didn't like this but I find it charming and groovy and yaye. There are men in pink. One of them has a cat on his shoulder. There is mad running. So I barely know what it means, it's fabulous. *bops along*
I should have issued that 'MY MUSICAL TASTE IS BAD' warning in larger letters, I think.
Also, I bet I'm the only person still listening to Eurovision songs. THEY MAKE ME SMILE, STOP JUDGING ME.

Date: 2007-05-17 06:04 pm (UTC)My favourites were (in no particular order): Ukraine, Hungary, Germany, Romania and Sweden. Though that performance wasn't The Ark's best one, sadly. =/ Ola Salo is so pretty, though. ::pets him::
I thought the music for the Russian entry was fab, but didn't much like the lyrics/singers, sadly enough.

Date: 2007-05-17 10:31 pm (UTC)I liked the Finnish Evanescencey type girl too..and where is Bulgaria in this entry? She was so little and sexy and gothgirl and playing drums!! We liked her. We liked her a lot.
Have to stand up for Scooch here. I think that song is hilarious!! I could dance all day to it. But hey, I own lots of questionable music ;)
Only actually saw half of the prog cos of Joseph/Grease, but the half I saw was most entertaining. I usually find it quite boring.
Yey, you lied through your RE exam, hoorah for you! I did that also. Much fun to be had doing that.
Luffffffs you
