ITS TEH EUROVISION BLOG
You join Dave and I live from the Cong, on the 13th song, Switzerland, only just back from IH. So the first 12 at the end. HOW EXCITING! [ps dont mention the stoke score]. Dave "can i say I lack optimism?". Er, no :p
So then. Switzerland. She has a large mouth and the guitarist is left handed. Dave "I appreciate how happy the bass player looks." The derderderder bit is nice.
14 is our own UKvia! "couple of sound problems in rehearsals" - they cant sing?! I like this song. And they've gone for the topless effect. THEY CAN'T SING! why are they singing live? Stupid move. Once again, a laughable UK performance. The I Can banners are rubbish. Who are the random backing dancers?! [singers?]
15, Moldova. HATS. Its like busted having a nightmare. Dave "I really like his voice / accent". [ps Daves keyboard is rubbish and i keep failing to type]. There seems to be the sugar plum fairy... on a unicycle. D "trumpets are win"
16. Germany, Lena again. Why? She's aged about 10 years since last year. Dave "lady gaga will want her backing dancers back". apparently we forgot to coooom our hair. Last year i said "DEUTSCHLAND!
She's too normal. The songs actually good.
"I think she learnt her accent from Hannah Montana" - Kitty
" [blog recycle ftw]. this year she is not so normal. But still boring. The music is boring. boring.
17 Romaniaaaaa. Sounds like "your song" according to dave [i just said this song sounds like...something]. Mum "reminds me of john barrowman". has all the right happy bouncy chords but still doesnt achieve anything. Dave "best trumpet players yet". I was too distracted by the fact I might obtain a cornet.
18 is Austria. Aww, she's written it herself. Dave "keep expecting her to break into A Moment Like This". Fair assessment. Although this is the sort of song I tend to end up liking. Dave and I both reluctantly admit we think its quite good. "loses a point for cheesy key change". I like the staging of it. As if she's 20 though. I've accomplished nothing.
19 Azerbaijin? I cant spell. [its an a second to last letter]. "they stole the start from missing by evanescence". Got a scary note in it. D "I really like it". me REALLY?! "its the best yet" Dave and having major disagreement. he calling it dancing, im calling it walking in a circle. oh, now theyre having a cutesy little moment. "you just hate it cos I like it"
20 Slovenia no. also what on earth is she wearing? "she looks like some batman villain". SHES 19? :(
21 Iceland. "beatles wannabes" me are you gonna hate this cos im gonna like it. They so cute! Love it. im bopping around. Everyone else cringing. "cute but no" are you just saying that for my benefit "frankly yes". no, love love love. best thing ever.
22 Spain. no. "i agree" its bloody karaoke night at los arcos, int it? were literally the last words out of my mouth. "good singer, everything else: oops. and why are there bagpipes?"
23 ukraines got talent? love it! sand painting! Stop singing i want to watch the sand. "i really like this song and think the sands epic". Yeah, i this should win. D "this or azer. this overall"
24 is serbia. "sounds like high school musical" NO IT DOESNT. ok, maybe it does sound like stick to the status quo. "theyre even doing the same dance! *actual giggling*". i feel dizzy. whats with the chicken dance. make it stopppp.
25, georgia. shes dressed for her shift in the coop isnt she? that cant be a note in tune cos i can sing it. how can this be rap and heavy metal? "georgian linkin park only bad".
Ok, so, back to the start.
1. FINLAND. da da dam, that sounds inspiring. "its david gray". oh i really like him "you think hes pretty dont you" yes. yay! well better than the last things. :D:D:D its just so cute. this to win!!!!!!!
2. Bosnia and herzego-where-now. meh. like the triangle. 1 to 100 multiplied by 2, so failing to get the 211 reference in.
3 Denmark. "like a more manly mika". its alright but its pretty ignorable
4, lithuania. deliver! you have always done me well in the past. not this time, however.
5 - hungary! i think im gonna like this. dave agrees. yeah, i could dance to this. mum not so much for the oooooooos. "the trouble is its all chorus" but its a good chorus
6 ireland = jedward! one beat in, dave, "ive seen enough". ed "this is terrible".
7, sweden, and the drinking begins. dave "start of rasputin by boney m" you will not be popular with me. dave "i like them, tehyre a bit dull but theyre alright. similar to blue but better". i think it sounds like what dave places as cheryl cole.
8 estonia what is this magic madnes???!? arghhh. who are these annoying people behind the buildings? whaa. d "i think theyre fun". 1273 - is this prime? nope 19 x 67
9 greeeeece. his voice is wrong! "i can see what theyre aiming for but theyve missed by 1000 miles"
10 russia. im scared. the dancing is particularly scary. it reminds me of shania twain.
11 france - apparently the favourite?! "heath ledger with bad hair". if i hear der, der and derderder i do not like a song! *yawn* but all agree its better than russia. "i like the background"
12 italy, our last one! actually its quite cute and musical isnt it? "yeah, its cool". and guess what. "i approve of the trumpet player". ... "well he's good". so's the pianist.
so Dave's top three: Ukraine, Azer, Estonia
my top three: finland!, iceland, ukraine :)
yayaya. and, we seem to have got points??!?!?!
