For the more patient of you, here’s kicking off this year’s gig. Unfortunately a little thing called work has prevented from posting earlier, something I won’t be hampered with in Oslo:
Ireland
The years haven’t been kind to either Niamh or myself but at least I won’t have to stand on stage in front of 150 million people and sing a dreary ballad. It’s also one of the few times I’ve been able t see the advantage of not having hair. Niamh is great fun and I genuinely wish her well. She gave a great performance and came out with the line of the night, ” I broke all of your hearts 17 years ago. Well I’m glad!”
Romania
Oneurope doesn’t seem to like Romania because it refused to upload their photo. I understand how it feels. This song is in serious trouble and it will take more than a gimicky piano to help it… something perhaps like chemistry between the singers or a decent song…
Josh
Josh is already being roped off at this early stage which means the BBC fear for his safety though I’m not sure Josh himself has yet realised that he’s going to be spending a lot of time in rooms where he’ll get more male attention than female… Oh the innocent naivete. I’d like to say TSGTM will romp home… I’d like to…..
