Belgium – He is still very VERY static – he has a slappable face and boy, will Europe want to do that as well. This is gut wrenchingly bad it hurts, oh it hurts, really hurts etc. He just doesn’t do anything for me and it just makes me wanna go down to the front and throw up or throw fruit at him!! This will finish 39th and last.
Estonia – Lets Get Loud – Oh dear!! – Whilst they look pretty enough (and I am in their press conference, may I add) – they still tend to shout at me very loudly at me and they make my ear hurts!! – The choreography is all over the stage and it looks untidy. The Record desks make the thing look cluttered even more. However, they have toned down the shouting somewhat and with some fine tuning between now and Thursday – could be up there with the challengers
Norway – certain qualifier – as sure as eggs are eggs, they will get through with no effort at all. They are, however, Rock lite – or as it has been put around here, limp rock. Its not that heavy for the Eurovision but it’s not that bad enough to be a turn off for the public. They do , however look about 400 between them. They bound around and swear lots off camera – but I think it is all bluff and buster.
Right everyone – that’s it for today – sorry for the lack of coverage as such – it has been a sorta rest day here and – as such – am away to sleep – however, will go through the pictures and will write a “who’s gonna qualify” list. Sorry if its not what you expected – but boy – it’s still hard work and remember I have to run between venues to get a computer! – Thank you for all the nice reports and, God willing, you will stay with us!!
