As Jane Austen would say, it is a truth universally acknowledged, that you will always find links to Eurovision in the most unusual and random places.
Some of you may remember our Twenty More Signs You’re A Eurovision Fanatic post from a few months ago. And those of you with really good memories might recall sign number 10. If not I’ll repeat it again.
You almost lost it in the cinema when you heard Gaitana’s “Be My Guest”playing during the brothel scene in the vampire film “Byzantium”. You lost it again when you couldn’t find the clip on YouTube.

And now for the infamous clip. But be warned, this is definitely NSFW!!!

She should have presented herself with a more powerful and more believable song that reflected herself as a great singer. You grow up listening to gospel, soul and r&b and you sing with range and power … you should never be doing simplistic and bublegumm-ish song like this one.
