hip young gunslinger missed the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday night because the people we were with are a bunch of too-cool-for-school types who would much rather watch an awful film starring Jason Statham doing an awful American accent in awful locations surrounded by other awful actors doing equally awful jobs (but we won’t go into that).
However, we did manage to wrestle control of the remote away long enough to see Ukraine’s entry - the amazing ‘Dancing Lasha Tumbai’. Sparking much “is that a man or a woman - it’s got to be a man”-type debate that threatened to become violent during the song’s breakdown (but we won’t go into that), ‘DLT’ burst out of the screen like the result of a particularly nasty poppers/dressing-up box accident and was, to be frank, completely fucking mesmerising. And not just because it's got one of the most ridiculous key changes ever.
Of course, the real best song of Eurovision 2007 - and the only one that would stand an actual chance in this country’s increasingly stupid charts - was ‘Song #1’ by Serbero, which is a little bit Girls Aloud and a little bit brilliant. Then again we only know that because Popjustice said so, so maybe we should just be quiet about the whole affair for another year and leave things to the experts.
