Eurovision Review: Lithuania

13 days to go and 14 countries left to review. ON of the countries I am yet to do is Lithuania... there is generally nothing much to say about Lithuania so I listened instead to Laura & The Lovers - "Little by little"

(unrelated Lyrics of the day) Luthuania II by Dan Bern
And then one day I went back to Lithuania
One day I went back to Lithuania
Flew into the capital, found a modern city
Lincoln town cars, cash machines, art galleries, McDonald's
And a big clock counting the seconds down
One by one to the millennium
Seventeen million seven oh three
Seventeen million seven oh two
Seventeen million seven oh one

That is an old song... obviously... So I guess I will talk about a newer song, this years Eurovision Entry. it is another 80's is sounding song. I kinda like it in a trashy sence... which is why I like Eurovision anyway there is something a little Thompson twins about this song, there is a bit of A-Ha and Duran Duran too... there is something else too, but I can't put a finger on it... it is really 80's though.

This song could have the potential to cause an upset. It might just be trashy enough to win, but I doubt it... It might have just a little too much talent... but then listening to it again... maybe not. I guess my opinion could be changed "little by little"... *sigh* Laura & The Lovers... well if Katrina and the waves can win with a comback single anything is possible

Whoo hoo... 2/3 of the way through now...

Eurovision Review: Greece

Seeing that greece is the most popular with the bookies, I thought I should listen to their entry and find out what was so good about them. so here are my thoughts on Helena Paparizou, "My number one"

(unrelated song of the evening) In the summer sun in Greece - A la Carte
In the summer sun of Greece
Dreaming under orange trees
In the summer sun of Greece
Dancing in the cooling breeze
There's no time for sorrow and for tears

cooling breeze, orange trees... thats fantastic... anyway back to Eurovision. This song is another pop-y rip off of Sertab, she is very popular to imitate this year. Give me more of that belly dancing beat I say.

The most popular song prior to Eurovision vary rarely wins, but who knows if this has a chance. maybe it is "My number one" for someone, just not me
