Off-Topic / Eurovision - Today I will be ashamed to be Polish [586]
As good a place for this as any....
russia, bvtthurt about being kicked out of Eurovision decided to revive a short-lived soviet song contest called Intervision.... which was, among other things, supposed to support traditional family values....
A total of 23 countries (including the US for some reason) signed up.
then... a few days before the competition, the US entrant (One Brandon Howard... I'd never heard of him either.... withdrew) citing family concerns. Rumor was that he had been paid to enter. The song was pretty dreadful.
then last minute an Australian-Greek singer, Vassy, I'd never heard of her either, was announced as a replacement.... only problem is that she's an advocat for lgbt (etc) rights. that information was scrubbed from her wikipedia page (she had a wikipedia page?!) and then just before the contest she withdrew citing political pressure from Australia
then russian regime nazi-singer Shaman (whose song had impressed no one) after performing asked the judges to not award him any points.... as if he'd get any points....
When the dust settled, the winner was Vietnam! Whose performer is named Duc Phuc (make your own joke) whose song was a bit.... similar to this year's winning Eurovision song (not super close but... some similarities).
To make matters more funny.... he's extremely androgynous and makes your average kpop guy look like Jason Momoa in comparison.... if he's heterosexual then I'm Ronald Reagan's illegitimate son....
Next year's contest is set for Saudi Arabia....
