This is the Night!

It's May and that means it's time for the cheesiest music competition of all time... EUROVISION! There is no competition like no other when Europe unites to showcase some of the best and worst musical talent in a contest where the voting is extremely unfair and politically driven. However, that never stops the show! We get to see an array of musical performances and cultures from an array of age groups and genres showcase their talent to pretty much the world in this 3 day running competition. This is the birthplace of ABBA, Gina G (ooo ahh just a little bit) and that Noreigian boy who fell in love with a fairytale- Alexander Rybak!

I thought that I would share with you one of my favourite Eurovision performances by Malta last year because it is so catchy in a musical and dancing manner. This is a dance routine made up for Malta's Eurovision entry in 2012, 'This is the Night'. Words do not need to explain why I find this so awesome! If only this song was popular in clubs in Australia, move over Macarena! 

This video brings back so many memories and it reminded me of the craziness of Eurovision last year including our 'hilarious' tweets and commentary in an effort to be seen on the Australian broadcast of the competition. I even recall learning this dance with my friends and thinking that we mastered it much better than the guy on the right side! (He seems a little unenthused, dont you think?).
