Pretty much so I would've thought. Also, nicve to see that the San marino entry brought their dad out to be a backing singer. ...sorry did I hear that right "Powered by the Little Chef"? |

The "drummer" is incredibly annoying. I think they think by jumping around they add energy to the song. |

Aargh, why do they always put all of the boring songs through? Hungary, for fucks sake! I've heard more interesting Nickleback songs. Gutted for Israel - thought they were very funny. Also, I really do have a bit of a soft spot for Jedward. I find their funny little jumps endearing. They were very excited when they were put through, weren't they? |

I like looking out for the anonymous backing singers on stage. Loads of the acts have them as I think they're allowed a maximum of six people on stage as part of their group. They stand at the back of the stage, dressed in dark colours and not dancing or moving. They're kind of creepy! |

And I am here - ready to blog! Right, big spangly stadium, Serbia opening with woman on her shoulder-guitar, um, violin. "Kenny G's playing the bassoon!" - Lord Rixondale. Very slick, but the lead should be wearing a tie. And now he's getting over-excited... wait - Kenny G's switched to a flute! "This is shit." - Lord Rixondale. They look scarily focused. I assume the song is about invading ethnic enclaves or something. AND VIDEO! Mindless woman wibbling over creamy visuals of sheiks and women, like some Fry's Turkish Delight advert. And here comes Macedonia with... "Black and White". Oddly not a cover of Jackson's opus. More over-wroughtness, soulful singing, dark looks... And then! Shonky poor camp rock-out! Who's that fool on the drums in the hat? Jimmy Sommerville? And an excruciating guitar solo too! Nederlands next. We see shots of Baku, a rather fine looking city with wavy buildings. Let's go visit there. No tilt shift photography though. What will they bring? |

Joan Franka I love you. She's wearing an indian headdress and a lovely blue dress and looks completely zoned out, strumming a guitar. And wow - she's got a band. "Backed by the Wurzles," informs Rixondale. They appear to be segregated from her by fire. Perhaps there'll be human sacrifice. Everyone looks terribly happy. Prozac happy. And then she sings, "Eye," and it crash zooms into her eye. Awesome! And now they're all together. Lovable. Rating: Rixondale: 7/10 Lady R: 5/10 Me: 8/10 - Cos it's lovely. |

Malta wants us to look at him and see that he's here for us. Thanks for that. "All I need is one more chance," and then he leers at us. Rixondale is excited by his little dancing feet. As well we all are. Incredibly camp backers, obv, and Ikea furniture. He appears to be wearing driving gloves. Once again foolish looking man on mix. With red mohican. He just jumped over someone! He looks like if the ginger baddy from Robocop was kidnapped and turned into a scissor sister. Synchronised stupid feet dance! This seals the deal, despite awful woman singing. Rixondale: 8/10 - "For the feet." Lady R: 8/10 Me: 7/10 - Also for the feet and inappropriate leering. And more insider political corruption info from Scott Mills regarding Belarus. Ta for that. Horses run about and now for the song. Belarus's bloke looks... awful. Chainmail shirt. Further gayness. "I can really see why the President of Belarus wanted this in." - Lord Rixondale. They sing, "We are the heroes, we are the winners." Modest. Oh wait - they're doing amazing leaning backwards - incredbile! And lead bloke did Power Rangers move. Tron background is nice. Three guitars, one drums, and the sound of none of them in generic bippy Europop. Basically it's one long chorus. Bored now. And fireworks. Lord Rixondale: 5/10 Lady R: 7/10 Me: 4/10 |

Now for Portugal and Phillipa Sousa. More warbling. They look awfully pleased with themselves. Nothing to really say about this yet, so we talk about how Sarah Cox went to school with one of Rixondale's friends. Apparently she was very pretty. Nope absolutely undistinguished. They even walk slow. By the way, doesn't it look to everyone else that the stage is one giant oven grill? Lord Rixondale: 1/10 - "And that's only because with the slit in her dress you can see a surprising amount." Lady R: 3/10 Me: 1/10 Arm-wrestling! Disappointingly not with Chas and Dave. And now for everyone's corrupt favourite, Ukraine. 'Be My Guest', looks like they're reaching for the gay anthem. Eurovision tradition, absolutely terrible lyrics. "Do you think she owns a hotel and invites everyione this way?" - Lord Rixondale. "Be my friend," she asks, in a very needy way. And now the flouncy men are doing the sort of dancing we all applauded in the Gay Exchange adverts. It's all very cheery and completely irrational. And a gloriously lame computer generated dancy people backdrop. They do seem happy. "You've got to give props to the guys in the dress," - Lord rixondale. Lord R: 6/10 Lady R: 6/10 Me: 6/10 |

Bulgaria! She's scaring me. Lady R: "She IS like an older ugly Cardassian!" (I think that's what she said.) Lord Rixondale: "She's a robot!" Ahh! Too much flashing. Frankly terrible, although oddly compelling because of its entusiastic wrongness. What's wrong with the Wonder Woman girdle? "And wristbands!" - Lord R. Catherine wheels fail to add value for money. And a lame "I love you so much," from scary robo woman. Too late. Lord R: 5 Lady R: 3 Me: 4 |

Slovenia. "I Believe," an appropriately generic title. Lady Galadriel informs the backing dress sense. "So far, so Lord of the Rings." - Lord Rixondale. "Well, it's worthy," sighs Lord R. We all agree that she is pretty. "She has a whimsical fey look about her." "AH AAAAAH AAAAAAAAAH AAAH AAAAAAH AAAAAAAAAH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" And then Galadriel strokes her shoulder. Disappointingly not quite in a lesbian way. It's a bit ayran. "Domineering sexy woman!" cries the Lord. I concur. They stride masterfully. Song largely forgettable. Lord R: 6/10 - "And one point of that for backing singer cleavage." Lady R: 6/10 Me: 7/10 We reckon it's a contender. |
