What with Engelbert Humperdinck representing the UK and Grannies representing Russia, are we seeing the end of the cult of youth?

Hi marianne,
One of the reasons Engelbert  was chosen was because he is well known in Europe;the reason for the Russian Grannies eludes me. I do not know whether or not it is the beginning of the end of the cult of youth. 

However the fact that we are living longer and those once considered aged are healthier and more active are now perceived as the new 50's  and new 60's.
