A personal view on the Eurovision Song Contest
We’re moving fast and don’t look back, here’s part 3 of the run through of this year’s contestants! Will they be beautiful butterflies, or rather moths that have to hide away in the dark? First of all, a bit of framework for the judging – I’ll be looking at the song, the vocal performance andContinue reading “Eurovision 2013 (P)Review – Part 3 – Denmark & Russia”
Following yesterday’s premiere, here’s part 2 of the run through of this year’s contestants! Will they be beautiful butterflies, or rather moths that have to hide away in the dark? First of all, a bit of framework for the judging – I’ll be looking at the song, the vocal performance and the stage presentation (orContinue reading “Eurovision 2013 (P)Review – Part 2 – Slovenia & Croatia”
The Easter Bunny has made his rounds and apart from the chocolate I stuffed my face with (my running shoes will become my best friends once more) he also remembered to drop a song for this year’s Eurovision Song Contest in each (participating) country’s basket. SVT and EBU assisted by unleashing the running order forContinue reading “Eurovision 2013 (P)Review – Part 1 – Austria & Estonia”

Sure, this year would have that extra something as the Swedes have got a title to defendContinue reading “Eurovision 2013 – Melodifestivalen 1 & 2 – Dead fish & Japandrogeny”

Which means their national finals weren’t exactly troubling my schedule in the past coupleContinue reading “Eurovision 2013 – Unser Song für Malmö – Einfach Glorious”
They were fully at it up north, the past couple of weeks, weren’t they? Two weeks of not posting anything on here and suddenly we’ve got 4 Scandinavian entries for Malmö. Time flies, you say? You are not kidding, my friend!
Who pressed the FFWD button? Suddenly it’s fracking January and Eurovision’s on season is back! After quite the crappy second half of 2012 (in my private life, no details necessary), which led to a lack of energy which led to a lacklustre attitude towards my blog, I am now forced to take the glove backContinue reading “Eurovision season 2013 kick-off: MGP semi 1 review”
