PRINCESS IN CONE + DEMENTOR ON A STICK ≠ GOOD CHOICE for EUROVISION 2019
Oh Australia! Yet again I am ASHAMED to be AUSTRALIAN!
It’s not just Clive Palmer or our treatment of refugees, it’s Australia’s entry for Eurovision 2019…
Yikes. The world is SOOOOOO OVER big dresses.
Starting back with Linda Wagenmakers, Netherlands 2002 – or maybe even earlier – the idea of a big dress has been DONE TO DEATH.
She went for WIDE:
After that it was all out for HEIGHT. And then HEIGHT with special effects…
I suppose many Australians getting into Eurovision for the first time find the idea of a big dress wild and creative and original.
IT’S NOT!
Here’s proof of some excellent pre-2019 big dresses:
2013 was THE YEAR for the BIG dress: Or the big, er, COAT:
In 2018, Estonia gave us the BIG DRESS + projection + opera singer all-in-one:
And after all this, what does Australia come up with?
Yikes!
THE END
News through that Australia will be in Eurovision 2016…
This is WRONG, peoples.
Australia had a special guest slot at Eurovision 2015. It was thrilling to participate, to wake up at 5am and see it LIVE. And to VOTE for the first time ever (even through the phone voting packed up completely…did you get my 13 votes for Norway???).
Eurovision 2015 was amazing. And Europe was exceedingly GRACIOUS in accepting us and making us welcome.
But we don’t belong there.
Eurovision belongs to the Europeans!
Please Australia, get a grip. Please EBU, don’t invite us.
It is embarrassing, awkward and STUPID for us to do it again.
