To The Dancefloor!
The Swiss and Belgian entries have been revealed midweek with interesting results...
It was revealed some time ago that DJ Bobo would be doing his stuff for the Swiss this year and he later announced that his song would have Balkan influences. It now seems that Bobo was lying because his entry "Vampires Are Alive" - yes, that is the title! - owes more to Ayia Napa than Bosnia & Herzegovina. It's a cheesy club dance tune that mixes his voice with some other bird's and, actually... it's not so bad! It's not a winner, and by no means a definite qualifier, but it's a bit different, cheesy tune with a good hook to it and with a good live performance this could become a competitor!
The weekly poll to find out fans' favourite Eurovision songs of the season so far hit its second week this week and Switzerland managed to gain a rather credible 5th place out of 15 songs! The poll was won for the second week by Belarus, with Iceland finishing runner up. Iceland!!! It's a terrible drog that Icelandic song!!! My favourite Norway has climbed up to 7th this week (whoop!) whilst my second favourite, Malta, came third bottom! Once again, I'm straying away from the collective fans favourites.
One country that revelaed their entry one day too late to be entered into this week's poll was Belgium. They will be represented by The Krazy Mess Groovers and their song "Love Power". Whisk yourself back to the 70s dancefloor and you're pretty much there! It's another cheesy 70s disco number, the sort of song you'd find on a 70s compilation CD that might fall out of your Sunday paper. Saying that, it's kind of groovy (they are Groovers, though) and I like that sort of stuff. So even though it is a bit limp, I think it's rather jolly all the same!
Next country to reveal is Cyprus, and in a year which is shaping up to be one of many just "average" songs, there's a lot of hope that Cyprus might come up with the biz. My hopes are still pinned on Georgia though - but more info on them in the coming week!
