Baltic Eurovision Contest

I got soooooo confused last night watching Lithuania and Estonia's national finals. Several times on Twitter I definitely tagged the wrong country. But, honestly, their fare has been slipping a bit lately and if Latvia had been the same night too, I'd have totally not remembered which was which. (except that Latvia is abominable.)

So, Lithuania. Love is Blind by Donny Montell. Love would have to be blind with his eyebrows!


:(



The song? It starts as a typical ballad. He's onstage blindfolded. Get it, cos LOVE IS BLIND! SO HE'S BLIND(folded). Did you get it? Did you get it? It's so subtle. 

Or maybe my comments about his eyebrows really did hurt his feelings? 

No, I guess not, because 1 and a half minutes in it goes all disco-dance. AND THE BLINDDFOLD IS BUCKSFIZZED! (yeah, it's a verb now!) Er... You know the song has to end at three minutes? At this point, it seems like two half-songs jammed together. And neither make much of an impression.

BUT HIS EYEBROWS DO!

Onto Estonia then. Ott Lepland with Kuula.

Not much to say here. It's a piano ballad, like hundreds we've heard before. But it is in Estonian, so I'm 12-pointing this one (yeah, that's also a verb now!) If it gets changed into English before the contest, it can fuck right off.
