My Qualifiers from Semi Final1

By -
Well its been an interesting few days for me. My annual leave has started from my job but I wont arrive in Dusseldorf until next Tuesday 10th May following a brief trip to Brussels on the way. However I have been watching the rehearsals on the internet since Sunday and I would like to wish my friends and fellow bloggers that are in Dusseldorf a very big HELLO.

Anyway after watching the first sets of rehearsals from semi 1 in no particular order I believe the 10 going through............ not sure whether to write should be, would be, want to be or will be????!!!! Ok my 10 favourites whom I believe should go through are:-

Iceland
Finland
San Marino
Serbia
Switzerland
Azerbaijan
Russia
Poland
Norway
Turkey

However, I do think that with the voting that Greece, Armenia and Albania could sneak in.

And as I hear a cry from the audience.......... "No Hungary!!!!" Yes I know however as much as I do like the song and it is in my personal Top 10 favourites of this year I do believe she is going to be the Kate Ryan of the contest and following a very shambolic rehearsal it certainly would not suprise me in the least.

1 week today we will know the first 10 qualifers to the Eurovision Song Contest Final and am getting very excited by it all at the moment because in theory I do believe that this year could be the year that we get a suprise as there are a lot of good songs out there.

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

Why?!

So Terry Wogan has finally retired having damaged the reputation of the Eurovision Song Contest in the UK for far too many years. So, considering that the UK seem to be trying to take the pre -selection a bit more seriously by having Lord Andrew Lloyd- Webber help, who do they decide to take over? GRAHAM NORTON!! WHY?! For one, Graham Norton has no experience at commentating. Two, I doubt Graham Norton has any experience of being serious! So we'll be subjected to more poor jokes, tasteless innuendos as the BBC moves the commentating more away from the music. How can Terry Wogan complain about the contest moving away from being a Music contest, when the BBC has failed to treat it as such for so long! So here's to many more years of Eurovision being a total joke in the UK!
