Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

How time flies! Just awhile ago we were still in the middle of national selections and song/artist reveals and now King Charles III and consort Camilla have officially opened the stage and tomorrow morning Norway's queen of kings Alessandra will take the stage for the very first rehearsals followed by everyone in the first semi-final until Sweden's Loreen. Finland's Käärijä will rehearse for the first time on Monday but was already ready and packed for shipping: Read more here.

Here it is! The incorruptible, infallible and most reliable Blogilkar's Home Jury made of people in their teens, 20's, 30's, 40's and 50's, mainly Finnish and mainly those who turn into Eurovision only on that one Saturday night, enjoy the show and that's it. Most everyone heard the songs for the first time so this was a true first impression judgement. And thus they had no idea about the fan polls, betting odds and trivial information and expectations. And boy did they turn those pools and odds around mostly, sinking some major favorites and enjoying some real underdogs. I will countdown the full ranking day by day until we have our winner out just before Liverpool is in full swing. This year I publish very few comments or opinions. Just the average score (we voted 1 to 10). In short this year is considered a bit poor by the jurors compared to for example last year and it may show in the somewhat low scores. Anyways: Enjoy! 29. SERBIA - Luke Black - Samo mi se ...

  Serbia has decided. Luke Black travels to Liverpool's Eurovision song contest 2023 with Samo se mi spava. Pesma za Evrovizija was surely a feast for boys, and for once the pre-contest fan favorite actually did win.  All in all Serbia's selection was clearly one of the better ones in every way: song, graphics, stagings. Well done! The winner is a stunning show, not so much a song so I'm not yet so confident the general televoting public will go crazy for it as much as fandom. We'll see! And the jury did some questionable votings but then what do I know? I'm just wondering what did they hear or see that I didn't? It's also worth noting Luke didn't win either jury nor televote but placed second in both. Jury's 12 went to Nađa (???) and televote's 12 to Princ. Princ (20.398) and Luke (20.070) ruled the televote as 3rd placed Dzipsii got only 11.582, and Filip 8.529. Results (jury + televote): 1. Luke Black - Samo mi se spava (10 + 10) 20 2. Princ -...
