Astley, Kylie, Bananarama... Feminem?

Feminem, that was Pete Waterman on the line: He says he wants his song back. Seriously though the song is ludicrously authentic in its 80s British pop vibe. (does that even make sense?) I know I'm late with this but I feel inspired to pitch in on Eurovision. This years was... different to say the least. Feminem, who's name implies rap to me, produced a track worthy of Steps, Bananarama or even Bucks Fizz, Malta had someone with actual vocal talent (ergo no chance of winning), Moldova had a crazy old woman playing a drum with a bizzare collection of Euro-Punks, Germany found a female David Hasselhoff (and dressed her thusly) but far and above al others are Norway who sent WigWam into the competition. WigWam were, simply put, insane. A band that followed in the tradition of The Scorpions more than anything (and not in the crap way that The Darkness try to). Genius. Incidentally, the winners Greece were crap.
