Slovakia are back!!!

And about time too!!!!

So that just leaves Italy (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE COME BACK!), Austria (who wont be in Moscow), Monaco (Still no decision), Luxembourg (PLEASE PLEASE COME BACK!!) and Georgia (who have decided not to go to Moscow)

I have to say I was suprised the Slovaks didn't come back this year after the Czech Republics first attempt.

I wonder what the Slovaks will send to Moscow? How will they choose it? Will they do as badly as before?

I hope not...... Motlidba was fantastic and should have been a lot higher in the rankings than where it finished in 1998........ 8 points was abysmal for such a fantastic song. Mind you it's not the first time a fantastic song did so poorly - remember Rita Guerra in 2003 for Portugal.

Anyway here is Slovakian 1998 entry to remind you.

I really want to see Monaco back - they were pure genius in the last couple of years!

La Coco Dance! - How many other times has Tahitian been seen at Eurovision?

And Notre Planete - When you wear a dress made of lightbulbs - you should win!

Looking back

Well another year's contest is over and I'm now back at home. So what are my thoughts on the contest? There are two things that stand out this year.... 1. Belgrade's/Serbia's apathy towards the contest, and 2. The results (as always!) So let's look at them in turn.... 1. After the recent elections, it appears that Serbians are keen to join the EU and after many years of troubles, which I will not go into, I would have thought that hosting the Eurovision would have been an excellent way to show what they are capable of. However, in the city itself, you would have been hard pressed to actually know that the contest was taking place! For most of the week, the only thing you could see with regards to the Eurovision was that a few shops were cashing in on the merchandise, a single information stall in one of the squares and I saw one advertisment for the Azerbaijan entry (there may have been more). So why did they not take up the opportunity? Was it that after the rec

Oh dear Cyprus!

After watching the Cypriot final on eurovision.tv I am left with one burning question! Do Cyprus want to qualify from their semi-final? With a good number of entries over recent years I was looking forward to seeing the first national final to be webcast over eurovision.tv, however I really couldn't believe my eyes when the result was announced. One word that comes to mind with the winner is..... outdated! I could quite imagine this song being sung in an old black and white movie, but in the 2008 Eurovision - come on! It's about time that countries took this contest seriously! To win Eurovision now, you have to either have very good friendly neighbours or a damn good song. I know good songs are hard to find, but at least they could try! This song isn't even a good novelty song like Ukraine 2007. I'd say that this song would be a nil pointer, but everyone knows that they'll get 12 points from Greece! Here's a video of the winning song...... why Cyprus, WHY?!
