…..well we’ve had three so far this afternoon – Latvia, Monaco and Israel…… We have seen most of all of them – certainly enough to tell you about them.
Latvia – unfortunately nothing much has changed – they still look like a poor man’s Olsen Brothers in their white suits trying to act like grown up singers – but coming across worse than the bad local school band – unfortunately, however, any hopes of this qualifying have evaporated with their talent and their apparent lack of enthusiasm. They might well be praying for qualification, and, according to anonymous posters, we may write shit about them, that is, however, because they are not going through to the final … but hey – I’m only 40 feet away from them and you are. … ?? (You being the anonymous poster!)
Monaco – Wearing a stunning dress – backing singers are wearing all black standing on the podium – very good apparently – this from an independent source!
Israel – Unfortunately she now looks like a Mermaid – the outfit is cream and salmon or silver and pink – once again – minimal choreography – A very central performance on the stage – she looks well on the camera monitors and the song has now got English lyric in the middle of it. Note not English translation – because they are a totally different set of words we are led to believe…. However – it does not detract from the song and is should well go through with a half-decent performance we think here.
