Poland went 'two boobs too far' at Eurovision, says UK judge
A British Eurovision judge has blasted Poland's Eurovision entry as being "soft porn" that went "two boobs too far".
Soprano Laura Wright, one of the five music industry expert on the UK's judging panel, said the song 'We Are Slavic' by artists Donatan and Cleo "took away from what the contest is about."
One of the talking points of the night, the staging saw act Donatan and Cleo (Donatan's the producer, Cleo the singer) accompanied onstage by young women in traditional dress with plunging necklines, miming suggestive domestic chores.
"I was shocked to see something like that on a family show," Wright told the Metro newspaper.
"It’s obvious why their performance has gone down well but that makes me really sad from a woman’s perspective."
Poland's controversial entry received top votes from the public in both the UK and Ireland phone votes, but was judged to be in last place by the expert panel in each country.
"You could see the obvious male appeal but there was no attention paid to the actual song and it is a song contest," Wright, 23, told the Metro.
"It’s not supposed to be about buxom ladies washing their intimates on stage."
Poland finished in 14th position with 62 points in Saturday's Eurovision Grand Finale, which was won by bearded Austrian drag artist Conchita Wurst (290 points).
Ireland's Kasey Smith failed to qualify from the semi-final on Thursday night.
Meanwhile, the original Polish video for Donatan & Cleo's song has been viewed almost 45 million times on YouTube.
Yes, quite.
