Russia – now THIS is why we came!

This is more like it. The first song since Bulgaria yesterday that is any good, at all!!

He looks straight down the camera at you – and really, for 3 minutes, tells you that he wants to win the whole god damn thing – He dances around the stage and does lots of polite choreography and jumps on the piano and tells me he has got bone on his bone – which is a *good* thing.

Dima is a class performer and deserves to qualify handsomely out of the Semi Final and do very well in the final. and on this performance – there is nothing that suggests that It will not do so. The only proviso is that this part of the draw, in complete contrast to yesterday – has a lot of damn fine songs in it – it *could* get lost – but it’s highly unlikely.

Now – this might be a little delayed as the net connection in the hall is a bit flaky to say the least – so we could be reverting to OnEurope (almost) Live!!
