The time has come my friends, where the UK sit and wonder if we will actually win this year or indeed get anywhere near the top of the leader board. My news feeds have been clogged with people having parties, and here I am poorly attempting to do a live blog.
Right now I have to sight of a lot of balls, or "circles" this years meaning and theme being building bridges, and some babe in an awesome dress playing the violin. THEN the reigning supreme Concita, introducing this, obviously miming, group of women in even more GORGEOUS DRESSES singing the theme song I guess. IF that wasn't enough, some random dude doing a rap AND then a boys choir are introduced into the mix. Oh btw the people who I just accused of miming are now actually singing, awks.
Honestly I feel like I'm going to be having a tough time trying to catch up with what's going on. Seriously I feel like there is too much shit going on, resulting in me feeling very disorientated!
LOL Graham Norton just referred to Australia as a novelty act this year. Harsh!
I don't know why but I'm getting major cheese vibes, like every year. Europe just gives me cheese vibes tbh.
Were live in Chinaaaaaaaaa, and now finally we are onto the acts!
SLOVENIA-
My verdict: Velocioid vibes, front woman has donned on earphones. MIMING VIOLINIST/DANCER.
The song is catchy, I feel like there is a Clean Bandit influence. I liked it.
FRANCE
They came last last year whaaaat. OH GOD EARTH SONG BACKDROP (When that song came out I used to scream cause I hated the music video and to this day I still hate that song by Michael Jackson). When songs are sung in their native language I so badly want to know what they are singing about. Yes I did French in secondary school, no I do not remember anything.
ISRAEL
Apparently this is a party song, nice and fitting.
OMG WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH BLUE? I say that because it sounds like early Blue stuff.
ESTONIA
WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE HER UP, DAMNIT?!
Did not like. She shed a single tear near the end. Stop acting whilst singing. Also sounds a lot like Gotye. Go back to sleep love.
UNITED KINGDOM
Aww shit son, lets go get it guys!
Omg this is going to be a flop. I just hate the song, I hate the music. At least they can half sing, HALF.
I HATE IT.
ARMENIA
Now Graham, why are you saying your blaming Game of Thrones for this song?
Very dramatic and musical-esque. Powerfull. But no.
LITHUANIA
Snogging on the stage. Their vocals are very strong. Very pop indeed.
Are these two actually an item? Very Munford and Sons.
SIBERIA
Ooo plump princess, finally someone representin'! OMG you think the backing singers are creepy men but nope. By far my favourite. That lady has some lungs.
NORWAY
CUTE. Very good singing. There are a lot of male and female duet acts.
SWEDEN
I like what's going on in terms of visual. Again very good singing. I like it, the whole hero theme is good. Aww he is cute isn't he.
CYPRUS
Its always nice to have a slow song. Its very mellow magic, and I like this song. The lyrics are nice, if not obviously rhymed, and it just sounds nice.
AUSTRALIA
Urgh just what we need, another Bruno Mars.
BELGIUM
This is a very random performance. I don't think it fits in with the contest but I do like the song.
AUSTRIA
The piano is gonna be set on fire....
Why? With the hat? Why?
Yep, called it.
Seriously hating the interlude conversations.
GREECE
CELIENE DION INSPIRED? Omg her voice, so powerful! YES FAVOURITE!
MONTENEGRO
I got so bored. Sorry guy.
GERMANY
This song sounds very familiar!!!! I'm getting very fed up with the vintage theme in most of these songs.
POLAND
Cute backdrop, again very musical-esque but I like this song and its message. At points it was a bit shaky but its expected.
LATVIA
That dress thooooo. And the song is amazing, her voice is amazing too.
ROMANIA
Sad song?
SPAIN
NO CAPES. Has anyone not learned by the Madge incident? Did no one watch The Incredibles?
The whole dress reveal could have gone worse, Madonna springs to mind.
HUNGARY
Very nice song. I like acoustic sounding songs.
GEORGIA
YES. YES. Song game is strong.
AZERBAIJAN
Random crawling guy, whaaat lol. Another damn ballad, though this time its a no from me though you can sing mate. THERE ARE TWO RANDOM CRAWLING GUYS, oh wait thats a woman.
RUSSIA
They believe in the dream of the superhighway connecting to America? Marilyn Monroe look, ahh classic. I do like this song though. Part of me thinks Russia is going to win.
ALBANIA
Nope sorry.
ITALY
Omg seriously hotties. Wonder why they are finishing with these guys?! Ha! That one in the middle is my favourite. Though I'm not a huge fan of pop/opera crossovers.
This intermission is both refreshing, just being pure music and no singing. But also very random.
Oh god there are two intermissions?! Much preferred Conhcita's performance.
So much awkwardness. That kid though.
VOTING
Very obvious from the offset that it was definitly going to be close between Sweden, Russia, and Italy.
Well done Sweden!
