Eurovision 2018 Semi 1 – The Day After
Funny how those weeks between the last entry being chosen and Eurovision itself seem to last forever. Tossing and turning, looking at every entry from every angle… Until that first semi somehow manages to overturn almost everything we were nearly sure about, cause as always reality trumps fiction (pun may or may not be intended).Continue reading “Eurovision 2018 Semi 1 – The Day After”
Eurovision 2017 Review – Magic does exist!
Maybe it’s my inner Harry Potter geek coming out, but more likely it’s my emotional soul speaking up. The 2017 edition of our beloved Contest proved to me that magic does indeed exist.
Eurovision 2016 Review – Love Love Peace Peace
Come together, all flags allowed, interval act by refugees – world peace was the order of the day on the 14th of May! Well, that interval act was technically not on the 14th, but you catch my drift. Love and peace all around – until the winner was announced of course. Let’s dive right in,Continue reading “Eurovision 2016 Review – Love Love Peace Peace”
Eurovision 2015 Review – Diamond in the rough
In a reversal of fortune, after last year’s raving comments post-ESC, this year’s Diamond Edition (60 years, y’all!!) seemed to have left everyone (read: the fan community) rather disappointed slash underwhelmed. Mainly due to the show apparently, and less because of the songs. Question marks are floating their way above my head, as I wonderContinue reading “Eurovision 2015 Review – Diamond in the rough”

Eurovision 2014 (P)review – Part 3 – Belgium, Denmark & Estonia
All of this year’s songs have been selected, which means it’s time to start the countdown (cue Final Countdown) for the 2014 edition of our beloved Contest. I’ve only heard a couple of songs before writing this (p)review as I wanted to simulate the sensation of the regular viewer. Curious to see how thàt willContinue reading “Eurovision 2014 (P)review – Part 3 – Belgium, Denmark & Estonia”

Eurovision 2014 (P)Review – First impressions of Ukraine, Albania & Belarus
Happy New Year to all, glitter and sparkle and such! Are you ready already for another run of on-season madness extravaganza? Until this evening I wasn’t exactly in the right mood yet, but in a moment of ‘should I already or shouldn’t I yet’ I decided I should and so I did… watch the firstContinue reading “Eurovision 2014 (P)Review – First impressions of Ukraine, Albania & Belarus”
Eurovision Review – 2013: From Caterpillar To Butterfly
I must admit: I wasn’t all too keen on this year’s edition beforehand. It seemed very difficult to compose a top ten, with only a couple of (semi) interesting songs in a sea of grey ballads. But as always it’s the live version that needs to convince, and thanks to a truckload of decent/good/great singersContinue reading “Eurovision Review – 2013: From Caterpillar To Butterfly”
