Contenders

Morning all!

Final day of semi-final rehearsals today; and for me the best five performances have been from Switzerland, Turkey, Iceland, Belarus & Poland. What has become apparant is that this years entire Eurovision Song Contest is far better than last years overall, and fans and non-fans are in for a fantastic show.

Switzerland


Turkey


Iceland


Belarus


Poland


Tomorrow is the start of the finals rehearsals and frankly, I am really excited to see Scooch's performance....straighteurovision will as ever keep you posted throughout the day...

In other news, Israel act the Teapacks have claimed they are considering 'pulling the button' on eurovision as their act is being tamed down by the EBU!?!?! Of course the EBU have no history of this do they? Wasn't it Alf Poier who was told not to grab his cock during his performance, and wasn't Tatu asked not to snog during their performance? Hmmmmm....im sure it will be alright on the night!

Latvian group Bonaparti.tv have reportedly gone missing in Helsinki! What a laugh!!! Maybe they have gone for a nice warm sauna amongst the cold cold weather?!?!

Oh and appararantly Sopho from Georgia is giving away free T-shirts and booze to fans in Helsinki. If that isn't a reason to stalk her, then what is???
