Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

 Eurovision thing contest! The jokes about Finland continued culminating in the interval act with a look how things may have happened in Helsinki (well, they mean Tampere...) had we won with people having sauna with Moomie whil Ievan polka plays and then comes in Käärijä for some Cha cha cha. Not no! Things didn't go that way. But the Swedes just lobe Eurovision so much. Another great and fun and lighthearted interval act created by Edward af Sillén and Petra & co. Just wonderful. I just laughed out loud when that section started. Great stuff!  The opening with Tattoo solarium was such fun, too! Less great the Allsång/karaoke thingy with Helena Paparizou, Charlotte Perrelli and Sertab Erener. I don't want to comment anyone's looks generally but what has happened with Helena and Sertab? make up team went wild or did they both go under same knife?  It was so nice to see bits of all those old entries, either big names that never made it or who scored null of badly plus t...

They started with a bang: Latvia! Against all odds he did it and he deserved it, too. Maybe tonight's bext performance vocally and no thrills performance. Latvia's last final was in 2016 so it was about the time, too! Next favorites Austria and the Netherlands. I think both performances were nothing much. Worst vocals - the little that was live - by both. Austria's choreography is also so busy it has no meaning nor sense. Norway and Israel next as expected. Israel's result will be interesting to see once the figures are out. Did they win this with landslide or did they barely make it? Update on that above: Iatlian Rai accidently published their televoting scores. Israel scored 39,31%. Second was  Netherlands with 7,32% Greece and Estonia announced before next big favorite Switzerland, then sadly Georgia and finally Armenia, so Belgoium was out. No wonder. I do like the song a lot but the staging didn't work. I hoped for San Marino until last but no. Same for Denmark...
