My favourites on the night:
- Israel
- Greece
- Cyprus
- Ireland
- Romania
So 5/6 got through. I’m disappointed Israel didn’t get through but I realise with Israel’s politics, they need a stellar song and performance to get votes. I’m surprised Greece went for such a catchy song considering they really cannot afford to win but Greece could send a goat and still get into the final because everyone love Greece at Eurovision for some reason.
There were lots of terrible songs which I thankfully cannot remember except for Albania(?) that warbling lady with the cone hair who just sang the same damn note for 3 minutes. I wanted to shoot myself.
Basically my memory of the show is clouded by the Russian grandmothers who are greatest thing to grace Eurovision since whatever I was obsessed with last year. I can see them walking with the trophy on Saturday.
Oh and Jedward were….Jedward which is why I secretly love them. I would be quite happy for Ireland to send them every year.
