First a special mention to SBS: Thank you for limiting your commercial breaks!
Here are my top picks for Eurovision 2009.
I must say I was quite disappointed by the UK entry. The girl was really quite annoying!
Anyhow, in no particular order, here are my favourites from Eurovision 09!
Malta - Chiara – What If We
I was a little bit upset that she did not receive more points, I really enjoyed her song and thought it suited the Eurovision theme quite well.
A big voice to suit a big woman!
Portugal - Flor-de-lis – Todas As Ruas Do Amor
This was really happy, and light hearted. The song did not do as well as I though it would, but then perhaps people are sick of going to Lisboa! haha
Armenia –
Inga & Anush – Jan-Jan
I really loved these girls for not succumbing to the white dress syndrome like everyone else. The song was fun and I loved the ‘darkness’ element to it (though I have no idea what the lyrics mean)
Moldova – Nelly Ciobanu – Hora Din Moldova (Dancing Moldova)
This song, on the other hand was energetic, upbeat and culture-orientated so I loved it.
Estonia- Urban Symphony – Rändajad
Perhaps I just couldn’t get past this girls fringe and blue eyes……
Norway- Alexander Rybak – Fairytale
I think this guy has to be commended on his choice of stage set up. I couldn’t take my eyes off his dancers! He’s cute too, which I suppose helped a lot!
Russia – Anastasia Prikhodko – Mamo
Very Sinead O’Connor with the aging video playing behind her. A very touching song and even though i don’t speak Russian, it’s pretty clear what’s going on.
As a side note, the spokesperson for UK was really cute!
