Ok, so my last post before the post-mortem tomorrow!
I really want Charlotte Perrelli to win for Sweden more than anyone else. I’d love to go to Sweden next year! Chatting to Brian, a friend and scholar of Karen’s from Ireland, he had to give directions to a backing singer with Charlotte (the blond one I think) as she had got lost – how funny is that! This singer was saying to him that she knows that she’s not going to win, that’s she’s very happy, and that a top 5 finish would be great. I think that everyone is saying that today – the Contest is too competitive. However, to complete my top 10, I’d like to see these songs well placed:
- Iceland
- Bosnia and Herzegovina
- Israel
- Norway
- Greece
- Armenia
- Turkey
- Ukraine
- Albania
And a big shout-out to ‘my brother from another mother’, Andy Abraham, and as Terry Wogan would say ‘let’s cheer him on with word and gesture…’

so far ive liked:
UK – technically the best song and quite a good performance from AA
Bosnia – in a weird way
Israel – was ok
Iceland – need I say more….
Turkey – sounded like Muse, I like Muse
Portugal – she nailed it
Sweden – lasers aplenty
Denmark – it was fun
Ukraine – my new fave! Sorry Sweden
France – it was divine
Azerbaijan – holy hell how high did he get???
Greece – only cos she was hot, the song was pretty dire.
(If Russia wins with that PoS i’m not watching next year)
Norway – well sung but not quite good enough for me.
Best quote from Wogan so far – (On Spain’s and Latvia’s entry – you can’t ridicule the ridiculous)
I can see why you liked the Icelandic entry. He was a fellow waistcoat wearer.
We’ve just opened a bottle of very cold white wine! Hopefully Ro will do well, but Sweden is fab!
