Jelly Baby Queen of Baku!

Here's the fabulous Gaitana and her jelly babies...


One of the friendliest, most charming and genuine people here.  She spent hours last night after her press conference posing for photos with the young kids who volunteer here, and she laughed and smiled through the whole thing.  A true ambassador for Ukraine!


Gaitana explained that her mother is Ukrainian and her father originally came from the Congo. Apparently, just after she was selected one of the Ukraine's prominent politicians said that it was "an abomination not to have someone of full national extraction representing Ukraine"! What a complete bastard!  If any of our politicians in the UK had come out with such racist crap then they would be booted out swiftly.  Apparently Giatana was reduced to tears after hearing that - how awful!  However, she was certainly shown LOADS of love from the assembled press and volunteers last night.

We officially LOVE Gaitana!

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!
