EuroVision live blog

Ok all, it’s being webcast live at http://www.eurovision.tv/esctv… and you’ll get song by song updates hers.

It’s being held in Baku Azerbaijan and they are doing an incredible job of presenting the country. Amazing venue. And the scenes from across the country show a very modern country. Granted it’s what they choose to show – but what they show is impressive.

Clearly the financial problems are having an impact on the show. Most of the female performers apparently could only afford enough cloth to barely cover themselves.

Montenegro – I think they found Meatloaf and removed what little talent he had.

Iceland – very pretty ballad. Not awesome but it is quite good.

Greece – apparently economic disaster leads to awesome upbeat music. Superb.

Latvia – Imagine “The View” as a musical.

Albania – painfully loud female vocalist. And an atrocious hairdo to match.

Romania – very catchy pop number, but nothing great – with an accordion & bagpipes.

Switzerland – I think they held a contest for the high school rock band with the most overacted stage show.

Belgium – very pretty song. But the singer missed a lot of the notes and that wrecked what otherwise could have been one of the top songs.

Finland – pretty song well done (female vocalist). Nothing great but in comparison to the others, it’s great.

Israel – Imagine a College dance band… In the ’50s.

San Marino – standard upbeat pop.

Cyprus – Female pop singer, lots of jumping and dancing with others.  Not bad – very upbeat.

Denmark – Standard pop band. Ok but nothing special.

Russia – Russia has this incredible depth of amazing musical talent and they send Babushkas? Really?

Hungary – Male vocalist with a range of about 3 notes and a semi-loud back-up band.

Austria – Two Germans doing rap. And yet they’re not bad (compared to the other groups here).

Moldova – Possibly the cheesiest dancing ever at ESC. But the song (typical pop) isn’t bad.

Ireland – JEDWARD is the perfect ESC act (don’t know if that’s a compliment). Really good song.

    1. If you really think it ought to be considered for front page status, you ought to “Recommend” it. But, son of a bitch, you already did.

      I wish the diary had more of a sociopolitical slant to it, though. Seriously. Like: “Greece’s economy may be collapsing, but the spirit of the people still shines through in this slab of mindless pop.”

        1. But if Greece wins, how can they afford to host next year?

          You don’t get that kind of arch wit and penetrating insight in the legacy media. Not anymore, you don’t.

                    1. Hell, banks don’t even make loans these days. No reason I should.

                      However, as might be evident from this thread, I’m willing to donate my time — a minute here, a minute there — to charity.

                    2. I was referring to a minute or two of my time in order to promote a blog. I only donate hundreds of dollars worth of my time to sleep.
