Cause this is our night, we’ll fly to the top baby – oh sorry, wrong Greek crowd pleaser!Continue reading “Happy Eurovision Day!”
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). And also: ah yeah yeah, FUEGO.Continue reading “Eurovision 2018 Semi 1 – The Day After”

Two semis, 37 entries and only 2 entries that managed to earn 5 stars/hearts. How about (spoiler alert) doubling that in one go? Time for the first batch of Big Five (plus one) and unlike in previous years they actually seem to care #colormeamazed. Happy reading!Continue reading “Eurovision 2018 Preview Part 13: France, Germany & Italy”
So, it only took us eleven posts to get a 5 star/heart entry – will there be any more? We’ve already come to the end of semi 2, chances are getting slim! Only two more posts to go before I have to get my crystal ball out – have we seen the winner already or not? Happy reading!Continue reading “Eurovision 2018 Preview Part 12: Montenegro, Slovenia & Ukraine”

Another day, another threesome – in our previews, silly! Though I bet if you asked nicely you’d find a candidate or two in our bunch for today, cause everybody’s got a little outlaw in ’em after all, right? Or is it all less exciting than you’d initially think? Happy reading and voting!Continue reading “Eurovision 2018 Preview Part 9: Moldova, Netherlands & Australia”
