... I'd say congratulations all around. The show was very well done and as Eurovision pop numbers go, a lot of great songs- and more realistic results. Agreed. The production was terrific, performances and songs were far better than usual and the voting sorted out. And for those watching in the UK, Graham Norton was a very creditable replacement for El Tel.

Oh, and I imagine that the exact date of the result won't be lost on the Norwegian media.

The result certainly confounded the expectation that the chauvinistic votes of the slav and migrant labour countries would dominate as usual. That show item with the swimmers in the transparent plastic bowl thing was a stroke of artistic genius. |

Probably so, but I'm somewhat immune to musical criticism- snotty or not! The songs in the final were palpably better than in recent years IMO- if more uniform stylistically. Azerbaijan's popularity would indicate that audiences don't particularly care if the singers can't sing in tune. (I think the male singer (who sang offkey in the heat as well) is popular in a few countries.) The best singer was from Sweden and she got 25 points. It says it all really. Not to me. The ability to belt out a few high notes at the standard of a first year conservatoire trained singer is not much of an asset in popular music. -- (*) of the royal duchy of city south and deansgate www.davidhorne.net (email address on website) "The fact is that when I compose I never think of and never have thought of meeting the listener." -George Perle (RIP 2009) |
