passionpop: (die bitch)
Belgium have only won one Eurovision ever, and it is sad to think a 13 year old girl did better than every adult they have ever sent to Eurovision. After only qualifying for the final 3 times in the last decade, this year they have one of the favourites which is predicted to be at least top 10.


Artist: Axel Hirsoux
Song: Mother

This song is pretty. I don't like pretty. Pretty will do pretty good though, if he nails it on the night. He should if reputation is anything to go by. I can hear Statler and Waldorf now...
Waldorf: I hear this guy is pretty big in Belgium
Statler: He is pretty big where ever he is
Statler & Waldorf: hohohoho...

I read the following in the bio “It is probably not a number you would expect to hear at the Eurovision Song Contest, but in Axel's view the universal message of Mother is in fact very suitable for the festival”. This is the third song to the mum in the last decade, the other two coming from Belarus and Russia. The Belarussian one was upbeat, but the Russian one was a ballad. OK this is the first one sung by a guy, but seriously, do the bio writers not know the recent history of the contest? Even if they don't can't they use Google?

I just can't care less for this song, I can't give the proverbial shit about it. Because I don't care for it, it will probably win going by recent history. Stupid Europeans and their stupid taste in music.

So in recent years we have been singing to Mothers, though previously we have sung to children. I have been torn which song about children to to, but I have stuck with France's co-winner from 1969.

If you are going into a music career, you have a massive advantage if you have a big nose, you can snort more lines. OK it may lead to a tragically short career, or a mercifully short one, depending on ones point of view, but at least you get value out of all you can snort events.

Nasal capacity aside, this is reasonably inoffensively radio music. It is not exciting nor is it completely boring, it is just... meh. Thats the only word I can use to describe this one, meh. Meh!

The bookies don't rate this as a qualifier and, though it might scrape through, I don't rate it either.

Ah, this is Euro-Vision
