Terminal 3.... The Eurovision Blog

So with the national final season in full swing, the stream of mp3s of the songs are finding their way onto the internet and fan's computers. At the moment, there appears to be 22 available... Albania, Austria, Belarus, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Latvia, Malta, The Netherlands, Norway, Slovenia, Switzerland, Turkey and Ukraine. There is also possibly Italy online as well if they decide to go with Nina's Sanremo entry. Below are my thoughts on the songs. Quality of the sound files differ from bad to very good, so please bear this in mind when you read my comments.... 1. Albania - In two words... boring & painful! I found it really hard to listen to this to the end. Will find it very hard to reach the final. 2. Austria - Oh dear! I take it Austria don't want to win?! 3. Belarus - With a good presentation I think this song has a very good chance of reaching the final as it could stand out.

So after a shed load of rumours flying around regarding the United Kingdoms entry into the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest to be held in Baku the BBC have still not announced anything definate. Today in the Star on Sunday it was announced that Atomic Kitten who had 3 number ones back in the early noughties will be representing the UK, however you would have thought that if a newspaper was making these claims then the BBC would either announce or deny......... but no !!!! As of 16:36hrs on Sunday 26th February the UK fans are still in the dark with no news coming from BBC. So far the rumours have been in the form of Joe McElderry the X Factor winner from 2009, Right Said Fred who had a couple of hits in the 90's, Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice) from the Spice Girls, John Barrowman (Capt Jack Harkness) from Torchwood/Dr Who. I mean come on BBC will you please put us out of our misery.............. we want to know who is going to Baku!!! Mind you if Im honest any of the above except for R

So we now know what the songs are for Albania, Switzerland, France, Malta, Cyprus and Denmark. To be honest, I'm not sure that any of them are the winner. France and Cyprus are fabulous songs. Malta, Albania and Denmark need some work and Switzerland ............. Well I'm sorry, but I can't see it qualifying it is far to 1980's. Afro-dite went out in MF2 in Sweden but Loreen is still in............ both should have qualified in my eyes but never mind. Tooji is my favourite in Norway. We have heard lots of things about other countries but nothing about UK!!! My bet is on John Barrowman (god help us) or Joe McElderry.............. With a good ballad I suppose either of them could do well. My dream the other night, saw someone called Tommy representing us and winning comfortably......... wishful thinking maybe, but a win for the United Kingdom would be fab. The semi final draw is a little controversial to say the least.......... I can not see Serbia or Bosn
