Eurovision weekend!
This year isn't as good as some, but there are still some songs that I like. I think Germany has the strongest song. Kind of downer lyrics, but I like it musically.
I do NOT like Albania. But apparently, many people do. To me, she looks like Trelawny when she makes the prediction about Wormtail coming back and nearly chokes.
I like Malta, and am just waiting for my kids to start doing the footwork from this (my younger ones, not my older boys who are scared of dancing):
I really like Estonia--a heartfelt ballad, even if I can't understand a word he's saying.
Jedward of Ireland is fun, and this time the video portion doesn't even induce migraines.
Loreen from Sweden has a nice song that feels somewhat unfinished to me. She has a nice voice, though. But it's interesting how she's carefully crafted the lighting to hide her face, even when you're looking right at her. Her entire act makes me think that her school teachers had no idea what to do with her--this brilliant child, yes, but kind of living in her own creative world that had nothing to do with the school's framework.
The Russian grannies--there is a group of very elderly Russian ladies singing in Udmet. They look cool. But I'm not convinced that their live performance quite adds up. Also, I think they are worthy of a better song. The Romanian entry IS cool, with some awesome bagpipes that work surprisingly well in a modern song.
