Can Piqued Jacks do better than Valentina Monetta?

Piqued Jacks

I am so hoping you saw what I did there, because I hate wasting poetry on the uninitiated.

Yes, after copying the Sanremo festival all week, and thankfully failing miserably, we finally have ourselves an entrant to the Eurovision from the Most Serene Republic (I did wonder what the least serene republic looks and sounds like?) picked from a ‘short’ list of 106 contenders – it was like anyone and everyone was allowed to tip up and have a go. If you didn’t tune in, the semi-final song and performance quality was … variable.

So, I hear none of you asking with baited breath, which of the plethora of songs that were lined up could possibly follow Stripper into the annals of Eurovision history?

22 acts performed, and the decision was made by a jury, headed up by Italian Eurovision icon, Al Bano. They settled on Italian manband Piqued Jacks, who will now be up against Slovenian Joker Out in the same half of the same semifinal.
