So, it's that time of year again and the nation either flees in terror or stays glued to its screens for the next few days: it's Eurovision and it's MASSIVE this year! Here's my rundown of Semi-Final 1:
Qualifiers:
Azerbaijan: Not bad, nice use of flame curtain
Finland: Alright, a bit odd
Georgia: Awesome
Greece: Bloody terrible, although nice use of flame jets
Hungary: Pretty good
Iceland: I liked this, it was different
Lithuania: Alright
Russia: I liked this, it was very 80s boy bad. And since when did Russia enter a black guy?!
Serbia: I liked this, it was fun!
Switzerland: Nothing special
Non-qualifiers:
Albania: Alright
Armenia: Hilarious :D Completely silly, without meaning to be
Croatia: I really liked this!
Malta: Completely forgettable
Norway: Nothing special
Poland: Pretty good
Portugal: Absolutely awful, even for a comedy act
San Marino: Nothing special
Turkey: Bloody awful
I'm mostly annoyed Croatia and Roland didn't get through. Other than that, it was alright!
Tune in on Friday for my run-down of Thursday's Semi-Final 2, featuring Jedward for Ireland and Dana International for Israel.
Sahha ohrain.
