I’m heading over to the Schonbrunn Palace this evening to watch Zubin Mehta conduct the Vienna Philharmonic in the open air. Should be culturetastic, but it does mean I need to rush off from the press centre to avoid the crush – so my Slovene opinions will be formed hastily and unfairly off one runthrough, then made into words of a slightly lower standard than usual.
It’s… slightly lacking in lustre and sparkle. But it might be in the same way that Satellite was slightly lacking in lustre and sparkle 5 years ago, and that did Lena no harm after all. Qualifying easily and should have no problem getting top 10, the song’s great, but secret ingredient X that turns it into an absolute winner… I reckon that’s missing. Sorry guys, can’t advise what it is. I have the Vienna Philharmonic to catch!
I leave you in Phil’s capable hands to do Poland, but that’s yer lot from me for the day. Toddles!
