liking the unplayed instrument with THREE brass bells sticking out of big brass bell. That can't be real, surely?

It's the pro musician's trick of storing multiple vuvuzelas in a Wangerian Tuba.

Denmark - rhyming 'stranger' with 'stranger', good job.

Denmark- she is both the Captain and Tenille (thanks for that one, Molly)

Greece definitely dont want to win this year.
― Guilty_Boksen, Saturday, 26 May 2012 20:14 (eleven years ago) link
I think that Greece's song is going to do well, even if they don't want it to actually win.

It's the closest we have to an obvious Shakira clone this year.

I actually thought she was miming for about the first two bars, then she hit that flat note and has been pitchy ever since. </randyjackson>

This reminds me of the Greek entry from the year their stage routine included a giant white neon stapler.

er, yes, this could really win...Germans en masse to vote for it.

"University of Surrey in London" ffs Norton, it's in Guildford.

ideas on how could they host? Def open air, for a start...taking right back to classical basics. xp

greece winning would be hilarious

if Greece wins Cyprus will host i think

Sweden sounds much better than the semi-finals.

I am loving Sweden cos I have always wanted Bats for Lashes to do a straight dance track.

A few times in the past, countries have won and then couldn't afford to host. Luxembourg won in 1973 (for the second year running?) and the 1974 contest was hosted in the UK.
― Radical Jedward (snoball), Saturday, 26 May 2012 20:21 (eleven years ago) link
I actually don't like this Swedish one.

Spain's singer looks constipated and I'm not surprised. "No pressure, but don't win, OK?"

Germany's song has 'Jamie Cullum joint' written all over it.
― Radical Jedward (snoball), Saturday, 26 May 2012 20:32 (eleven years ago) link
Agreed. Germany is diabolical.
― Guilty_Boksen, Saturday, 26 May 2012 20:33 (eleven years ago) link
I quite liked Spain. Germany is pretty awful though, like a cheap version of The Script. Jamie Cullum you say?
― I must be old, I recognise nobody in ITV2 idents (aldo), Saturday, 26 May 2012 20:33 (eleven years ago) link
Fun fact: you can pretty much sing the chorus of last year's winner on top of this German one

xp he's co-writer
― Radical Jedward (snoball), Saturday, 26 May 2012 20:33 (eleven years ago) link
This performance would be better if he a) stopped grinning, and b) actually stands still while singing the line 'standing still'.

Those Southern Europeans must've have used all their idle time to bring it this year: Cyprus-Greece-Malta to co-host it next year.

Macedonia for the win.

Nah, Spain's power ballad was better.

See, it's not as much fun now that they're borderline competent. Except for the bizarre "and the way I'm rubbing her now" line.
