Jedward in full swing
This is the full press conference from yesterday - one of the funniest things I've ever seen in 22 years of coming to the Contest as a journalist! Enjoy.
Semi 1 - Great result!!!
It wasn't just Jedward who were ecstatic with last night's Semi 1 results! 9 of the 10 I predicted got through, and the one I got wrong was Austria, with the fabulous Hungarian song going through instead (and that was one of my faves anyway). Apparently Romania had huge problems hearing their track in their in-ear monitors, so they were relieved to get through. They drew to sing in 14th position. We got some interesting insider info via some delegations at the after party (which finished at 6am this morning!!!). Apparently the Icelandic 12 didn't go to Denmark as expected, but to Cyprus! Fab performance from Ivi, and I see this going Top 5 on Saturday. We also heard that the Cypriot 12 did not go to Cypriot singer Eleftheria, who is singing for Greece, but to Albania, and the amazing Rona, who delivered a fantastic performance which had the audience on it's feet. But it was Gorgeous Pasha from Moldova who had the best luck of the night
Thank goodness I didn't grow up with them - they didn't stop for 26 mins! What a laugh they are though and so unfazed by fame. Good luck to them!
