Eurovision 2012: Montenegro

Montenegro has come back the the Eurovision Song Contest after a two year absence, and I'm intrigued by their entrant, who has possibly the most entertaining name of a singer ever to grace the Eurovision stage.

Rambo Amadeus "Euro Neuro"

 

Montenegrin television internally selected Amadeus, who has been a performer in the Balkans since the 1980s, and he's, well, he's his own artist.

Although the song is a melange of quirky, almost unintelligible rhymes and techno beats, the song has a serious message about the current economic crisis in the Eurozone.

I have to tip my hat to Mr. Amadeus, he's taken two of the tropes of each Eurovision song contest and put them together.  Each year, there's a quirky song and there's a political song, and Rambo Amadeus has combined them together in "Euro Neuro". 

 

In other words, this song has a snowball's chance in hell of making it to the finals, just like almost every other quirky song and political song of the past ten or so years.

But I'm certain Amadeus will put on an entertaining performance.
