Irish Eyes are Smiling...........Or are they?

At last the Irish tricolour has arrived on the blog. It looks like Ireland are going to be having a National Final again which could be interesting.

Will a National Final be enough to bring the pride back to the Irish.......I'm not sure but you can never rule them out of winning again.

Hello all, first off an apology!  The blog has been dormant for far too long.  I'm hoping to start writing regular posts even throughout the ESC off season (is there an off season?!)  If you have any suggestions for what you'd like to see covered in the blog, please leave a comment or contact me. After seeing Portugal winning in 2017, I was hoping that a trend of voting on the quality of a song would emerge and we would start seeing some really good songs winning Eurovision.  Well, that didn't last very long did it?! At the end of the day, the public voted in their masses for Netta, I can't help but think Eurovision took a step backwards when she won.  What is more worrying for me is that some really good songs and good quality singers didn't get rated well by so-called expert juries.  I understand that they still have to vote for songs they like, but surely the juries should be considering quality and structures of songs, quality of voice etc.  w...

Semi final one predicitions

So, following on from the running order review yesterday, here is how Paul and I think it will go... In no particular order, Paul sees the following as qualifying..... 1. Iceland, 2. Greece, 3. Romania, 4. Israel, 5. Cyprus, 6. Denmark, 7. Russia, 8. Ireland, 9. Belgium and 10. Latvia As for me, here are my qualifiers... 1. Iceland, 2. Greece, 3. Albania, 4. Romania, 5. Cyprus, 6. Belgium, 7. Russia, 8. Moldova, 9. Ireland and 10. Denmark. (I also think that Finland and Hungary could run some of the above close.) So, for the Terminal 3 team, our joint qualifiers are.... Iceland, Greece, Romania, Cyprus, Denmark, Russia, Ireland and Belgium. We then disagree on the chances of Israel, Latvia, Moldova and Albania. Agree? Disagree? Tell us. Keep visiting for our semi-final 2 review.

Ruslan Alenho with his song "Hasta La Vista". Will he do as well as Koldun in Helsinki? I am not sure!!! The song itself is very "Europop" and seems to be following a trend at the moment amongst those that have chosen to have this type of music rather than following in the footsteps of last years winner. Will Belarus go through to the final with this song on May 24th? I am not sure I suppose it depends who else is in the semi final with them and which nation the former Soviet States decide to vote for this year. All things considered Good Luck to Belarus in Belgrade!
