The only points for Ireland (5) came from Albania. Do they drink way TOO MUCH there during Eurovision? I mean, their 12 was for Spain

[D5K]

The scansion in the chorus really grates with me

 

[Iguana]

Who are you referring to

Probably applies to everyone in this thread tbf

 

[Suomi]

I’m not sure how I feel about mid-song TRANSLATIONS

 

[Apoca]

Macedonian pop delight in 7/8 timing. WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE?

(Didn't need the switch to English though.)

 

[Raining on Me]

Rachel Stevens has VOX after all

She just didn't need them for "Come and Get It"

 

[Penelope]

MUSIC knows no CREED or KALA

 

[octophone]

Odd time-signature in the chorus so I'll let them off for pushing the envelope a bit.

 

[Soldi]

This is a bit FOLKY but NO WHIFF OF THE SOUK

 

[dmlaw]

I miss they days when they would break into unconvincingly pronounced English in the second half of the song.

 

[Iguana]

Maybe the jury left after the first half?

 

[Dark Carnival]

If you're going to use the wind machine so much either get a long flowy dress or one that just shows your knickers! Silly bent!

It was a jury.

I know, but that hardly justifies those votes, for god's sake

[Iguana]

If she put on an Octopus outfit I might think this was Katherine Jenkins

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Looks like she got her arm tangled in the wires behind the TV.
