If you watched the Eurovision Song Contest last week (like me) you may have enjoyed the excellent flash mob of Europeans (and folk from other countries close[ish] to Europe) dancing away during the interlude before the scoring started.  My friend Rhian is fascinated by the flash mob and has pronounced it “The new karaoke”. Flash mobs certainly aren’t that new but added to a sing along they give a karaoke a big lift.

There really is something mesmerising about watching a flash mob get going.  Loads of people all moving in unison, it is amazing.  There must be some genetic reason that our eyes get glued to this (matching armies make you fixate in the same way).  Anyway, here is a selection of flash mob antics from YouTube – ENJOY…

EUROVISION 2010 – takes a while to get going but stick with it (the heavy handed bouncers at the start are classic!) PS London flash mob contribution rubbish in this video – ho hum it just matches the TERRIBLE last place performance of the UK this year!:

BEYONCE SINGLE LADIES (100 OF THEM!) – sound not great but brilliant dancing:
