Oi! Eurovision semi-finals tonight! Vote LORDI! :D :D :D

And running recap:

Armenia - bad, BAD Ricky Martin knockoff

Bulgaria - decent girl. Shame she can't move.

Slovenia - ugh. I thought Finland did the monsters this year? What's with the werewolf hair, dude?

Andorra - ooh. Three singers' worth in one body, both in terms of weight and voice. Showstopper, no matter how much she weighs.

Belarus - Kylie knockoff, with yoga!Geri Halliwell mixed in. Much less talented than either.

Albania - classic cheesy Eurovision folk. Points for embroidery on those waistcoats, though.

Belgium - Kate Ryan. Knockoff of Tainted Love with a Motown vibe. Listenable.

Ireland - pub crooning. Quite decent pub crooning, but still. Cookie-cutter Irish.

Cyprus - showtune, Whitney Houston style. Not bad.

Monaco - *blinks* Disco Tahiti. In Tahitian. The hell?

Macedonia - Balkan pop with Turkish rhythms. Kinda like a Yugoslav Jessica Simpson.

Poland - *crickets* *cricets* *CRICKETS*

Russia - cute. I like the showdancing. The song's forgettable, but not jarring. Decent voice if he'd release it, but he sounds determined to sing boyband style.

Turkey - I think I'll ogle the dancers instead. Niiice :D

Ukraine - Shakira called. She wants her act back.


Finland - LORDI! YAY! WINGSES! :D :D :D Number 16, people! Don't forget to vote!


Netherlands - hmm, the tropical theme is popular tonight, isn't it?

Lithuania - I thought this sort of behaviour was reserved for UK Christmas top ten contentders? Still, unexpected surrealist cabaret = plus points.

Portugal - cheery girlpop, seventies style. Listenable. You can even whistle to it.

Sweden - disco anthem again. *channel surfs*

Estonia - country disco. That's something new, certainly.

Bosnia&Herzegovina - Balkan crooning this time. Quite nice. Background music.

Iceland - bubblegum pop meets Roxie Hart. And my gods, the pink. My eyes.

Most likely *g*

Well, let's see what your guys can do.

*eyedart* He's German. Really. Like, honestly. NOT OURS.

[carmentalis.livejournal.com]

I do like the costumes and the show. It was better than some of the others so far.

[winter]

Let's just say he makes Tom Cruise look sane.

[carmentalis.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, but who cares? It's Eurovision. ;.)

And your guys were definitely better than the Russians now.

[winter]

But he jumps so cutely :>

[carmentalis.livejournal.com]

Yes, but still... not the greatest voice. Not really.

*gets the Finnish flags ready*

[winter]

I think it could have been better, but gah, silly singing style. And oo. I LIKE the Turkish dancers :D

[carmentalis.livejournal.com]

They weren't bad at all, though the girl...

Btw, if you fancy a IM threesome with me and Alice, as far as commenting goes...

Alas, TV's in the other room, so I keep running over to snark with Mother. *pokes not!Shakira* Off with you! I want Lordi!

[carmentalis.livejournal.com]

They sould be coming now.

[winter]

That was fun :D I loved the wings.

[carmentalis.livejournal.com]

I so want them to win!

They are so refreshingly different.

[winter]

I think they might. The word's been spreading over here.

[carmentalis.livejournal.com]

Here too. And in the internet forums there was a general call to vote for them. Let's see what comes of that.

It would thoroughly traumatize the classic viewers, that'S for sure. *g*

[winter]

That would be a plus, I think.
