About me
Im just your very average Eurovision fan - no hang on theres nothing average about me at all lol
Read full biographyMoldova - opt for more rubbish
Posted 11/Mar 2012 at 22:18 by Brendan Bonner.
I have to say I am dismayed at the quality of song this year (seems I feel the same each year and I know that many will be reworked but I got the feeling too many nations are options for the freak appraoch rather than a decent song and performance
Moldova just continue that list
No wonder Eurovision gets such a hard time in the public media
