I’m embarrassed to say I watched Junior Eurovision song competition this year. Adult Eurovision (just called plain old Eurovision) is huge, and since Armenia was hosting Junior Eurovision this year and I’d seen posters and some vans with the logo, I thought it would be pretty big. It was quite disappointing… only 13 countries competed, so only 12 guest countries. 3 were from Western Europe and the rest from closer to Armenia. Each song was less remarkable than the others, and the winners, Georgia with some song about candy were clearly pandering to the candy lovers out there. Selling themselves for votes… and it worked.
I won’t bore you with any more details, except to say the Armenian male host of the show had the strangest accent I could imagine. I don’t know where it comes from, it’s not an Armenian accent, not a Russian accent… does anyone know? Here’s a video report on the competition in case you want to see just how I managed to waste 2 hours of my life.
