Okay okay okay I swear I'm done after this. XD I swear. Really.
There was some Real Life drama, but I'm far more interested in the campy music, personally. So here we go!
Starting off the FINALS with
Lithuania, who still has a nice jawline and still has a rocking fedora and sets his hand on fire. I like the back piano; otherwise am fairly unimpressed here. Next is
Israel, who...has a city in her hair? And is much more interesting live. But still not good enough to keep my interest, and whoa, off-key is painful.
And okay, the cities in the hair is apparently normal,
France has it too.
Their lady is quite alone on a very large stage in heels that make my feet hurt by looking at them. Other than this, I am not properly entranced. Again, like the back piano, though. She also seems to be trying to do a power stance, which must be hard in that dress.
I still love
Sweden who does manage the power stance and is fairly incredibly adorable. And is incredibly Scandinavian looking. She reminds me of my cousin. The sound quality in the video is kind of bad, but still.
Croatia's lead singer makes me fear for my virginity. That is all.
Portugal had me endeared within the first ten seconds because of their background. And are adorable with their swaying and accordians and big grins and that background. Also I want one of those skirts.
Iceland has some nice cellos, but it isn't enough to make it not boring. Sorry, Iceland. I do like the dress, though. Ruffles!
OMG GREECE. Still fantastic win and dear lord the dancing the leaping and the conveyor belt and he has lost control of his pelvis the key change and liiights. Basically. YES.
Armenia comes in with gouts of flame and a lot of smoke machines. And catchy. Lots of catchy. And dresses I mostly want the sleeves of. And the backup dancers are spiffy with very nice legs.
...ow. Russia. I do not want that many faces, either.
--hi
Azerbaijan! Your backup dangers are crazy flexible (seriously, what is that leg doing there?), your song is crazy catchy, your lead singers dress is questionable. I think I like you.
I also like
Bosnia-Herzegovina more than I probably should. But seriously, that stage is huge. Compensating, Russia? Lovin' the uniforms, though, all the way.
...also is it just me or does the guy to the singer's left look like Sean Bean-Boromir?
Moldova I love you. And your big grin and your dancing and awww, can I just squish you? The backup male dancers may be my favorite part, though they all seem so excited. XD
You bore me,
Malta. :(
Oooh, look at
Estonia. Still pretty and stringed up and rocking. Me = fan.
Denmark, however, I am less than impressed by. Whatever, Denmark. You fail to do anything for me.
And
Germany has officially gained my undying love and respect just for their song. I don't know what's the best part. But the silver pants would have to be up there. Because they are silver pants. Though the backup girls' outfits are pretty fine too. And there is tap dancing, and magically unbuttoning shirt, Dita Von Teese and gouts of sparks. So yes. Germany, you are winnar.
More flames from
Turkey with fits with what a hot hot babe she is in her not quite clothes. However, the guy in not-quite-clothes is even better.
Albania, I don't know what to do with you. Especially your glittery teal swamp monster. It's catchy, though. I want the song. Still - teal swamp monster. Distracting. And I'm pretty sure the hair of these women gets bigger with every song.
Okay,
Ukraine, I still don't know what you're going for with the semi-burlesque dancing and hamster wheel sets and men in Trojan helmets and very little else. But I'm just going to go with it. I don't know what else one does with something this...fabulous?
And okay, I really like the gouts of flame. Really really.
The
U.K. may have gone a little overboard in trying to compensate for what has apparently been mass fail in the past, but it makes me kind of happy to see Andrew Lloyd Webbers strangely froglike face. (The Innsmouth Look, anyone?) I don't particularly like the song itself, though.
Finland's lady with a city in her hair has...blue hair, for some reason. Other than that, there is a lot of fire and incredibly white rap. I like your previous entries better, Finland. :|
Spain, you sparkle like a sparkling thing and I love you for it.
BUT BUT BUT.
BUT.
NORWAY.
NORWAAAAAAAAAAAAY. YOU ARE SO ADORABLE. ADOOOOORABLE AND I WANT TO CUDDLE YOU AND CLAIRE I TOTALLY SHIP HIM/SWEDEN AND HIS VEST AND HIS VIOLIN AND EALDKJFSLKDJFLSKJDFLKSJDFLK. AND HIS EXPRESSIONS. AND THE DANCERS.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT? AND THE SPARKS. AND LSKDJLFSKJD YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU.
LOOK AT HIS FACE. LOOK. AT. HIS. FACE. NORWAY PRIDE, WOOOOO!
Can someone tell me where to find all this music? XD
Bweeeeheehee.
In short? I am in love. With the sparkles, and the dancing, and ALEXANDER RYBAK OMG, and eeeeeeeee. :D :D :D :D
