This fecking contest now appears to be gaining a bit of momentum. This morning’s rehearsals have thrown up the shocker of a brilliant Austrian rehearsal. Nadine absolutely nailed the performance, cos she is ace and we officially like her. Our man on the inside of the Austrian camp has suggested we’ll get dry ice – or fog, as he eloquently put it – at the next rehearsal.
Bosnia AND Herzegovina went OK, and we have lots and lots and lots of arm waving, in the style of Finland’s CatCat to look forward to. The Netherlands doesn’t really go anywhere, but you never know. This resistance fighter still preferred the Dutch language version. Belgium has six very good singers, but if there’s a word that means the opposite of synergy, it could well be applied here.
Slovakia went well I thought. Not brilliant, but not bad either. A group of delegates who got in the way of the press in the arena didn’t earn themselves any friends. Ukraine has an extra from Flash Gordon. We’re now all doing impressions of Brian Blessed.
Stay tuned.
