Tonight is the Eurovision song contest and I feel compelled to write something about this because of a babble that got stuck in my head.
Germany’s contestant is a young girl named Lena and she is said to sing a song about love.
The lyrics of the song are in english, consist of the word «love», and a few statements regarding the issue; like the person’s incapability to remain quiet about this to her love or be without the other person’s love, it even goes as far as saying the one in love did her hair as a consequence of her feelings.
Lena recites those feelings in the most indifferent and detached matter, the words are not much to work with but it doesn’t help that her speaking tone also happens to be her singing tone. Her behaviour is so mechanic that during the acoustic performance of the song her tense wobbling made her voice sound like she was being repeatedly hit on the back.
From what I heard the contest is made out of simple acts for friendly costumers (exceptions?, Lordi perhaps?), but it’s not exempt of a good amount of incredibly talented people with great voices and some decent compositions.
So it’s difficult to think of a reason why somebody thought Lena was «fresh» just because she’s not old, even Miley Cyrus has more passion talking about the Bible through her twitter than this Miranda Cosgrove look-alike.
Girl is as dead as the mainstream music industry.
