Just a few quick reminders of who is performing at tonight’s final.
1. United Kingdom – Engelbert Humperdinck
The man with the side burns and face made of mahogany
2. Hungary – Compact Disco
Sound a bit like Savage Garden and their video features a Matt Berry lookalike
3. Albania - Rona Nishliu
Lady with dreadlocks does some wailing
4. Lithuania – Donny Montell
wears a blindfold
5. Bosnia and Herzegovina – Maya Sar
Lady with a piano who has a donkey to carry treble clef
6. Russia - Buranovskiye Babushi
a gang of incredible old ladies with a revolving oven
7. Iceland - Gréta Salóme & Jónsi
Twilight-esque male/female duet entry
8. Cyprus - Ivi Adamou
la la la la la la la la la la la la love
9. France – Anggun
has a production line of good-looking men in uniform
10. Italy – Nina Zilli
in Italian and English, bound to have lots of dancers
11. Estonia – Ott Lepland
It sounds a little like Hero and he wants to win EVERYTHING
12. Norway – Tooji
is there more to life than being really really ridiculously good-looking?
13. Azerbaijan - Sabina Babaveva
ballad from the host country
14. Romania – Mandinga
Unexpected latino band
15. Denmark – Soluna Samay
“hay I’m Soluna Samay and I’m wearing a jaunty military hat!”
16. Greece - Eleftheria Eleftheriou
video in a shopping centre, uses men like stairs, dance like a baby ant
17. Sweden – Loreen
great hair, crazy dance moves, looks like Claudia Winkleman
18. Turkey - Can Bonomo
song about sailing with dancers who turn into a boat
19. Spain – Pastora Soler
has been asked to lose so probably not worth wondering about
20. Germany – Roman Lob
man singing a song co-written by Jamie Cullum, will probably wear a beanie
21. Malta – Kurt Calleja
there’s a party in a warehouse but also a fire
22. F.Y.R. Macedonia - Kaliopi
Song translates to Black and White which are also the colours of the hideous jacket and shirt combo she wears in the video.
23. Ireland – Jedward
twins in a fountain
24. Serbia - Željko Joksimović
man singing an emotional ballad to sweeping strings with an epic key change
25. Ukraine – Gaitana
sadly wasn’t the same as be our guest from Beauty and the Beast but she does seem to be a crazy diva – perfect end
So who do we think will win?
