I saw her at Manchester Pride last year, and her vocals were spot on. As with many artists, it depends on the day (Or with Lee Ryan, doesn't matter on the day)
The general vocal accuracy standard within the Contest nowadays seems to be quite lower than existed in the 80s and 90s - which seems to be proportionate to how much bigger the Contest has become and how pressurised it's become for performers.
The north West and North East voting bloc is quite strong too mind
OK, you may number about 20 at the moment, but there's 3 of us now .... and we're growing by the day (ok it's taken a few years to get to 3 but we're growing!)
Bagsy be the Balkan bloc and you can be the Baltic one?
And why the rolleyes smiley. They are as good as any of them, from what I have heard.
I heard the Romanian and Swedish entry Loreen Moss messed up or changed the lyrics, I know Russia were crap because they are actually crap and cant get worse. If it was not a bunch of cute old ladies singing it, it would not have made the final# novelty act.They should have had a cute dog on stage with them to clinch it.
What was the awful Albanian entry like, screech heaven I bet.
As for the hump I am looking forward to seeing the youtube video. The guy can sing and the song is ok.
I hope none of the laments win, awful.:eek:
Definately think Jedward will be in the top 3, it will be a jjoke if The Grannies win, sad for E.H. going off key, the man has a great voice and the song is good. Like Sweden but don't think it will win.:)
Ooh, we have another Suffolker! NightFox Dancer also hails from there, but she can frequently be seen in Chapelfield Norwich too
Our DS Eastern Bloc is growing by the day
I spend far too many of my Saturdays in Norwich - shopaholic! I'm a bit of a retro Castle Mall girl at heart though Shame so many shops in there keep closing!
Thank goodness there are some other Eurovision fanatics around these parts...everyone I know thinks i'm a wee bit nuts with my Euro love!

This is like the break down of the Soviet Union. 'And Norwich gives 12 points to Ipswich' BOOOOOOOOOO

I'm a Suffolk girl too! I also love shopping in Norwich! Where are you from??? :eek:
Her performance of Angels last year was heartbreaking...
I haven't got a clue - my memory at times is brilliant but this is not one of those times!
I get misty eyed when I think of the little wave she does from the cable car in the video.

Last year's was a sad year. My favourite was France but he flopped badly in the final. And then Maja Keuc.

You will be welcomed with open arms

Yep the Baltic bloc
and me, first time since 2000
OMG, there'll be a thread on that soon ... "It's a FIX - they've already done the voting, I heard it with my own ears"
How is the voting going by the way?
Don't tell me Anke is in Baku???
In other news a man in the pub has just bet me £10 that UK finish higher than Sweden!!
It's not political voting, it's cultural - Suffolk and Norfolk share the same ..... tractors?
Have you got his phone number?! That's a bet I'd take in a flash
I think Anke's giving the German points out
FYR Macedonia are storming it, followed by Azerbaijan.
Estonia are last.
Is it silly to be pleased for Kaliopi? I know, I know
