Latvia – Traffic Jam or Strawberry

Phil: It seems they may have become unstuck with the contest down old Riga way with this. Apparently its a song called ‘Traffic Jam’ … Hmmmm – Lets say they are using the diversion to Semi Final Hell as opposed to the bypass to the Eurovision Final. It’s a complete mash up of a thing that clearly tries to be slightly amusing, but is just annoying.

Intars Busulis looks like he is on some sort of substance and the backing singers, dressed in some sort of large bandages, don’t do anything but make you realise what a dire piece of tripe this song really is.

If you can get bets on this NOT making the final at reasonable odds – take it!!

Franko: Well Latvia are obviously going for the most utterly pointless performance of the week award. The song I can’t really fathom. It seems to have depths and then you realise it’s only a kid’s paddling pool. Our lead screecher prances around the stage barking at us staring pointedly at the camera which can’t quite get out of the way in time to not be seen on screen. The two girls look to be dressed in my old soiled sheets wrapped around them in an unbecoming fir tree pattern. This is really going to limp along come the live show and is consequently utterly doomed. Bring back that fine robot from three years ago I say!
