Auto-tune from my beloved Human League? Noooooooo.

I suppose it’s slightly interesting that they aren’t really professional singers, but an improv comedy troupe that specializes in parodies of the songs of Portugal’s 1974 Carnation Revolution. Normally I’d award extra points for non-English songs, but this is wretched. Of the dozen or so entries I’ve posted so far, I’m still liking Belarus purely for its cheesetasticness.

Not terrible, but you’ll miss Martha Wash.

A boy band from ten years ago? For Eurovision? Meh.

This sounds like the theme song to a 70s sitcom, yet it has enough of that Eurovision earnestness to make it tolerable. I do like the horns a lot. Here it is in Icelandic. So few acts seem to be competing in their native languages this year, which sucks.

“It’s OK to be out. I do think it is. I do think it’s acceptable for people to be who they are. I am a huge advocate of that. In that sense, that’s the only way we can truly love ourselves, it’s by accepting who we are and letting everybody know who we are. So, I’m very proud – you …

THIS is Eurovision.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen an a capella + beatbox Eurovision entry. Very Manhattan Transfer. I like this.

Pleasant enough, but again lacking the Eurocheese.

Meh. Where’s my beloved Eurovision cheese? I’d normally discount this entry from having a chance, but then I remember Finland’s bizarre Lordi, who won in 2006.

“We were very surprised and disappointed by the statements made by Lady Gaga’s organization related to her partnership with Target. Target remains committed to the LGBT community as demonstrated by our contributions to various LGBT organizations, our recently established Policy Committee to review our political giving and our respectful, inclusive workplace environment.” – Target spokesperson.

“First, by Stefani Germanotta’s own admission, she’s built her entire persona and celebrity on a platform that’s anything but typical. She is playing a part, a role, and not living as she would outside the bright lights. Put another way, Lady Gaga was clearly not born this way. “Second, and more importantly, the message found within the lyrics of Born …

Transgender Israeli pop star Dana International won Eurovision 1998 with her single Diva, which went on to become a worldwide smash. This year she represents Israel again with the self-penned Ding Dong.

Earlier this month it was reported that Lady Gaga had struck a special promotional deal with Target with the stipulation that the company “start affiliating themselves with LGBT charity groups.” Now it appears that deal has fallen through. Carmen Cacciatore, co-founder of Fly-Life marketing agency, announced this afternoon that the earlier reported deal between Target Corp. and Lady Gaga was …

Cheesy even by Eurovision standards. Reminds me a bit of Brotherhood Of Man, who won for the UK in 1976.

“On a sliding scale of sexuality I’d place myself around 80-20, but I definitely prefer men to women. I had sex with, and enjoyed sex with, women until I met someone that I fell in love with, and who is now my boyfriend. I wasn’t troubled or confused, but I just felt there wasn’t a place for me. I hate …

When did Topher Grace get so hawt? By the way, the original Don’t You Want Me came out thirty freakin’ years ago. Now help Paw-Paw to his rocker.

Yup, same song.

Hair inspired by the late John Sex? They’re identical twins.

First time I’ve seen a magic trick in one of these clips.
