In The Club

So Euroclub opened last night.  A vast, cavernous nightclub, fabulously kitted out to serve all of the delegates, press, fans and other hangers-on for their nocturnal activities over the next two weeks.

Despite there not being too many folk there last night the UK press contingent was out in force, and made sure that the dance floor was active throughout the whole evening.  Fab DJ Ohrmeister (Konstantin) from Germany was on the decks, and took our requests all evening - so imagine my complete delight when "Bem Bom" was played 5 minutes after we walked in!


Look at this old queen!...

We enjoyed Sanna Neilsen, Kati Wolf, Sean Banan, Mekado, Indiana Joan and a plethora of other Euro faves until nearly 3am.  The beer isn't free (yet) but we're working on that...

We were joined on the dance floor by around 20 of the young Azeri volunteers who work at the contest, and they were having a whale of a time despite obviously not having a clue what they were dancing too.  The place went wild when Safura, the Azeri entrant from two years ago, joined the volunteers on the dancefloor for a bit of a boogie, and then mimed her way through the full routine of her own song when it was played.  Not heard that one for nearly two years, and it sounded so much better here!


A great opening night, and a fab venue.  Well done Azerbaijan - finally something is working as it should!

    That's a dreadful picture of some old queen. The blouse loses all its shape over that black cummerbund affair. You and Betty look fab.

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

Well, I love all their sugar, and those nice blue cocktails that they were serving at the party they held last night at any rate. Here's the fab girlies from Serbia.  I just LOVE  Sara's smile (the one next to me). Me and Juha looking like a Finnish Comedy double-act!  With the lovely Jody and Monty!
