Like Anthony Kiedis if he'd been raised exclusively on a diet of lettuce water and crack.

Oh god, this has got to be the GREATEST intro in Eurovision that led into a complete letdown ever.

Oh shit I missed Let Me Try.

Fuming.

 

[dmlaw]

10/10 for Albania just for that opening with the dust cloths.

Albania's quite fit.

The dancers routine is bananas.

Best eyeshadow so far.

Nice to see Aisleyne getting work.

 

[VoR]

This intro promises so much more than the rest of the song delivers.

I'd completely forgotten this. My rediscovery of the contest so far

 

[Beverley]

I wanna sing this for Moopy factor

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Her dress looks like a wound.
