The appeal of Russia is obvious. Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Moldova and Belarus were voting in this final. Belarus...that’s a different story. A real fondness for cheese among juries and voters alike, perchance? Let’s hope they feel differently on Thursday, as we don’t need the Netherlands in the final on top of all the undeserving crap that already made it through!
Slovakia disappointed me too, but it was probably a little too esoteric a song for mass-consumption. Didn’t care for Malta’s song, but Thea nailed her performance, thus she was robbed. I blame Chicken Man.
More than one person I talked to had mentioned Latvia as a possible null points. Note to Aisha: if you can’t hit a particular note, singing louder does not help!
Oh, and I’m glad someone else likes the stage. So many folks have been complaining about it (Wah! Where’s my L.E.D.s?) but I find it refreshing. And yes, it’s so nice to have a host with some professionalism instead of a couple of bubblehead fashion models who act like giggly teenagers (basically: the norm for the past decade). Nadia is particularly good, she reminds me a bit of Lill Lindfors (not as witty and fabulous of course, but then, how could you be?).

Indeed; I'll be heading up to Chicago to get a room full of bears to watch Eurovision; it should be fun!
