00:00I don't really know too much about it, to be honest.

00:04I mean, I know it's kind of like...

00:06It depends how you view it.

00:08Musically, I've never really been that interested.

00:11I always thought it's kind of like...

00:13I don't know, it's like soft power, isn't it?

00:16It's a way of kind of courting the Eastern Europe

00:19and Israel's in there, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan.

00:23So the boundaries of Europe are kind of like,

00:25it's trying to bring them in.

00:26I don't watch it, but I feel sometimes a lack of passion.

00:29Because even when, back in the day, my parents used to watch it,

00:33and they didn't care,

00:34but you'd be more passionate about the situation.

00:36I feel it's become more satirical.

00:39So I'm not surprised that Britain...

00:41It's not something I think they spend a lot of time doing it, really.

00:45And I get it, it can become more satirical,

00:47but sometimes you have to add fun to it.

00:49But at the same time, I feel, get back to the roots.

00:52Yeah.

00:53I'm not that bothered to be honest.
