lexiepiper Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Russia's was horrendous! I agree bring the Orc's back
Inver Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Hoorah....something to dance along to:lol: Well done Azerbaijan
lexiepiper Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Yeah that one wasn't too bad, Bos&Herz are okay too, but the lyrics are a bit odd lol
Kell Posted May 16, 2009 Author Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) My thoughts so far: Opening with Cirque de Soleil - fantastic Last year's winner running through walls inconveniently placed on a travellator - bizarre Loving the big screens set-up on stage - very high-tech! Entrants: Lithuania - very good performance with an unusual song. Good start to the comp. Israel - semi-decent performance, but nothing special. Only worth noting because sung by an Israeli Arab and an Israeli Jew France - Very Edith Piaf Sweden - Hideous opera nonesense Croatia - Sang about feminine hygeine products (Beautiful Tena ) Portugal - Not impressed Iceland - Very strong performance Greece - My hot tip to win the whole shebang (I've actually put money on it!) and he's damned sexy to boot! And he's using the fabulous travellator to great effect! Armenia - Part Armenian and part English. Tight performance from beautiful sisters in gorgeous costumes with lovely Rapunzel hair. I have money on this one finishing top 3. Russia - Terrible on every level. A truly awful song and a dire performance by billionaire's daughter wearing a shower curtain. Clever aging effect on the screens though. Russia obviously can't afford to win twicein a row judging by this entry! Azerbaijan - Decent song but below-average performance. She did OK, but he was well below par ni a bizarre reversal of how they did in the semi final. Bosnia & Herzegovina - Depressing rendition of a dire dirge. Makes me want to slash my wrists listening to this one! Surprised this one got into the final to be honest. Isn't Graham doing well with his commentary though?! We want the heavy metal rock band that looked like Orcs back. That would be the 2006 winners for Finland - Lordi. They were awesome! Edited May 16, 2009 by Kell
Inver Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) Yip Graham is a hoot Kell....we kinda agree with lots of your comments. Andy like the trumpet in the Moldova one (cause he played it) our highest score so far going to Iceland with a 7. Malta wifie has a powerful voice...not bad that one. Edited May 16, 2009 by Inver

Kell Posted May 16, 2009 Author Posted May 16, 2009 Moldova - What's with the Mariachi band backing track? And the bizarre River Dance stuff? Catchy tune and energetic performance though. Diggin' the purple suede boots - where can I get some?
lexiepiper Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 I'm really liking Malta's, she's got a lovely voice
Inver Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 I'm really liking Malta's, she's got a lovely voice Malta wifie has a powerful voice...not bad that one agree there lexie.
lexiepiper Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Kinda a little naughty that they keep putting the same person into Eurovision because they know she'll do well though, I'm surprised there aren't rules against that
Kell Posted May 16, 2009 Author Posted May 16, 2009 Malta - Nice voice, simple rendition, but the song isn't all that impressive - very middle-of-the-road and unadventurous. And the ending was a direct steal from the Bonanza theme tune! Estonia - Good performance, but not much to it. Tuneful and a lovely voice, but the song didn't really go anywhere and had a weak finish.
lexiepiper Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Ohhh myyyy, Denmark is a cutie! I like the song, and he sounds a lot like Ronan Keating
Lucybird Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 surprisingly am quite like Graham, although he's npt a patch on Terry Wogan. Wonder what made Ronan Keating decide to write an entry for Denmark?
Kell Posted May 16, 2009 Author Posted May 16, 2009 Denmark - Penned by Ronan Keating and might as well have been sung by him. Standard Boyzone fare. Uninspiring.
Inver Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Denmark....Ronan Keating look a like singing a Ronan Keating written song...is he his cousin!! Cute...yes we liked that one...up there with Iceland.
Inver Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) surprisingly am quite like Graham, although he's npt a patch on Terry Wogan. Wonder what made Ronan Keating decide to write an entry for Denmark? Hiya Lucy..... Oh Oh....it's Chicco time again. nice trousers....lol.....nice pecs..... the guy with the hat gets a 5...but kiss kiss....go home Edited May 16, 2009 by Inver
lexiepiper Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 I liked it too Inver, probably my favourite so far I'm surprised at Dita Von Teese being there, sadly it's not going to sway me to vote for the song
Kell Posted May 16, 2009 Author Posted May 16, 2009 Germany - A little bit swing and with the seductive Dita Von Tease slowly losing clothes throughout the performance. Great stuff!
Lucybird Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 I actually quite like it...it's very stereotypical Eurovision....
lexiepiper Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 I thought Germany was terrible as are Turkey, but atleast Turkey have cool outfits
Kell Posted May 16, 2009 Author Posted May 16, 2009 Turkey - This is the other one I put money on finishing top 3, but the performance on the night was just a spot off. Wish I'd put the money on Ukraine or Albania instead.
Inver Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 I actually quite like it...it's very stereotypical Eurovision.... lol....its Chicco time Lucy. But Graham said it was pants...do you think he meant the guys trousers...lol. Belly dancing shoogly bits now....good beat though.....male dancer nae bad either....bit ordinary but dancy.
lexiepiper Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 That guy in blue is creeping me out with no eye or mouth holes haha :/
Lucybird Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 I don't think I could sing with a glittery mannequin dancing behind me...scary!
Kell Posted May 16, 2009 Author Posted May 16, 2009 Albania - Wearing a short merangue and dancing with a green gimp and two dwarves wearing Joker make-up. Wind machine ahoy! Catchy tune and well performed.
