So we’ve been reading around the subject, and it appears that Emmy has opted to go with a distinctive yet subtle staging, themed around the noble sport of boxing. There are also suspicions that it may not be taking place strictly according to Queensberry Rules.
We’re going to let the anticipation build on this one, strong suspicions that it’s not to be watched on an empty stomach. Off to the Cafe Bonnen for breakfast, brunch and lunch and then we’ll return to the audiovisual treats on offer in Room 602!
Armenia is also a gift. Truly ridiculous in ALL the right ways, and a real pick-me-up after Severe Aurela. Worth waiting for!!!
Phil: Blimey, Kitchen and Sink immediately spring to mind but god save us, she doesn’t have much left after that!!
Clearly someone said to her ” you know what we need to do?, we need streamers and a gimmick!” NO!!! – Just stand and sing the song yer daft bint. Some of OnEurope and their friends have had insignificant and significant amounts of money on that qualifying at 2/1. I fear, boys, your money may be safe as even though it is a Jedward car crash, it has enough of a good tune and some mates in this semi ( 6 of them I am told) for you to make significant monies on that one!!
That was well worth, however, not having a pass for!
Riigi: It’s true! In the great tradition of Armenian props, we have a giant boxing glove on stage. No ordinary boxing glove you understand. This one has space for diminutive Emmy to sit, and the cuff (for want of a better word) is all sparkly and says the singers name on it. I prefer giant fruit stones myself, but then again I don’t know what it takes to write a Eurovision song. we also have the curse of the streamers. Last year, the fan favourite Horehronie used streamers. They were fourth on in the first semi-final. Today, Armenia used more substantial streamers to form Emmy’s boxing ring. She was sooo proud of her ring too.
Hacksaw is now in the house, so all is right with the world.
More soon, maybe.
