Well in my opinion it is. I watched it when I got home from work last night as is the norm for me on a Saturday if I happen to be working because of course I want to see whether the Icelandic heats are getting better or worse!!! Ihave to say in my opinion which I might add is not a professional opinion by any stretch of the imagination yesterdays heat was by far and away the best yet. The song which has been sent to the National Final in Iceland is probably the catchiest yet and I believe stands the best chance at the moment compared to the others................mind you with do have The Hara Sisters to see yet and their song...... Could the Icelandic Heats be turning into compulsive watching amongst fans!!!!????? we shall have to see.
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!
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...
If only the 25 finalists had voted:- Sweden 229 Russia 155 Serbia 121 Azerbaijan 102 Germany 76 Estonia 74 Albania 72 Turkey 71 Italy 65 Romania 58 Cyprus 54 Moldova 50 Ukraine 46 Spain 44 Macedonia 44 Greece 39 Bosnia 33 Lithuania 31 Iceland 31 Ireland 24 Malta 21 Denmark 16 Hungary 11 France 10 UK 9 Norway 3 Well there you have it Sweden would have still won and would have knocked Katrina off the top spot for the most points in a Final. The intrersting thing to see is that Germany would have been Top 5 with Albania dropping to 7th. Italy would still have been 9th. I think the big suprise would be Spain dropping out of the Top 10 14th. The UK and Norway would have still been the bottom 2. Now lets see what would happen if those not qualifying had had 1 vote betwe...
