First three entries:

Albania 2012: Rona Nishliu / "Suus"

(Like all Albanian entries, this song will most likely be completely reworked until the Contest)

I'm definitely not impressed so far.....

And for Albania's sake I hope their song is reworked quite substantially, because that was just awful!!

I used to love Cyprus' entries, but their song this year is so bland. It's like every other summer one hit wonder from the past twenty years or so: Paradisio, Vengaboys, Blümchen, Pandora.....

Netherlands 2012: Joan Franka / "You and Me"

* Will the Netherlands qualify for the final for the first time since 2004?

Slovenia 2012: Eva Boto / "Verjamem"

* Will this song bring Slovenia its best result at the contest ever?

Finland 2012: Pernilla Karlsson / "När jag blundar"

* This is the first time since 1990 and only the second time in the history of the contest that Finland has opted for a song in Swedish. The Swedish language was last heard in the 1998 contest, then of course in the Swedish entry.

* As expected, Belarus has changed its entry.

Austria 2012: Trackshittaz / "Woki mit deim Popo"

* This song is sung in Central Bavarian, a regional dialect, not in Standard German.

75-year old Engelbert Humperdinck will represent the United Kingdom in this year's Eurovision Song Contest.

(Rumour has it that Dame Vera Lynn (94 years old) was the first choice, but she felt that someone a little bit younger would be more appropriate. Little did she know that the BBC would take her words quite so literally..... tongue.png )

Engelbert won't even be the oldest participant in this year's edition: Russia will be represented by Buranovskie Babushki, a group of grandmas, with the song "Party for Everybody".

Meanwhile, Armenia has decided to withdraw from the contest for political reasons.

Yes, that is indeed Russia's entry. Of course it's utter trash but I think it might even win the contest – after all, it's Russia. If some other country would send this kind of song – apart from Ukraine –, it would end up last in one of the semi finals.

Jedward? I had never seen these little techno doublemint twins... and WOW are they AWFUL, there are no words. What happened with Lys Assia? I thought she was going to compete? I am a Swede... that Albanian song sounded quite promising when I started listening, but then went to hell REALLY quickly. I like dark, melancholy ballads, but that was just strange. I'm likin that UK song, Eng certainly ain't lost his pipes... but that light brown hair has got to GO, it don't look right on him.

    • In the 2nd semi-final, I enjoyed Denmark and Luxembourg (plus France) the most. I was also positively surprised by Germany's performance, because usually our performances are ... well, lackluster, to put it nicely. The one country I did not expect to qualify was Armenia, but yeah, the staging probably helped a lot, because the song itself is just noise in my ears. I thought Serbia would make it instead. None of the Balkan countries made it to the Grand Final (first time since 2013), while all the Nordics and Baltics qualified. Recap of the 2nd semi-final:

    • I don't think they were prepared for Sherry Mathis to exit. I think the scripts were written well in advance and they didn't expect her to go. Louanne was on the very next episode and a terrible recast.  Erwin Nicholson made the same mistake in casting with Nicole on Edge but they gave the character some weeks or months rest before they brought in Jayne Bentzen, I believe.  As I stated above, in rewatching these posted episodes, I am making a guess that Mayer/Braxton wrote many weeks in advance because of the Spring 85 writers' strike.  While the strike lasted only two weeks, SFT is the only P&G soap that had writer credits through the two weeks of air shows that included the strike weeks. I also am guessing that Mayer was signed to a six month minimum (soaps typically have actors and writers on 13 week contracts) and Mayer was fired exactly at 26 weeks from the day his material first started airing.  He was a disaster for the show and Erwin was tired and not what the show needed although scoring Lambie as Lloyd was his top achievement (he lasted a little less than 1 year).

    • I think Steve and Shawn track down Kevin and Jeffrey gives them one dose on the sly in exchange for keeping it quiet. John's organs will go to Bo. We know he's not really coming home. Xander won't make the board meeting so EJ will get the hospital by default. And Kate will tell Xander that Sarah lied to him precisely because she feared he would do something like this to Philip  Those are my Friday predictions! Was a good show. I felt Philip's fear in that last scene.

      I guess Susan was necessary today, but I really wish she’d leave. Marlena putting EJ on blast about Belle was pretty good though, and I hope they continue to use Marlena in their storyline. I’m interested in seeing what happens to EJelle in the aftermath of the John storyline. And I really wish we were seeing Paul and Andrew moving in on John’s location. If they can’t get Christopher Sean on the show, they should at least try to get Colton Little.  I liked how smart Xander was today and that he immediately that Philip stole the drug. He did a pretty good job in his scenes where he confronted Philip as well. I also appreciate the way that Philip’s been written lately; more like a tragic hero than a bratty, goofy clown. Which is all the more reason that I hope the triangle with Stephanie and Alex is revived. But Xander did seem a little overly melodramatic in his last scene though And, I can’t help but think that Dr. Russell being so hesitant about involving the police in the drug theft could be a sign of something.
