It's rehearsals time! YAY!!!

So.... this afternoon/morning/night (depending where you are) rehearsals for Eurovision kicked off.



Now, obviously these are just the first rehearsals so you can't really tell much about the end product, but you can tell a few things... so pretty much regard this post as filled with BIG SPOILERS!!!!


Montenegro:
Disappointingly straight-looking, but there's potential for something ridiculous to come.... I hope. That EuroNeuro banner definitely leaves the potential for hijinks. Is never going to qualify, so yeah... let's move on*

Iceland:
These two are so pro. This song is so cool (in every sense, they're from Iceland!)

Latvia:
Still boring

Greece:
I'm thinking this song is going to flop out like Armenia last year. Eleftheria's only move seems to be to shake her hair around a bit. God, does that look stupid.

Albania:
I'm rooting for this one. Come on, people, this is just the first rehearsal, that woman has pipes!

Romania:
Looks more promising than before, a bit fun.

Switzerland:
It seems like this song has been around forever now. This one was first previewed like last September or so. So if it's not made an impression yet, it never will.

Belgium:
Will never like this song. Annoyingly false. Annoyingly bland, and provides a nice toilet break.

Finland
Still under-rated. Still a bit sappy. Green is a good colour for red-heads.

Romania, Mandinga Zaleilah

As I'm a fan of national language entries, this one already pleases me by being partly non-English. 

They've got a hipster with bagpipes, for some reason.

The singer gives me vibes of Sinead Mulvey -- like she doesn't match the band she's with. 

Still, I'm kinda into this one, although it seems like it'll get on my nerves quickly. So.... 

I anticipate this one will have silly costumes for the main band, and she'll be wearing something short and skimpy that'll be all Hey Hey, I've a Vajayjay! 

I also think this might go the way of Armenia in 2011.
