http://lineout.thestranger.com/2008/05/the_eurovision_party I hope some of you are now intrigued enough to watch this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. It should be shown on a number of channels e.g. ETV Internacional, most major European channels and it will be streamed on the official...

My Ukrainian co-worker has me convinced Russia will be the winner, though. (She's watching it through Russian television at a friend's, so that means that a Russian broadcast is available in the States...)

Dima Bilan's performance is horribly over the top (though he does rip his shirt open), the ballad is sugary horror, but he's a superstar in Russia and about a dozen other eastern European countries.
