Eurovision entry was “two boobs too far” for one British judge, who marked Donatan & Cleo down despite the UK voting public loving them.



“We Are Slavic” was ranked first by UK voters but placed last by the country’s expert jurors, with soprano Laura Wright arguing that it “took away from what the contest is about”.

“I’d say it was soft porn. It was two boobs too far for me,” she told Metro. “It’s obvious why their performance has gone down well but that makes me really sad from a woman’s perspective.”

Wright added that Donatan & Cleo’s act was particularly shocking as Eurovision is a family event, meaning it “stuck out for the wrong reasons”.

“You could see the obvious male appeal but there was no attention paid to the actual song – it’s not supposed to be about buxom ladies washing their intimates on stage,” she said.

BBC commentator Graham Norton struggled for words after the Polish girls performed on Saturday and eventually finished in 14th place, three above the UK’s Molly Smitten-Downes.

Norton lampooned “We Are Slavic” as a “feminist anthem” while likening it to “Carry on up the Eurovision”. “I’ve never seen butter churning get a reaction like that before,” he said.

Leicestershire singer-songwriter Molly came 17th with 62 points for her self-penned entry, “Children of the Universe”.

Austria’s bearded drag artist Conchita Wurst was crowned winner, much to the delight of LGBT supporters across Europe and much to the disdain of Russian politicians.

How did she do when she got to the "rockets' red glare" part?

She did well on "send her Victoria's"

Interesting isn't it, that women with large breasts are condemned as "soft porn", but the bearded bloke dressed as a woman who wins is seen as not worth comment.

Miss Wright has sung it a number of times at various sporting events; (though not including the verse my dreadful pun references) here she is singing it wearing the attire in question:



I must say she has a lovely singing voice, despite The Epic Fashion Fail...

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On England's pleasant pastures seen!

And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark Satanic Mills?

Bring me my Bow of burning gold;
Bring me my Arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of fire!

I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In England's green & pleasant Land
