Thoughts! Now that I have caught up
1) The Melodifestivalen stage is horrible
\
2) The draw is as expected, honestly. I enjoy seeing the usual suspects getting stuck in the first half but I suspect my early projected 20 based only on draw order:
S1 - Armenia, Greece, Hungary, Russia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bosnia, Estonia, Iceland, Malta
S2 - Australia, Ireland, FYR Macedonia, Serbia, Albania, Denmark, Georgia, Norway, Romania, Ukraine
will stay relatively the same. Granted, I'm going 4/5 on the first half and lately they are lucky if they get four in...
3) Malta's song is a useless retread of last year's song, which is bizarre, and Belarus' entry is boring and dull. So we're totally going to Tirana as of now!
4) I really need to get back to blogging about this boring as hell year
5) I have a feeling France is winning this year regardless the song...
if Rūta gets to represent Lithuania, she'll get my vote.
The rest can have fun fighting for 5 points.
