Is it just me or was everyone tapping their feet to MOST of the songs this year ? A great improvement ! Well done to Russia for putting on a great show without too many over the top screaming! Even the comperes were held in check! The only criticism I have is that the Camera angles were a little boring as NO close up shots were shown during the performances until the last few acts. Very run-of-the-mill panoramic shots that did not reflect the dynamism that was on stage.
Jade must have read my earlier blog as NO arm waving!! Fantastic performance from her representing the UK. Except I thought it would have sounded better in a lower key and not 'rushed' in a manic fashion. Perhaps they were only allowed a certain amount of time and had to hurry a little. Hope the violin player recovers from her assault! lol hahaha
The Azerbaijan Girls didnt disappoint nor did a lot from all countries!lol Some of the performances I enjoyed were from Portugal,Spain,Albania, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Estonia, Finland and of course our own UK act. But I didnt like NORWAYS entry at all!!
Political voting was still in very much in evidence though, The Eastern block looking after the Eastern block.
I think that after all of this,The UK entry will still be the biggest selling song commercially.
Terry Wogan was missed but Mr Norton did an adequate job, apart from fawning at the scantily clad male dancers! lol
A very entertaining and enjoyable evening and the best Eurovision for quality for some time.
In the words of Graham Norton....'ON your bike Sarah!'
