Watching this year’s Eurovision was a blast! A lot of very colorful performances. Congratulations to Russia with the 1st place, Ukraine came in 2nd and Greece was 3rd.

My personal favorite was France. Since we were not allowed to vote for Ukraine, France was my pick. We did actually participate in the live voting process by sending SMS messages from our cell phones to the number provided on the screens of our TVs during the contest.

Sebastien Tellier’s “Divine” [the French performer I liked] was a very unique (musically as well as vocally) composition. I didn’t quite understand the meaning of the song at first (I couldn’t figure out the meaning of the word ‘Chivers’), but later when I found out what it meant, the song started to make some sense to me :)

Lyrcis can be found here

And the story behind this song (as well as the meaning of C.H.I.V.E.R.S) can be found here .
