Eurovision 2015
May. 24th, 2015 12:27 am1. Slovenia -- Hahahaha air violin! The song is sort of catchy, but I don't really like her voice. She needs someone to teach her how to sing through English vowels, especially the o.
2. France -- Of course the song is in French. Wow thanks for on point enunciation! For a slow song, I don't hate it, it's sort of a power ballad, and she's got the pipes. But I don't know how broadly appealing it will be? Drummers at the end sort of random, I thought, but ok.
3. Israel -- His voice is sort of thin? Higher energy, so that's always preferable. "Pull me baby, I'm your trigger, you know my love is bigger." Ah yes, our first half nonsense English language song of the night. It surely won't be the last.
4. Estonia -- Hahahah we don't need a literal play by play of your every morning thought, random Estonian singer. It got a little more fun once the duet started, but not my fave.
5. UK -- Sort of retro and fun, even if the lyrics are kinda dumb. Love the light up costumes. This is the UK's best outing in several years.
6. Armenia -- Wow, her headdress game is strong, the ladies of Reign are jealous. The second lady singing sounds like a native American. I liked it best once they all started singing harmony. It ended strong.
7. Lithuania -- She's cute and so is her dress. I like this song.
8. Serbia -- Her English sounds native. Her voice is good. More power ballad than ballad, so that's good, too. This will probably be popular. I like it.
9. Norway -- Eh? Kind of boring but also melodramatic. Not my fave, but I liked the harmony at the end.
10. Sweden -- Pretty catchy with a cute singer. This should do well.
11. Cyprus -- How does he look like he's in black and white? That's a neat lighting trick. Another native sounding English singer. It's not bad, but slower than I like my Eurovision songs.
12. Australia -- Catchy with a good voice. But Eurovision-politics-wise, who votes for Australia? I wonder how this does.
13. Belgium -- Catchy, different, and memorable. Might be my favorite so far?
14. Austria -- I like the song and his voice. But I suspect I would find the musicians douchey. Omg piano on fire, though!
15. Greece -- Blake Lively lookalike, wow. But the song's a ballad snoozefest for most of its running length before becoming a power ballad at the end, but too late to capture my interest.
16. Montenegro -- The first non-English song since France. Neither song nor singer are bad, but I don't think his chances are high.
17. Germany -- Good voice, and the song shows off her pipes well.
18. Poland -- Eh? Don't hate it, but bit of a snoozefest.
19. Latvia -- Ok, this is sort of awesome. Headdress game is strong. This is precisely what I want from Eurovision. Would never have guessed she would be the singer from Latvia, though.
20. Romania -- Third non-English song. It's ok. But are we supposed to know what to feel about the people projected on the back screens? I don't. Oh, now it's in English at the end. Still don't know what pictures I am looking at.
21. Spain -- Fourth non-English song. Her voice is pretty, but the song is sort of generic. She may as well be singing Fly Like An Eagle from last year. The costume change was good, and why hello hottie shirtless backup dancer!
22. Hungary -- Zzzzzzzz. Predictably, I liked it better once the group harmony started, but still, eh.
23. Georgia -- Omg she looks like a befeathered Goth space queen. insta fave!
24. Azerbaijan -- The dancers are so much more interesting than the singer. Why is the shirtless dude wearing a collar contraption for no apparent reason?
25. Russia -- Hahhahahah, pretty sure her opening intro montage had her at Swarovski Crystal Worlds. Good voice, generic song. But at least it's a kumbyah peace song, so she didn't get booed like last year's singers.
26. Albania -- Impressive cleavage. But another not my fave. Song's pretty generic.
27. Italy -- Cuties, but it's sort of a dick move in the intro montage to play wheelchair basketball and then stand up at the end? Fifth non-English song. Amazing voices, gotta say. Love the harmony.
Yet again proving I am crap at predicting how things will turn out, while I thought Sweden would be popular, and that did happen, I did not foresee Russia's popularity or neither Germany nor Austria getting a single point. I thought Serbia would be more popular, but at least Belgium did pretty well. Europe, your tastes are a mystery to me every year!
