was amused to hear a comment on the radio the other day by a crapovision official that it is a non political contest

You mean expect the usual politically motivated(!) voting which has rendered this tedious "contest" utterly meaningless...

The Russian entry is about 'Mother Russia' #

The funniest thing is the Russian entry, is really a VERY thinly veiled song about love of 'Mother Russia in the breakaway states.

Out of the shadows once again, my enemy, my love

Destiny can’t be avoided, no matter how much you’re prepared

But before you left, with golden ring

you proposed to me and didn’t save me from sorcery

and didn’t let my soul be free

Mum, you’ve been telling me not to desire

Mum, at that time I didn’t know where trouble lied

Mum, you’ve been telling me that time is like water

Mum, Mum, Mum, love is trouble

I will throw away my dream and smash it on the floor

How you’ve broken my destiny and set it aside

I will pour girl’s tears like rain

Mum, you’ve been telling me not to desire

Mum, at that time I didn’t know where trouble lied

Mum, you’ve been telling me that time is like water

Mum, Mum, Mum, love is trouble

Mum, you’ve been telling me not to desire

Mum, at that time I didn’t know where trouble lied

Mum, you’ve been telling me that time is like water

Mum, Mum, Mum, love is trouble

Mum, at that time I didn’t know where trouble lied

Mum, you’ve been telling me that time is like water

Mum, Mum, Mum, love is trouble

... the TV station that is hosting Eurovision said it was nothing to do with them, and that it was the Eurovision organisers who complained. Blame Russia for the things they actually do, rather than everything that comes up ...

The Russian entry is also written by an Estonian, directed by a Georgian, and sung by a Ukrainian. In Ukrainian.

The idea may be to push unity in the CIS, and plenty of Russians are complaining about the nationality of various people, but it's still a reasonable gesture.

Once again, FFS, blame them for things they actually have done wrong.
