Ah, simulated nudity! Thanks, Ukraine, I _knew_ something was missing from the Contest this year… ---

The message is so real. So very real. And so depressing. Ukraine needs some happy pills in their water supply. ---

France is giving europop a bad name (…is that even possible) If this does well The Netherlands should send the Vengaboys next year ---

Catchy! France could be in with a chance, I reckon. I could do without the butt closeups though. ---

I’m liking France’s song – bouncy, fun, plus pyrotechnics. This plus Belgium’s offering are on my short list so far. ---

…well, that’s a new twist on dueling pianos. ---

Nothing says Romania more than a perspex piano and PVC catsuits worn with tutus… So far I’ve quite liked Cyprus, Azerbaijan and Ireland. I thought the girl from the Ukraine looked like she was wearing entrails and that Serbian guy looks like a Japanese popstar. ---

Oh Serbia never change. So far I like Belgium. Romania were very catchy. ---

Romania brings us the mandatory catsuit appearance. Needs more bullwhip. This song desperately needs an English-speaking lyricist. “Come and spend with me the night”? ---

Entrails! Thank you, I was trying to figure out what her outfit reminded me of. The Russian singer should go back to bed with a nice soothing cup of tea and recover from the nasty cold he seems to have. ---

Oh good, Russia has decided that knitted sweaters and a folky sound will make them seem cuddly and benign. ---
