Eurovision review - part two.

No Comments »

You've just seen part one of our Eurovision review, now here's part two. Enjoy.

Italy: MUCH BETTER! They may have changed the song about three times but it's still better than last year's crap jazz song! We're still reeling that poor little Eric Saade came third with a song that was MUCH better than that! Can they go one better and win it this year though? Only time will tell...
Latvia: We much prefer the newer version of this song though we're still not entirely sure why she's doing a bit of random dancing at Riga Airport. Anyone got any idea?
Lithuania: Dull, dull, dull, dull, DULL! NEXT!
Malta: Catchy tune but he's no Fabrizio Faniello so we sense there may be disappointment for the tiny little Mediterranean island yet again.
Moldova: Is this Colin Farrell on a bad day? Still, this song is a million times better than last year's shout-fest, so we can probably forgive him for that!
Montenegro: What, in the name of absolute hell, is THIS?! It's probably the worst song of the lot this year! Was there any point in them even coming back?! Come back, Poland, all is forgiven!
Netherlands: If there's any justice, this song WILL make it into the final! We'll forgive you for sending Jedward again, people of Europe and beyond, if you send Joan Franka to the final! Poor Holland haven't been there for eight years and, even though Joan wears a rather ridiculous Indian outfit, it's a brilliant song!
Norway: Speaking of Eric Saade, he's back, only this time in Norwegian form! Hope our Norwegian neighbours make it though - we're still shocking that Stella Mwangi was robbed last year!
Portugal: This is SO much better than their crap X Factor rejects from last year! What on EARTH were they all about anyway?!
Romania: Very tap-a-longa! And in about four different languages too! LOVE IT!
Russia: We're guessing Russia don't want to win Eurovision again any time soon (see also Ireland)?! Sorry, grannies, but your song IS a bit naff! It'll probably still qualify though - when was the last time Europe/the juries let Mother Russia down?!
San Marino: Well done for getting the word 'cyber-sex' past the censors. Commiserations on everything else. See you in the semis.
Serbia: OOH! A cute Serbian that isn't a tennis player! Good song too!
Slovakia: Did someone lose the memo that Lordi were a one-off and that heavy metal fans don't really watch Eurovision? Still, we like this in a weird sort-of way and, if the dude actually cuts his hair, he MIGHT be a bit of a cutie, so it's not all bad!
Slovenia: What's with the weird head-dress things? Nice song though.
Spain: This one's a cracker and we LOVE IT! Possibly one of our top five this year - and neither of us speaks Spanish! VAMOS PASTORA!
Sweden: EUPHORINESS FRÅN SVERIGE! ÄLSKER DET! (Stockholm 2013, anyone?!)
Switzerland: "Sweem against zee strim folloween your wowdizt drim?" More like the worst ever pronunciation of English we've ever heard! Where's the fit bass player from last year when you need him?!
Turkey: Sorry, Can, but you look and sound like a total dog. No offence.
Ukraine: At least the Ukraine didn't cheat again this year but, sadly for them, the song is rather repetitive (like Greece) and just a little bit dreadful!
United Kingdom: And, finally, the United Kingdom. Whilst we like the song, we can't help but think that, yet again, they won't do so well - not whilst the Hump has to sing from first place in the final, anyway. Still, he'll be first to the backstage bar, so that's a bonus!

AND THAT'S THE WRAP!

Eurovision review - part one.

No Comments »

Hey guys! After a few months of blogging the square root of sod all, we're back with our review of this year's Eurovision Song Contest entries. It's a joint effort this time, though we did have the help of a Twitter friend for this.

Enjoy.

Albania: Someone call the Albanian rozzers - Rona's screeching her way through a song and it sounds like she's murdering a cat! NEXT!
Austria: The song (if you can even CALL it that) certainly lives up to the band's name - it's AWFUL! Well done for getting 'Trackshittaz' past the censors. You said it, lads, not us.
Azerbaijan: We can't help but think that Azerbaijan won't be hosting Eurovision for the second year in a row next year. Still, in the short space of time they had to build the venue in the first place, we can't say we blame them. Good effort though.
Belarus: Brilliant song and their lead singer's not bad either! OOF!
Belgium: No, Iris, we wouldn't, but at least the music and instruments are back!
Bosnia-Herzegovina: This is a bit better than last year's song but not much. We still have no idea what the guy in the dressing gown was singing about...
Bulgaria: An up-tempo techno disaster that will probably struggle in the semis. Sorry Bulgaria!
Croatia: If we were Nina Badrić, we wouldn't make a weekend out of it. The song is a bit dull and boring to be fair.
Cyprus: Is that Liv Tyler singing for Cyprus? No, it's Ivi Adamou! Good song though, even if a little repetitive in places, and an almost-certain qualifier.
Denmark: SOLUNAAAAAA! Excellent song and we're hoping to make the final again this year!
Estonia: URGH! Sorry, Ott but, not only does your name sound like a country, your song is BORING! NEXT!
Finland: We actually like this one even though one of us doesn't have a clue what she's singing about (only one of us speaks Swedish). Not sure it'll make the final this year however but, then, we'll probably be too drunk to care anyway!
France: Will dual-language work for the French? It's not bad but it's not good either so Eurovision probably won't be held in Paris any time soon.
FYR Macedonia: Gravelly-voiced rock song? We think not. See you in the semis.
Georgia: A joker and a walker? Yes, you are with this rather rubbish song, and it's not much better than last year's shoutathon! Don't expect qualification this year, Georgia!
Germany: OOF! A bit of German goodness and he can sing as well! LOVE IT!
Greece: Repetitive and dreadful, a bit like the Ukraine, but at least it's better than last year's tuneless shit!
Hungary: Were Savage Garden unavailable? Still, we like Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones, so it's not all bad - and this song isn't too bad either!
Iceland: JÓNSI IS BACK! And he has a good song too! Not sure it'll win though - there's far too much competition at the top again this year.
Ireland: We had rather enough of these two annoying clowns last year, thank you very much! Our ears can't take any more of them! GET OFF THE STAGE! NEXT!
Israel: Quick, someone call Dana International, this song's SHIT!

Part two coming up...
