You're crazy if you're not crazy about Eurovision

Eurovision 2012 Baku

Another typical Belgian entry


I’ve seen her performing both songs and even though she has a very good voice,  I liked none. Just like their last previous songs.

I doubt I’ll have her in my top 10 from the first semifinal…  Where are the 2004-like Belgian songs? I think that was the last memorable entry coming from them. Oh, O Julissi too, which was kinda funny!

My rating: 5/12


When the music dies in the Land of Fire


There’s only one thing I can say for sure about the Azeri song: miles better than their last entry; however, that was so bad, it is pretty hard to think “When the music dies” ends up somewhere in the first half of the final. Actually, I’m not sure they should. I’m eager to see her performing it live, but as I know she has a great voice, I feel I could like it.

The song has Swedish composers but all I can say it has drawn my attention (after her flawless voice) was the traditional Azeri rhythm. PS: if this was in one of the semifinal, I would have certainly wanted it in the Final.

My rating: 8/12

 


Uh, oh, oh, bleah, San Marino!


They only censored it… So what? My feelings are the same!

I was unable to imagine something worse than the Montenegrin song. Well… I’ve never imagined something like the Sanmarinese entry. The hell must be much worse than described.

They have never been successful in Eurovision, why come with such a top1 stupid song? God, you’re crazy!

Pure subtle Balkan magic


Awesome is a too rough word to describe this song! Pure subtle Balkan magic might fit better.

 

 

Don’t you love the small bursts of energy here and there? I don’t know what to say more so as not to spoil the magic of the song. Just that it worth the waiting.

My rating: 12/12

 

 


This scares the hell out of you


If you mix up the Hungarian, Ukrainian, Israeli, Georgian, and probably also the Maltese entries in ESC 2012 with some of the most horrific songs coming from Estonia and the Czech Republic in the past, you get the Montenegrean/Montenegrin representative. Which is, of course, an atrocity.

When you listen to this song you realize there are worse things that death and that the Ukrainian song is a masterpiece. Such a song should make EBU forbid any future participation for Montenegro for reasons of international security. I’m just joking, in the Montenegrin (is this the word? I hardly think so…but whatever) entry I find interesting ethnic influences, but not enough to make me give it more than null point.
