No, I feel bad because I was rude to the theme of this song, and it turned out that there was a heartbreaking story behind it. My turn is to DRINK !!!

17. Bulgaria
Cheerfully addressed Growing up old, This is Victoria next for BULGARIA.
I can 100% guarantee that if you told me a nine year old I watch Bucks Fizz win Eurovision if I were to grow up blogging live in a newspaper competition in 2021, a nine-year-old would tell me “What is a live blog and are there any flying cars already?”

If you’re watching this on the BBC, that Danish guy basically just said “wonderful show,” right? DRINK !!!!

By the way, Erica also said they did a technical review of the score announcements last night, and the guy representing the speaker from Iceland insisted he would give only his twelve points Eggs to Ding Dong, and a lot of hilarity ensued.

Monks will know that sometimes we double these blogs with someone at the scene and someone at mission control. With Covid and all that, this year it wasn’t possible, however, last night I actually had a spy at camp. Luckily, one of my longest-lived friends, Erica Gray, was with her husband at the jury show / technical / dress rehearsals.

Erica, who is British, but has been living in the Netherlands for years and is now a citizen there, told me about the atmosphere that “What the Dutch do really well is vocal and physical respect for live performances. Lots of applause, screams and applause. The scenery, lighting and production are amazing. The crew is doing their ass. The Greek effects were very cool to watch on stage. The dancers ran behind the green steps on the screen to change. “
And of my loved ones? Erica said: “When the Ukrainian techno rhythm started, the crowd became mental.”
What else went well?
“Lithuania failed live better than I expected. Everyone loves Iceland. France got a lot of love. San Marino went a little straight into the arena. Sweden has a good past that could bring votes. Plus of course the geopolitical tendencies of voting. Ukraine really moved the Dutch audience, but I’m not sure about the audience vote. “
On whether she felt safe at the event, Erica said they “had a test in the morning. Results in 20 minutes. He then showed a QR code at the entrance to show we were negative. We had face masks as we walked through the arena. Because that they were all tested, it felt much safer than going to the supermarket. “
She said: “We both said that from now on we would be very happy to hold events like this. Less crowds. Much better organized entrance and exit. Lots of staff and volunteers to help and guide you, and a similar atmosphere as the Olympics among police, volunteers and staff. “

16. Finland
Linkin Park
Blind Channel are here for FINLAND, and their song is Dark side. There’s not much to say about this – it’s not Lordi. He is perfectly competent for what he does, I just don’t think that’s what Europe will vote for this year. Maybe 2001 would be better?

I don’t even know. The little one where the time signature changes a bit or the threes play or what already somehow makes it worse?
It is also an obviously funny instrument – DRINK !!!
