Eurovision 2016

The Eurovision finale was broadcast in New Zealand for the first time, and I missed it! To be fair, it started at 7am here, and it sucks. I could not have sat through four hours of it. I could barely sit through 9 minutes of it:

All I can say is that this year didn't disappoint. (Be sure to check out the winner, Ukraine, in its entirety.) Also check out the UK entry--to be fair, they didn't come in last place as usual, but it is ironic that artists from Azerbaijan and Belarus sang better English. (I think the line was "I come alive when I'm with you" but it sure sounds like "I come a lot when I'm with you.")
