Aw Gawd, watch me liveblog or something

Lithuania: Nice hat.

Israel: Needs moar yuri. Won't comment on the sentiment as I know no Hebrew.

France: om det var nödvendigt *too busy staring at her sunken eyes* well, I really like the music of this one. And also that little strut in the end.

Sweden: Was it just me or was she way better at home? But opera to disco beats is always a winner ( Read more... )

i also like music

I guess the Moldovan title is just as unintentional funny in Norwegian as it is in Swedish. And it doesn't get better when the local newspaper commentary for that one was "it will be this year's hit in kindergarten". Uh, I sort of hope not. I still wonder if the music critic reflected over the language aspect or not when she wrote that.

All in all, I (as usual) found this years songs to be rather dull. No real extremes. The Norwegian boy scares me in some undefined way, and regarding my motherland's, I too suffer from the national radio exhaustion syndrome.

I'm assuming the kids won't go around remembering the titles, but that could be an exception. And I think he's completely right.

I just can't understand why Sweden isn't doing better. She didn't sing that badly.

And I'd say that they probably won't stop to play a certain song on Norwegian radio anytime soon.

No, maybe not that badly, but she's not a cute Norwegian boy.

So, so glad I'm not at home.

Ooops, I missed this due to being outside of the Eurozone.

But the Moldovan song title is indeed humourous (the word "hora" unfortunately exists in Japanese as well) and I had to listen to the Norwegian song as it won... and I'm not that impressed at all? It was OK but I didn't find the guy THAT cute, more annoying and fake. Oh well.

I'd say that the whole charm with ESC is that it never is the best one that wins, but that song stops being special after the fifth time, and Rybak can't really sing :/

Yes, the word probably exist in many languages, but does it have the same snigger potential?

Annoying and fake... You know, when I saw him in the I-have-won performance I suddenly realised what scared me. He has the Frodo Baggins/Elijah Wood face. That one single the-only-emotion-I-need suffering puppy face with big awww eyes.
