Eurovision

Thought I'd record my opinions on the songs this year  :) But don't expect a full analysis lol :D 

Unfortunately Estonia didn't make it to the final this year :'( I'm a bit surprised because I kinda liked the song and thought it was decent enough...

Also I missed the first semi-final because exactly for that 2 hours on Tuesday I was on a flight and had to get the bad news later... And going in to this final I've only heard the songs of the second semi-final. So it's all (half) new for me too and I don't really have favourites, although I do like the Polish song (on Thursday I finally learned what the song is actually about - because Estonia has subtitles under songs :)) and am a bit sad that they changed half of it to English :((((( it sounds so much better in Polish!!!!

It's starting!!!! :)

Have they always introduced performers in the beginning like this?

The little clips before each country are very creative, me likey :)

Ukraine - A very eurovision song in my opinion, the hamster wheel was an interesting touch.

Oh no, my site crashed :(:(:(:(:( can't watch it anymore with Markos comments because it says that it's only viewable in Estonia!!!!! PORQEEEEEE?????? I love Markos sarcastic comments!!!! Now I have to find another site! The other Estonian commentators talk too much so i can't really hear the songs :( Official eurovision page it is then... now I have to install something to watch it -.- but it works

Belarus - well I've missed most of it but it's alright, a mediocre song in my opinion, nothing special...

Azerbaijan - wow their flag recreation was awesome! A nice beautiful ballad, maybe a bit too boring for my taste though...

meh no funny/interesting comments about the performers now :(

Iceland - Reminds me a bit of 80s eurovision style (not that I'd remember it) but has a nice beat from the start, not a winning song. Haha just found a french live-blog about it and it said: alert the fashion police: the teletubbies are amongst us :D and they already made a gif :D Oooh I love the frenchies :D

Norway - the pretty ballad, not boring :) I quite like it :)

Omg looking at the france 3 page blog and it has a question there: how many kilometres did the hamster-man run :D :D 2,4 or 7 :D

Romania - I recognized them!!!!! They've been here before :D Although I don't really understand the round piano - it would be awesome if someone would play it!!! Right now it looks like he just pretends to play it for two seconds or is he playing it for real????. meh song.

awww hell I don't have song subtitles any more as well :(:(:(:( Why can't I watch my beloved Estonian version in France??????

Armenia - He looks like he's in pain :/ Wow this got interesting now, pretty good :)

Montenegro - not as good as Norway but still a nice ballad, the skater is something different, is she skating on the led-screen stage? or is there actually a layer of ice?????

Poland :) - even the quality of the video suddenly went 100x better :D I like the traditional sounds mixed into this :) oh no the English version started :( I think if it was entirely in english I wouldn't like it :(

Greece - I quite like this as well but they should have more lyrics, the rap in the beginning isn't very good either. Rise up!!!! But it's still a fun song and I think I'd download it later... although too much Rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up, to the Greeks now any other english words? :D ;) I predict a high place for it. (Your flow isn't that freaky, I wish it was but it isn't). One of my favourites :)

Austria - one of the predicted winners, not a bad song but I think if she/he didn't have a beard then no one would notice this song, I think it's quite mediocre.

Germany - Is that food that they're making?!?! retro-style, pretty good though I think that it's boring...

Sweden - The other favourite of the show tonight. Pretty song, better than Wurst. Keeps getting better :) 

France - dude looks like Andy Samberg :D after a slight what is this moment it isn't that bad, then the chorus comes and wtf? moment is back :D But it's fun you can't deny that :D  c'est comme ci c'est comme ca. Greece is better :D I just think they're a bit similar style :D You need some fun songs in this contest :)

Russia - The girl on the right has crazy-eyes at times but not a bad song, oooh awing :) Crazy-eyes is back :D Who is that man? A creepy stalker? nope, just the guy to produce the huge fan... Can't remember the song anymore, so not very effective. The frenchie blog says that they share everything, even their hair + have a gif of them :D

Italy - mozzarella :) mmm :) The mic wasn't working when she shouted something come on europe???? Pretty good :) better than the last one :) The frenchie blog says under a gif where she makes the searching move that she's looking for the emigrated italians to vote for her :D 

Slovenia - this is one of my favourites I think and I hope it wins. Yeap the best so far :) Blog: Alerte Fashion Princesse : "Salagadou, la menchikabou, la Bibidi Bobidi Bou" :D :D :D :D

Finland - meh, nje rõba nje mjäsa - meaning nothing remarkable but not bad either.

Spain - better than their usual entries :) but I don't really care about this song at all

Switzerland - now this is a feel-good song :) me likey, especially the whistling :) to be honest I think it reminds me a bit of one of the estonian eurovision selection songs that was my favourite but didn't win this year: Traffic - Für Elise, same vibe I think

Hungary - meh, heard better ballads, half crazy-eyes/ in pain. Wow where'd he run??? :D don't think anyones ever ran that fast there :D :D Totally unexpected. Obviously the blog had a gif and comment about it too :D : he left the scene because he thought he'd won already :D

Malta - Another feel-good song, though not as fun and good than Switzerland

Denmark - Awww I love you too ;) This is really good :)

The Netherlands - A good song but not my cup of tea... :/

San Marino - they have been here for three years (after a looong break) and had the same singer each time, so did that singer decide three years ago that she wants to go to the eurovision and made the country participate again? Aren't there any other singers? :D Not a bad song, the chorus is good, the start of it reminds me of some Bond song (I maybe wrong). Talking? :D seems a bit odd...

UK - Awesome flag! This is also a good song :) I expect a high place. Unusual for the UK though :D They don't usually send good songs here. Power to the People! The frenchie blog has a tweet from the queen: Elizabeth Windsor @Queen_UK
If she doesn't win, she's not coming back in.



and that's it with the songs!!!!! Start voting (I never vote), I like the recap of all the songs!!! :) Wait has the voting started already???? Are they wasting precious time???? Oh voting starts now and finally my loved recap :)

Yeah Slovenia is my ultimate favourite this year! Second Switzerland, then Poland and Greece and UK I think... wait... didnät Turkey participate this year? :( There's definitely some familiar tune in San Marinos song, but I can't pinpoint the song...

Sweden but on  a better show last year introducing all the Swedish traditions and customs and meatballls!!! :D The hosts 12 song is pretty good though. What's with China? Are they loving the uerovision as much as the Australians???  Yeah my opinions exactly - he keeps going on and on about China, is he done already? :D Lol these aren't from China but from South-Korea :D :D Well this was a boring show during the voting :/ Sweden was defo better last year! The eurovision museum clip is witty!

Found this gem: :D True story bro


Is the flute player naked???? How deep is that water? A couple jumped in there and disappeared under the water? :S

The most interesting part of the evening, the results now :) I wonder if Ukraine gives Russia 12 points as ususal? Why did Greece give Russia 10 points????? Ooooooh Poland gave 0 points to Russia :D :D :D yay finally points to Slovenia! :) Is that boos I here for Russia from the audience???? Yeah that's not clapping :D :D :D Haha, tension in the air :D What did Malta say? We welcome you to Eurovision 2014 in November??? What?  Haha the hosts don't understand a thing the Frenchie is saying lol Why does everyone love the bearded-lady? I love the singing people :) Only 4 points from Ukraine to Russia. Why is Austria winning?? And Slovenia is second to last?????? :( But hey, at least Austrias song isn't the worst one :P

Ttyl ;)
Jazzz...
