Lyrics under investigation

InCulto, the Lithuanian entry to this year's Eurovision is reportedly in trouble. Their entry "Eastern European Funk" is filled with political lyrics. Multiple Lithuanian media sources have reported on eurovision-spain's article about the problem. The EBU has started investigation on the severity of the issue. The main lyric that seems to attract attention is "survived the reds and two world wars" referring to the Soviet regime. The other lyric which is said to offend is the way Lithuanians and other Eastern European workers in the West are spoken about, cleaning the rich's houses and building the rich's homes.

Are you going to Oslo?

About .me

3minutes.me is an international bunch of people, obviously Eurovision fans, who want to share their passion with other fans. To some people, Eurovision is a yearly event, to other it's a way of life. 3minutes.me wants to be there for both groups. And we want both groups to become part of 3minutes too. Share your thoughts with us in our blog section. Give your opinion on everything you want that has something to do with the Eurovision Song Contest. Or become a part of the crew, if you feel you have things to contribute. We are open for any proposals (well, many, anyway). 3minutes.me wants to cooperate with everyone else that shares our passion. Contact us, if you want your eurovision website to be connected to ours. We can discuss details from that point.

We would like to thank Jonathan Sheahan, who designed the 3minutes.me logo!
