I hope that I am still allowed to express my opinions in this humble Yorkshire blog. After all, I do not want to be "cancelled" or "blacklisted" or whatever is done to curmudgeonly old fellows these days.
Last night, the 69th Eurovision Song contest was held in Basel, Switzerland. I must admit that I always greet Eurovision with a degree of revulsion. I scorn the razzmatazz but above all I dislike the shallow, forgettable songs and have zero respect for the second rate performers who broadcast them to the world. The whole thing induces a kind of nausea.
Sad really when songs can be so meaningful and memorable and simply good for us - but not Eurovision songs. They are all and have always been utter rubbish.
This year's winning song came from Austria and was performed by a young man called Johannes Pietsch under the stage name "JJ". The title of the winning song was "Wasted Love" and in my opinion it was bloody awful. You are entitled to your opinion but I repeat that I found it terrible. For your aural reckoning, here it is. Get your ear plugs ready...
If I never hear or see JJ singing "Wasted Love" again I shall be immensely grateful.
