Europe has had an utterly miserable 14 months, thanks in large part to gestures broadly at everything . But fear not; the task of cheering up the continent’s 750 million inhabitants could not have fallen to a more qualified group.
A trumpet-playing German dancer dressed as a middle finger! A singer accused of advocating Satan-worship! A smattering of central and Eastern European talent show veterans! And, for some reason, Flo Rida! They’re all on hand, along with scores of other eccentrics, to cheer up a region itching for a party.
Eurovision, the world’s campest and occasionally cringeworthiest competition, is back in action a year after its first-ever cancellation.
