Why does tone deaf Relley still have a seat? In fact Saara was better than the majority of those sat down. As for the baying mob that couldn't appreciate a bit of culture.

Hopefully a return to UMK 2017 is imminent.
So right! I really liked Relley a couple of years back (I didn't even realise it was the same person until tonight) but she's absolutely horrendous this time around. Why she got a seat, I have no idea.

I don't know what Simon was on about, she'd gotten worse in the time since! It's also unfair to the acts that Sharon got away with missing like half of the auditions while she was busy sorting Ozzy out or whatever she was doing.

The editing made a big deal of Nicole taking an invested interest in Saara so if she does get to pick a wildcard, I reckon she still has a chance.
Saying that, why didn't she come out and do "No Fear" complete with full choreography?!

On a side note, I didn't know Saara was a lesbian and recently got engaged....congrats to her and her fiancé

The wild cards are the choices of the other judges, so you might not be too far off on that front! I was hoping for a blast of No Fear when they put her on the spot.

Because No Fear is an unmitigated racket

Oh good for her! At least if she doesn't go through she still has something

A brutal week for the King, had to suffer a few rejections before settling on the slight calypso vibes to this revamp.

Thank you Only_You.

I've been performing really well in the fantasy so far bar Disney so I was bound to flop at some stage.

My apologies, thanks for the clarification

As for Saara....yay!
But no way is Sharon going to pick her at JH though as she already admitted she doesn't connect with her singing

Armenia's 3 month Eurovision boot camp starts October 1st.

http://www.1tv.am/en/program/Depi-Evratesil
Just giving people an heads up that I will be attempting to do the NF revote contest again for 2017 culminating in a DS Eurovision 2017 Final (although I of course won't be doing revotes for each individual heat/semi-final)

I know it failed last year as I was attempting to get people to take an interest in the Moldovan NF about 2 months after it ended. But this time I will be opening each NF after the individual national final has finished. So hopefully people will be able to vote after watching each one live this time.

Anyways, more info will come once things get into gear which I am guessing will be Albania again over the Xmas period.

Brilliant isn't it? Works for every occasion, even more so since I've seen people using a rewound version of it.

I did consider entering Petula Clarkes new single this week, just to see the reaction! Katie Taylor would have been pleased

I think she did this on the national lottery at the weekend and I surprisingly loved it. I'd have given it points

The best part is that Petula Clark is 83 yet her latest song is far more modern-sounding than anything K*t** T*yl*r would ever have allowed near Eurovision

What a strange choice of a cathedral to host the opening ceremony. Why can't they do it in the town hall like every other host city?

Classic DS reporting, haven't even got a photo of the correct building!

And the whole holy ground hoo-ha isn't a problem since it's basically a museum now and isn't currently in use for religious purposes, hasn't been since probably the Russian Revolution. The main thing will be complying with UNESCO.

I think the cathedral is right next to one of Kiev's two biggest squares, which might have been a factor too as they need space for the red carpet, media/fans etc, and there's also talk of possibly having the Eurovision Village there.

They used the Maidan when Kiev hosted the Euros, but I don't know if that's off limits these days.
