2016:
Amir - J'ai cherché
A ‘talent’ show contestant who has failed in two countries, Israel in 2006 and France in 2014, Amir has come to Eurovision to fail again. This song is top ten with the bookmakers, but will fall away when the final is decided.
I cannot get over that Amir is only 31, he looks older than me and I am older than 31. The question for Eurovision is can he sing? Who cares? The song is just a standard pop with a country influence. France will be making the numbers in the final again.
What is it about the French language that makes it sound at random intervals that the speaker is trying to hock a loogie? Beautiful language and then the speaker just spits out a giant phlegm ball. I am just glad the chorus of this song is in English otherwise the front row would be covered in green.
The Phlegm balls sounded nicer in 1975
