Eurovision Review: Russia

Tonights song was brought to us from Russia with love, well actually with the hope of global domination thus boosting russia in the global economy. I bring you Natalia Podolskaya - "Nobody hurt no one"

(unrelated lyrics of the day) mother russia by Iron Maiden
Mother Russia poetry majestic
Tells the time of a great empire
Turning round the old man ponders
Reminiscing an age gone by

yes and age gone by, a time when russia and the USSR would send quality acts to Eurovision, now there is this. They searched through all of russia, high and low and day and nigth and they finally found her, they found what they were looking for, the Russian Avril lavigne clone

There was of course controversy with this song geting into Eurovision, but there is alway complaints from the people when their nation sends a crap act to Eurovivion. This song gets particularly repetitive near the end with the line "nobody hurt no-one"... no I wont hurt no-one... except one person... the one person cusing me pain... Natalia Podolskaya then Nobody hurt will  no one else....

Eurovision Review: Portugal

Portugal have never won in the history of Eurovision, and though I doubt they are going to win this year either, I thought I would give them a try and find out if there was a hope, an no there isn't. but anyway I gave a chance to 2B - "Amar"

(unrelated Lyrics of the day) King of Portugal by Al Stewart
Dreamed I was the King of Portugal
In a big four poster bed
Noble tapestries from wall to wall
And a crown upon my head
Bells ring and servants bring
The jewels and the robes
For the night to begin

Why would you want Jewels and robes in your bedroom before the night begins? uless it if for some kinky roll play game or something. anyway back to Eurovision, this song sounds a little like M people but without the chic with the distinctive voice (she is a chic isn't she?) except that the song is half sung in Portugese. what is it with that this year anyway. a heap of the songs are sung half in one language and half in another and I for one, am finding it annoying.

This shoulc score well in Eurovision, But I doubt it will win. I guess it was never 2B :) "Amar"
