The Eurovision notes...

[burntcopper]

Sir Terry of Wogan's comments are in italics. And I wonder what it say that the people *funding* the contest mostly deided to do a 'sod it, we're just going to have fun this year.' Me and Anna decided that the Ukraine wuz robbed, and that Sweden and Finalnd should've had more votes. And that Germany didn't get enough votes. Once again, Ireland decided to be crap on purpose. Irish pub bands all over the world will be wincing. We're waiting for them to get out of debt, pull their socks up and compete properly.

1 Bosnia - scary skirt. pretty girl, nice voice. weird sinuous back singers. serenaded with a bazooki.
2 Spain - terry: all white, belt buckles and thrusting trousers. standard boy band, not bad.
3 Belarus - James Bond-ish beginning. now gone full cheese. cute bloke, though.
4 Irish - going for the twee celtic thingy. bad voice. being crap on purpose.
5 Finland - goth/. rather good, very evanescence
6 FYR Macedonia - good voice, nice song, decent ballet backing dancers, just not standing out.
7 Slovenia terry : 'a dark-eyed beauty in a leather bustier - ride of the valkyries'. trying to look like goth, gone a bit opera
8 Hungary - blues/country, not bad but not stand-out
9 Lithuania - mediterranean-esque guitar thingy - not bad, just boring,
10 Greece terry: saucily dressd lovelies shaking it in a way that went out with pan's people. ricky martin like with scantlyi dresed danceres. pretty good.
11 Georgia - girl in red dress with nice applique on back, good song, with added cossacks
12 Swedish - terry:an androgynous lad with an intriguing line in metallic chest hair. glam rock with outshame and extra eyeliner. stonking good fun. and the jacket comes off!
13 France - they are taking the piss and having fun in pink and black. we like them.
14 latvia - top hats, tails and jeans, sub il divo.
15 Russia - shouty girl group
16 Germany - swing- 1950s type. very dean martin. with his own house band. we approve.
17 Serbia - girl in suit with backing singers far prettier than her. blrgh.
18 Ukraine - silver nutter techno dame edna gone mad. we approve.
19 UK - Scooch. gay anthem here we come.
20 Romania as many natioanlities as possible in one song.
21 Bulgaria - dance anthem-ish with rocky tones. meh.
22 Turkey - dancers in gold and white, bloke in red jacket pretty average
23 armenia - the man is doing a cheesy. he just needs chest hair and a medallion, really he does.
24 moldova - fiddle to start, rock anthem

Finland- my husband would. So he said.
Greece - not so much Ricky Martin "like" as a complete rip off of Maria.
Sweden - Sweet/Gary G/Wizzard/Placebo/Marc Almond combined singing Love grows where my Rosemary goes
Ukraine - Christopher Biggins outtacking Scooch. Even Sir Tel agreed with me.
Scooch - Scotia, air Scotia, you're just the one for me. Or something along those lines with a Piff Paff Poff.
The winners - Kd lang or Carlos the Jackal? I still can't quite decide.
