..about last night

Nothing much to say, really.

The Balkan Mafia ensured that we got a screaming old witch and someone with the stage presence of a plank in the place of a couple of decent songs.

Today I couldn't really be bothered - so I stayed in bed...

    Sorry to say that is the risk of modern Eurovision. Hope you will be up to blogging before the final to keep us right.

Semi 1 predictions

OK folks, the time has come to make some predictions for Semi Final 1, which takes place this evening (8pm BBC3 - for those who want to join in with all the fun!).

There are some obvious qualifiers tonight in the shape of Ukraine, Serbia and Sweden. I also think Tooji's place in the final for Norway is assured, after some superb rehearsals.  His song stands out as a masterpiece of modern, fresh pop in a ballad-heavy semi. I was indifferent to Turkey's song before I came out here, but Can's performance (you pronounce it "Djan", by the way) is quirky and fun, and I've changed my mind about it.  This should qualify, and pretty much needs...
