Norskie commentator again: “You know how some songs are so irritating that they sound like a buzz saw going full speed just inches from your ear? Right, here it is.” ---

Judging from the consistently sharp singing, I’m guessing the Irish guy had a monitor problem. It’s another Cheeky Girl wannabe and another bunch of men in white coats. ---

I want them to win for the brass section alone. Come on folks, it takes _guts_ to look that stoooopid on international television. ---

The Polish singer is singing in Spanish?!? Actually I walked past a “Polist-Mexican bistro” earlier today. I can’t think of a more disparate pairing, but there ya go. Oh Christ, it’s the Uk entry next. ---

Well, I suppose the UK entry can at least sing this year 😕 I still want the Ukraine to win, even if she was a wannabe Xena! ---

Cyprus: Wow – nasal, but talented. And the audience have shut up, which suggests she’ll do well in the voting. On an unrelated note, no disrespect to the Cypriots but their flag looks like it has a big piss stain on it. ---
