Scooch Motivation

So it seems that Scooch are eyeing up victory for the UK (hooray!!) and have decided to have some sessions with a life coach. His name is Steve Miller, but I'm not sure if it's the same one who sang such great songs as Abracadabra and The Joker. Either way, he's quite good at motivational speaking, is rather unforgiving, and is very good on getting people to lose weight. Whether he can bring the UK victory though is quite another kettle of fish.

It's nice that they're putting in the effort though, as Scooch's potential chance of victory isn't looking particularly high with most bookies quoting about 20/1, 25/1 for taking the title. Likewise, the UK are yet to score from the OGAE juries. Basically, each Eurovision country has an official fanclub, the OGAE, and they all vote on the songs every year. So far, France, Spain, Portugal and Turkey have voted and the UK are yet to score. Belarus lead with 31, Slovenia follow with 30, then Switzerland, Cyprus, Greece and Serbia.

It's quite a surprise not to see any points yet for FYR Macedonia who seem to be rather bizarrely finishing top on some internet polls. This all seems to have occurred after it was initially announced that Karolina was being made to sing Mojot Svet in English resulting in the fans causing a stir after hearing the English version. Indeed it seems their cries may have been heard as the Macedonian delegation are now possibly letting Karolina sing in Macedonian and English. Democracy rules again!

But I do prefer the Macedonian version I must say. And if Bosnia & Herzegovina go English, well... I might just need some life coaching myself.
