So here we are again people of Europe, our third installment of “what the hell?!”. This week, with an added real song selection. Let’s deal with that first shall we?
France
In a move that surprised no-one, France gave the ticket to something unmistakably French. However, it’s not the song I have an issue with (because it’s quite good, as you can hear and see below), it’s the look of how they gave their televote points that annoyed me. Using a different ratio to anything known to man or beast, France2 simultaneously managed to “do” 50/50 and make the viewing public go “what?”
The winner was ‘Voila’ by Barbara Pravi; a song that smells like freshly baked baguettes. It could only be French.
Norway
In their third heat of the Semi Final round, we learned that it’s not only Carola who is a witch.

Lithuania
The interminable race to finish runner-up to The Roop seems to have come to a crescendo. Gebrasy seems to be the unlucky chosen one…
That’s all for this week folks!!
