The Swiss do nice chocolate

Dj bobo at Eurovision

Nick: It’s annoying me. It’s a sequence of fleeting moments of sounds-a-bit-like-something-elseness, never quite long enough for me to get a proper grip and work out what it sounds like. I’m finding it a bit hollow, to be honest … bloodless, if you want to continue the vampire analogy. It’ll easily do enough business to justify the bookies, and it might very well be ABSOLUTELY the business on telly. I hate the ending, though, which is something straight out of a school musical theater productions of almost anything. It’s good … it might be the one … I’m kind of hoping it isn’t. Though I believe the chocolate is excellent in Zurich at this time of year.

Phil: I just can’t see it winning, though I do get why SSR-SSG are creaming themselves over this. I can also see why it is 6/1 joint favourite. Heck, I can even see why people think it is going to do well. However, to me – It’s just a gimmick and slightly hollow. He does some sort of “choreography” that really doesn’t add value to the performance. It seems very busy when the camera comes round – although it is a darn site better than the Raab performance. The singer, and not Bobo (the woman) is a darn site better, but I suspect that this is going to need a lot of work in order for this to do anything other than qualify, but that’s it – there are some pyrotechnics at the end and the smoke may well kill it.
