OK, seems my current two choices are at opposite ends of the table. |

Top tip, if you're doing exposition, don't make it obvious you're reading from a card. |

I'd like Moldova to host, but I don't want a third division Bros tribute band to win for this to happen. |

I said 'Croatia', Europe said 'Portugal'. And I feel in no position to dispute this. Honestly, these people voting on musicality rather than showmanship. Are they really that unshallow? |

How do neither the Eurovision judges or the Eurovision voting public understand the point of Eurovision? Giving good songs points? Huh? |

Shouldabeen Azerbaijan. However I gave Onuka 36 points despite them not being part of the contest. |

2018 Semi-final time! Yay! I don't normally watch these, preferring to just savour everything raw on the night, but I'm busy on Saturday so this is my only chance to get some proper Euro stuff this year. |

Albania: More powerful musically than Iceland's; the kind of thing you'd hear on a warm Thursday afternoon on Radio 6. Didn't like his coat, however. |

Belarus: He looks like a Lego man. Sings like one too. The bit with the rose was ok, and some seductive skirt waving in front of the camera is always worth an extra point or so. |

Post subject: | Re: Eurovision Song Contest |
Estonia: Ooo, we like a big flowing dress with flashy effects, even if she is confined to one spot like the sharp end of a cocktail umbrella. She did the operatic bits well too. Definitely in the running for a top 10 place. |

Bulgaria: Wow, He-Man's looking good for his age. I think I should like this, but they're taking it a little bit too slow. Needs more beat. |

FYR Macedonia: A bit tedious. Still, the drummer and guitarist look happy to be there, so that's something positive. |
Author: | Kern [ Tue May 08, 2018 20:56 ] |
Post subject: | Re: Eurovision Song Contest |
Croatia: Perfectly acceptable middle-of-the-road offering, like a Shania Twain track. The dress is a bit revealing. Not my favourite, but can see why people would like it. 73%. |

Austria: At some point I started clicking along. Sometimes even in time. Catchy. Not sure about the raised platform he starts on or the space bin bag he's wearing in lieu of a t-shirt, but otherwise this is ace. |

Post subject: | Re: Eurovision Song Contest |
Greece: Argh... I really want to like this, but it's not doing it for me. I think the orchestration is wrong. She should be accompanied by a live drummer and one or two other musicians, and let the rhythm and singing carry the song, not the lighting. I'm also not sure her voice has the strength to carry it by herself. |

Switzerland: Right song; wrong outfits. This is has shot up my short list. The chorus would great for a crowd to yell out at gigs. Yeah.... flares! The proper, firery ones. |

Ireland: Ryan is lovely and stolen my heart from Mr Iceland Very pleasant song, but perhaps the chorus needs a little oomph. But oh, lovely Ryan. Back in a bit. |

Cyprus: In which evil scientists have bred clones of Mel C for backing vocals. Great choreography. Nice flashy effects. As for the song, well, I've had more fire from my trangia. Again, a song suffers by not getting the tempo right, although they might struggle to dance properly were it any faster. |

So, my favourites to go throught: Azerbijan; Iceland; Lithuania; Estonia; Austria; Switzerland; and Ireland (ahhh Ryan). Oh, and Israel because it's so amazingly bonkers. |
