EUROVISION 2012

That title was a warning!!!
If you have NOT watched Eurovision 2012 yet then please do not read any further!!!




So ladies and gentlemen what a night! What a Show!
Azerbaijan hosted the competition in Baku.
Great Britain started the ball rolling with Englebert Humperdink. Oh dear, and where did we finish? Second to last, poor old Norway at the bottom (although I thought there's was pretty good!)


Who were my favourites?
Russia - Singing grannies, and i'm so so pleased they came second, well deserved!
Iceland - Never Forget - Possibly the best song of the night, deserved to do so much better than they did!
Norway - Just failed
Jedward - Well done boys a valliant effort. Not as good as last year, the novelty has worn off!!


My shock/ memorable moments?
ALBANIA - Just wtf????? Its a singing competition isn't it? NOT shouting! Jesus christ woman!
Israel - quite catchy, enjoyed the song
Moldova - The woman dancing in the pink tutu......too much red bull? 
I liked the Greek entry, typical eurovision pop!


And LORDI doing the votes from Finland! An added bonus!


Also well done to Graham Norton on his flawless commentary, always makes us chuckle!


And we have our winner!
Euphoria - Sweden. When I first heard it in the semi-finals I knew it had to do well and I believed it would win. A worthy winner. That sort of sound is very in (even if the dance moves aren't!)

Eurovision 2012

Okay so i may be 2 months too early, but I am SO excited about Eurovision 2012!!!






I've been on the website and listened to most of the songs already, I don't usually do this, as I like it to be a surprise, but I thought I would be different.


My family always has a bit of a party during the evening. We write comments on each song, sing along, eat traditional food. What do they eat in Azerbaijan????? LOL


So, I HAVE CHOSEN MY WINNER ALREADY! Russia. If they don't win, it's a joke. When I first heard the song, I thought, oh dear lord. But actually, it's annoyingly catchy. So out of tune, key, note, everything, YET GREAT. If you haven't heard it, here is the link.

I've heard our entry is supposed to be a favourite. I like the song....but we never win, and really we need to go into the competition knowing that!


My other favourites are:
Italy - i've been told noone likes them, so they won't win.
Iceland - Could do well


I can't wait!!!!
