The Eurovision Song Contest is a monumental folly at best, but don't let's take that way from the winner. Well done. That said, We have homophobic countries like Byelorus and Russia demanding the the winners performance be edited out.
Quick question - what do they have to do with Europe anyway? Back to the caves, you Neanderthals!
Quick answer - Russia and Belarus are in Eastern Europe. Not that hard to work out even for me.
A more sensible question would be - What have Israel got to do with Europe? No one ever asks that one.
Perhaps the question should be asked, 'what do you think of the winning song' without having seen the singer? Too much emphais is on presentation, and while that is important it should not take precedent over the song, which unfortunately lived up to the usual eurovision standard. Personally, I didn't like the song, so the singer's presentation was of no importance to me.
