Actually I don't blame the Irish for this catastrophe- I totally get that Jedward appeals to a certain audience, what I don't understand is why it appeals to this audience (I was watching with 12 year old girls, and they get a free pass from me - because 12 year old girls will be 12 year old girls)<br /><br />@Rebecca - good point. It is a strange combination. I'd say Allsang pa skansan is adorable as long as I am holding the remote, and can change the channel as soon as I reach full capacity.Surviving Swedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10144843041249993603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338298233588226936.post-59167673927423534352011-08-01T00:23:25.276-07:002011-08-01T00:23:25.276-07:00The full blown singing in general in this country ...The full blown singing in general in this country is confusing and uncomfortable for me. It's just too much. How can people who are incapable of making eye contact with a stranger in the grocery store able to burst into song while SOBER, completely serious, and staring into each others eyes? I've had a few people at birthday parties do this to me and it's been terrifying. <br /><br />Okay, so I kind of think it's a little bit adorable, but mostly terrifying.rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14312647165994066619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338298233588226936.post-31830463019488409232011-07-31T09:50:31.848-07:002011-07-31T09:50:31.848-07:00Yeah, I saw some of one of these once.
