Took me ages to find this topic
It's that wonderful time of year again. Watched SF1 with my best friend from school on Tuesday (his taste in music is horrible, but Ireland and Iceland were our only real disagreements!)
I'm majorly on the Croatia bandwagon this year (even bought a football shirt to wear on Saturday night) as their song is just a ridiculous amount of fun and everything you want from a Eurosong - hoping the juries won't try and pull another Loreen vs Karija style stunt. Other honourable mentions to Ireland's bizarre performance which really seems to have split the room and some more madcap mayhem from Finland, while the catchy chorus of Poland's entry (which got my tactical vote) was robbed IMO.
SF2 tonight - Doesn't look as strong, from my point of view, but we still have the highly fancied Netherlands and the perennial underdogs of Sweden to look forward to. I really like Norway's entry on a musical level, but I confess I don't really understand why it's on this stage. I REALLY don't want to get politicial, because I'm sick to ****ing death of reading it - but I think Eden Golan of Israel has one of the best voices in this year's line-up and any other year, this would have smashed it (any Euro-fan who claims they're not still singing Unicorn from last year is a liar)
I saw Lord of the Lost (Germany's entry last year) support Iron Maiden. They were awesome.
On a usual Will running joke line - not enough eye candy this year for my liking. So I've been googling Norway's contestant from last year.
