    I'll repost my reviews because I put so much heart and soul into them. :p

    Slovenia 2010 - It's fun alright but this is the musical equivalent of mixing chicken soup with strawberry ice cream, they just don't go together. Mind you, chips dipped in chocolate milkshake is quite nice.

    Romania 2013 - There is a little midget under Cezar's coat who grabs his balls whilst he hits the high notes. This totally deserves to be here.

    Croatia 2011 - Not a bad song at all, in fact this is my guilty pleasure from 2011. Might I add it was very generous of Noel Fielding to offer his services.

    Georgia 2012 - And the award for best polished turd goes to....credit where it's due it's more fun than this year's dross. He's like Ricky Martin after getting hit on the head.

    Switzerland 2010 - Hate it. Do something about the ears please, I have no idea what, just do something with them, wear earmuffs or something, I dunno.

    Spain 1983 - She sounds very agitated but who could blame her? I'd be annoyed too if someone stole my boat.

    Iceland 1996 - Whoops! Did someone forget to write lyrics to this?

    Portugal 1995 - Don't you just hate it when your maths teacher does Eurovision? Wouldn't call this a bad song, it's too forgettable to be bad.

    Belgium 1983 - That dance routine looks like their coat hangers are still stuck in the shirts they're wearing and they're secretly trying to fish them out.

    Sweden 1984 - Definitely one of the worst winners in ESC history. And has it occurred to these chaps that the only reason people look at them in their golden shoes is because they look like a proper bunch of twits? (It may be worth replacing that i with an a)

    Belgium 2011 - It's like the cast of Waterloo Road doing something funny in aid of Children In Need. Seriously though I genuinely like this and that is some mighty fine beatboxing.

    Germany 2005 - I like this song, in fact it isn't a 'bad song' at all just poorly performed. And what's with all the dislikes on this video? She came last place, people! What more do you want!?

    UK 2003 - Bit of an obvious choice, we ALL know this is bad. Even Chris sounded really desperate when he shouted to the crowd 'Come on Latvia!' I think they're as enthusiastic as they're gonna get!

    Germany 1991 - Those backing singers couldn't give the slightest toss, they can't even stand in a straight line.

    Spain 2013 - Shame on whoever sent this in, this song is my 2nd favourite from 2013. Love the dress!

    Spain 2008 - Ugh, trying too hard to be funny. Though I'd happily trade him for Keith Lemon.

    Italy 2011 - Wonderful song, I haven't the foggiest why someone would send this in. It's so classy and so typically Italian it makes me wanna go to Pizza Express for a nice big Four Seasons Romano!

    Austria 2012 - I love Trackshittaz, granted their 2011 effort was way better but this is my absolute guilty pleasure from 2012. Austria does novelty so much better than they do soppy cheesy love ballads.

    Austria 1988 - Shoot the tailor, that suit is at least three times bigger than he is. I bet it's just two kids in disguise.

    Israel 2007 - Who sent this one in? Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? This is a good one, love the dubstep.

    Finland 1976 - I didn't half flinch when he did those thrust movements, I bet he eats girls for breakfast. *shudder*

    Russia 2001 - Love this, so underrated. Eurovision has never been so creepy! How did Russia sink from this to Diva Bilan?

    Luxembourg 1980 - Aww, a song about a penguin? Oh how cute....oh my....oh my! DEAR GOD WHAT THE HELL! KILL IT WITH FIRE THAT THING AINT' GOING DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT!!!

    Montenegro 2012 - Was 2012 the year of singing the opening lines to your song whilst sporting a monk's tunic? Rambo is such a badass, I love it when he mocks the crowd cheering at the end!

    Turkey 1993 - Why is he dressed like an extra from 'Saved By the Bell'?

    Portugal 2011 - If you took the Village People and hit them with a truck, the outcome still wouldn't be half as messy as this.

    Turkey 1983 - You know, if you call a song 'Opera' perhaps you could forgive me for thinking that I was about to hear....well you know...opera! Unfortunately I don't think there is a word that can be used to describe what mess just went into my ears.

    Slovakia 2009 - The way she repeats his lines immediately after he sings makes it sounds like she didn't bother to learn her lines so she just copied him. Chalk and cheese.

    Latvia 2005 - Oh come on now you're just being rude, this is lovely! Definitely the cutest guys to grace the Eurovision stage.

    Part 54!! This should last into NF season :eek: Also, if each part was a contest, we'd have reached the daddy (& probably mummy too) of them all, Moscow 09, whose discussion is in the near-mythical Part 3...:p

    Okay, I declare the 5th heat of Fantasy 2013 officially open! I'm sure we all know the rules by now, and the list of songs that are off-limits is already up there in weedy's post. I'll be trusting everyone to make sure their songs haven't already been used, as quite frankly I have better things to do than trawl through the wiki 40-odd times just to figure out if a song's eligible. :p

    Entries close at 5pm on Sunday.

    Oh and if any other Fantasy hosts want me to make a logo for them then do ask. (In advance of course!)
