first rehearsal. This is creating quite a stir when it comes on, feeling on the ground here is that Germany have more than a good
chance to win this year with Texas Lightning. I have to agree with this sentiment and will have an each way bet with the bookies,
Again the costumes were unchanged and are certain to now be worn on the big night.


Now onto Denmark. Almost another country in white, this time white and ivory.

Two styles that are considered American in sound one after the other. The fears that they may take votes away
from each other are possible but I think Germany is a lot stronger . Denmark will suffer as a result. This is a decent performance
but isnt going to set the heather on fire. A pity as I love Denmark and everything Danish as do some friends.

Now finally on this posting we move to Romania, the last on before the dinner break and the UK.

Romania is pure Italian Euro Disco. Lots of energy, lots of great vocal and a few high notes which are
virtually faultless. The columns and the head spin are still in there. I really love this song and loved
the performance overall. The fact we dont know what on before or after in the Final yet means I would have
to reserve judgement on its overall chances to win. But it could you know and justify it being one of the fan favourites.

"American"?
I love these descriptions that call Germany and Denmark "American-sounding." 20, 30 years ago maybe, but now both these songs would be considered over-the-top for radio here. (Though I've noticed the over-the-top nature makes it fit in with Eurovision!) I could see Estonia, Finland, and the all-English version of Macedonia's song getting radio play here possibly, but not Germany and Denmark.Thank you for all your work on this blog, y'all.

I guess that's why we chose her.
Not that we aren't all ashamed, because it was mainly all of the preteen girls, and soccer moms who enjoyed her show.
She was a sucky contestant.
