And we continue...
MALTA - Gianluca Bezzina - Tomorrow
Ever smiling and tanned Gianluca next with his band doing a relaxed and some what retro feeling including song in the staging that fits it like a glove. This is a feel good song and crowd pleaser if things go right and might sail to the final. He also takes use of the catwalk. But who knows? I like it when I hear it, but pretty much forget it the second it's over. Will it get people vote? Who knows.... For me it comes across a bit over eager but then it's just me.
BULGARIA - Elitsa & Stoyan - Samo shampioni
This is a bit of a deja vú, but we have to remember the "normal people", that is not Eurovision fans won't propably remember they did pretty much the same act already in Helsinki 2007. Then they liked it and the drumming and banging brought then 5th place. Now they have added some "ethnic grannies" and a bare chested guy jumping around with a strange mask and indeed it will be a good show on telly, visually exciting. Only that the song isn't as strong and captivating as Voda was. But who remembers that? It might still work in 2013.
ICELAND -
Koza Mostra and Agathon Iakovidis - Alcohol is free
Finally some men in kilts, black and white. The stage looks great and surprisingly sober. Not exactly my favorite songs this year but it works on stage and will surely get the audience going. All in all this is much better than than I expected. I think I want to join in this dance.....
