Russia won, definitely shouldn’t have.

Sweden should have won. Latvia were good, Armenia were good, Greece female was *ultra* cute, Russia sucked.

However the “party” i said would happen did… i count 8 people here in the house, lol.

Anyway… back to drinking beer since i’m now down £10 and the night is still young. Damn Russia.

Thought it deserved it’s own post, lol… but after hearing the Swedish entry i seem to have changed my mind, lol, and i really think this song has a pretty good chance of winning.

Am i tempted to put my money where my mouth is this year (especially considering i’ve never successfully backed a song that’s won before, lol)… i think i am, i think Sweden will win.

Latvia’s entry is still entertaining though (much like Ukraine’s last year), it however won’t win.

Just some first impressions on this year’s songs (Latvia to win):

France – Following from last year’s good entry, they’re back to their standard terrible songs again.

Germany – Ok-ish… i guess.

Spain – Uhh… wtf… utter utter shite.

UK – Ok-ish… again won’t win.

Andorra – Pretty good song, i like it, hopefully they can get past the semi-final.

Armenia – Interesting, not bad, better than the “ok-ish” ones. Standard Eurovision fare, i think it may grow on me with more listens.

Azerbaijan – ………….. (i don’t think there are words to describe how badly sung this song is, and since when were they allowed in Eurovision o.o)

Belgium – Well you can imagine driving through the hills with a glass of wine on the way to a picnic in Belgium with this on the radio, maybe some cheese and biscuits too. Won’t win, but oh well, lol.

Bosnia & Herzegovina – Boring until the song gets going for about 20 seconds, but too much boring.

Estonia – They’ve obviously recruited a couple of guys from the nearest pub. I bet they’re good at darts.

Finland – Yeah it’s not gonna work twice Finland, the song’s pretty crap.

Greece – A standard Greek Eurovision entry. Ok-ish, will probably get a few votes.

Ireland – lol great, i could see myself DDR’ing that, great protest song too, maybe there’ll be crazy people that would vote for it. Great line… “we’re sorry for riverdance” lol (though i probably would start burning whole villages if it won).

Israel – Boring.

Moldova – Boring. Should probably stick to singing in the corner of wine bars.

Montenegro – Not bad, better than the ok-ish songs.

Netherlands – Good singing voice. Not bad song. I can see this picking up a few points.

Norway – Hmm, average.

Poland – Boring again sounds like it should be a church song (man, where are all the happy upbeat songs this year).

Romania – *sigh* another boring song.

Russia – …another boring song.

Slovenia – That’s more like it, lol… and the chorus sounds vaguely like the evangelion opening (sort of, lol), yeah i quite like it, hope it does well (as in at least gets to the final, lol)!

Albania – Boring.

Belarus – Looks like someone singing karaoke, but hey at least the song isn’t boring. Better than the ok-ish songs.

Bulgaria – …interesting… could do with some more lyrics though, lol, again, at least it’s not boring.

Croatia – The old guy at the beginning seemed entertaining, he looks like he’d enjoy life in Japan, lol. As for the song… ok-ish.

Cyprus – Ok-ish. Standard Eurovision fare.

Czech Republic – Not very good.

Denmark – Not bad, upbeat and happy, seems to have stolen lyrics from old english/american songs though, lol.

FYR Macedonia – Starts off with some whining, continues with some karaoke that’s worse than i’ve heard in the average British pub. Terrible.

Georgia – Ok-ish standard Eurovision song.

Hungary – No. Sounds like it should be in a Disney film.

Iceland – Not bad, better than the ok-ish songs.

Latvia – Haha… YES!!! These guys should win!!!!!! DEFINITELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lithuania – Boring again. Why would i want to spend hours watching depressing songs on TV, go away.

Malta – Looks entertaining, upbeat, like it!

Portugal – Hmm, no.

Switzerland – Yet another boring song.

Turkey – Sounds different for Turkey, not bad.

Ukraine – Not bad, upbeat once it gets going.

Haven’t heard San Marino, Sweden, or Serbia yet, so i’ll probably leave a comment on this post once i’ve listened to those.

But yeah LATVIA TO WIN!!

Andorra 2nd, Slovenia 3rd.

I shall be updating this page during the final with a panel of people (me, Harripanda, and Blister)’s votes on each of the songs (out of 100), at the end their final position will be totalled up and compared with the actual result. Hmm, this may fail entirely, but what the hell, might as well give it a go. Links to the songs if you click on them.
