On Friday evening's post, Tom Paine drew attention to the fact that my taste in women had slipped during this year away from the Slavs. I also detected an "eyes raised to heaven" [that's not easy through the ether] from the lady visitors to this site.
So, in the tradition of "if we're treading on thin ice, we might as well dance", allow me to present More of the Same. :)
Youtube is really, really good.
Their recent scheme, allowing borders in different colours is also helpful. The way they put vids in the list on the right which are not strictly what you'd searched for lets you find new music. I looked for Niagara for Friday evening's post and in the middle of those was this Elli Medeiros thing [below].
OK, so I clicked on it and it wasn't initially impressive. The song was all right, if a bit repetitive and then certain things became apparent. Firstly, she is so energetic, with her own unique style, that she lifted the song out of all proportion to its value - and the Euro-contrived sets and Eurovision naffness is not all that watchable as a rule.
Then the camera swung round to the audience and I laughed - they were nearly all men and they were nearly all doing the gestures she was doing - obviously her way of moving was well known already. Gosh, ladies - imagine that you had hundreds of men watching you, copying your every gesture, every one of them wanting to bed you.
Then I went to the Wiki page on Elli Medeiros and it said she was born in 1956! That made her 31 years of age in this vid. Wow. Then I read about her and she's Uruguayan but went to live in France most of her life. Yet this song was most popular in Italy! Hmmmm.
Compounding that is that the verses are in French but the chorus in Spanish. Had to laugh at some of the [literate?] comments below the vid on the youtube site:

Dude, it was the 80s. On Italian television. During a Festibar thing. We should be glad that there's even a live audience. :)
That's the sort of thing youtube lets us do. I like it.
In poor taste? What about this then? Ha ha:
