2007 Eurovision Simulblogcast

It's begun! Stay tuned to Beckysweb for blow-by-blow commentary!

Blogger Becky  20:24 The Irish entry was horribly out-of-tune. I think the band aren't used to playing in open space. Put them in a cramped pub and they'd be fine.

Jane: They definitely don't want to win it any more. 
Blogger Becky  Finland... very Evanescence. They obviously think there's legs in the dark and gothy vibe.

Jane: Big lass love the asymettric corset eye makeup more drag than goth though. Not a chance of winning. 
Blogger Becky  20:28 Male compere looks like a cross between John Barrowman and Micheal Crawford. 
Blogger Becky  The reason Eurovision is such a tranny event is that Johnny Foreigner has about the same idea of taste as the average British tranny.

Jane: Blog that!

Becky: Okay. :) 
Blogger Becky  Jane: FYR Macedonia - Power balladish , she can sing, looks nice might do well.

Lots of snow and ice in the links. 
Blogger Becky  Slovenia's promising. Nice outfit. Very operatic, sounds like a soviet anthem.

Jane: Another asymettric corset top. Glowy hand nice eldrich touch 
Blogger Becky  Hungary have no chance with this, surely?

Fave so far - Slovenia. No camp classics yet. Although the Belarus bad fake tan guy came close. :) 
Blogger Becky  Wogan annoys me. 
Blogger Becky  Jane Lithuania - pleasent, not a scoobie of a chance though as it's instantly forgetable too. 
Blogger Becky  Greece entry is living la vida rip-off! 
Blogger Becky  Jane: Fond of Goths in Finland. Georgia's entry sounds the most interesting so far, a bit dancey a bit ethnic a bit sword wielding. With the right remix could be a hit. 
Blogger Becky  Sweden - Glam Rock Halleluyah!

Jane: Let's Rock like it's Nineteen Seventy Four. 
Blogger Becky  Jane: Bex has gone for a half of time break while the local mad woman in a pink puffa jacket entertains the crowd. Haven't seen Val yet. 
Blogger Becky  Jane: France - my fav entry from a musical point of view.

Becky: Don't like it personally. 
Blogger Becky  Latvia in Italian why?

Becky: I dunno.

I'm starting to wonder if Valerie is even in this! 
Blogger Valerie S  I'm too busy hosting my own HQ :) 
Blogger Becky  Russia - Girl Band pop in over the knee socks. 
Blogger Joanna  Been at my parents.. just turned the telly on... Quite like the look of the Russian entry though ;) 
Blogger Carolyn Ann  Terry Wogan is still around? And doing these things? Wow.

Shocking. Shouldn't be allowed, etc.

What happened to Israel's entry?

Carolyn Ann 
Blogger Valerie S  What happened to Israel's entry?

Somebody pushed the button 
Blogger Becky  Thought you would Joanna. ;-)

German entry is best described by Jane...

What Frank Sinatra would have sounded like if Germany had won the war.

It's got a chance I think 
Blogger Becky  Serbia: Nice to see the lesbians getting a look-in.

The set is incredible. I hear the back-projection is made from 2.4 million Nokia N95 screens. 
Blogger Becky  MOOOOOOMIN!!!!! 
Blogger Becky  Jane: OOOH Ukraine!

Becky: Sue Pollard has really let herself go.

Jane: So many glitter balls died for those costumes: Let's hope it was not in vein. 
Blogger Becky  Jane: Scoooch!

Becky: Actually this is growing on me. Might be the wine. :)

One of the singers is well known in british tranny circles as one of the band members in Boy s Will Be Girls

Jane: At last a decent British entry it should do well but...we'll see if the Iraq war effect is true or an excuse. 
Blogger Becky  Rumania

a bit mittle european not a scoobie. 
Blogger Becky  That was Jane. :)

Really liking the Bulgarian entry. The standards really seem to have improved over the last couple of years. I think the UK might lose out because it's jokey camp entry is suprisingly looking almost out of place. 
Blogger Becky  Turkey that means belly dancing.

Jane here, the set is fantastic. The Euro dance entries are far more sophisticated than yester year. But I'm not sure about the sparkley eyebrow makeup. 
Blogger Becky  Armenia - I think eurosong fatigue is setting in. This just isn't making an impact at all. 
Blogger Becky  Jane - Moldova Big Haired poodle rock fronted- utter by a lass crap. 
Blogger Becky  SANTA!!!!!

Are you voting yet? 
Blogger Becky  That was Jane again. :)

Anyone want to join a campaign to get rid of Wogan as the British Eurovision commentator? It's obvious he doesn't want to do it, and his constant carping about the block voting is really starting to grate. 
Blogger Joanna  Damn.. someone gave us points. Coming last is one thing, but it's almost a badge of honour to be so bad no bugger votes for you.... 
Blogger Valerie S  We've got plenty of experience in that. 
Blogger Becky  Serbia won... not sure what I think of the song, but well done.

Finland put on an excellent show too. :) 
Blogger Joanna  Well done Finland for the show.

Now its Serbias turn to be bankrupted staging the next one while the other nations breath a sigh of relief. 
Blogger Valerie S  Thank you babes. You cannot imagine how hard I have been working last months. I see UK is doing full effort avoiding the hasle ;)

Seriously, it was fun but time to move on now. Eurovision is so passe already. 
Blogger Jane  Mmmm Serbia well at least we are no longer bombing them.

Finland did very well.

Wogan sounds like your old and confused great uncle who no longer understands what's going on in the world and is still quietly outraged that women have the vote. Becky I would certainly support any campaign to replace him as long as it's not with some other duffer. 
Blogger Lynn Jones  Seems the Fins have got it cracked. Any chance you could do an audio feed next year? I wonder if Uncle Tel would like a year off? 
Blogger Steg  Very astute comment by Becky on the British (traditionally Eurovision) entry looking out of place. I think last year's winners may have had a lasting effect - there's far more musical crunch than I'd have expected at the Eurovision and even (shock, horror) more than one song that I'd probably buy were it out as a single - Finland's Evanescence-lite and the strangely hypnotic Bulgarian thing.
Haven't enjoyed a Eurovision so much for years. Mind you I haven;t watched one for at least 20 years!
