Eurovision Song Contest 2011 - The Grand Final (Saturday 14th May 2011)

[Majsju]

Where is Jimmy Jump when we need him?

[Corki]

Time for the final song!

[Majsju]

Ok, I complain a lot about sweden, but Georgia is so bad there should be a law against them.

[Corki]

21. Iceland - Coming Home performed by Sjonni's Friends

- a lovely story behind the song since the original songwriter unexpectedly died

- yet another song to sway along to!

- and I do like the song as well

- this will do well

- a good use of change in tempo, which works well

- good effort, and well received by the crowd

 

 

22. Spain - Que me quiten lo bailao performed by Lucía Pérez

- last year's winning position, with another big 5 country

- Spain last won in 1969

- a very, very upbeat feel to the song

- some good looking legs as well!

- but are her backing singers/dancers there to make up the numbers?

- a good performance, and I will add this to my list of dark horses

- and Spain rounds off 5 serious and good performances from the Big 5

- and another loud cheer

 

 

23. Ukraine - Angel performed by Mika Newton

- ah, yes, the impressive sand artist, the winner of Ukraine's Got Talent

- ooo...a small technical problem!

- and I think there is still kind of issue, as it doesn't seem quite correct...

- I am still impressed by the sand artist

- plenty of effort in the performance

- big vocals at times

- but not a very strong song

- the sand artist was better

 

 

24. Serbia - Čaroban performed by Nina

- time for a 1960s flashback!

- in terms of dancing and clothes!

- another song I don't know what to make of

- do I like or not? I really can't tell you

 

 

25. Georgia - One More Day performed by Eldrine

- you'll either love this...or hate this!

- and I fall into the love category

- remember, Lordi won it for Finland with Monster Rock!

- with the sound working properly, it does sound better

- though the guy who sings, did you see his nose? Well, the flat thing on his face known as a nose

- she definitely has some lungs!

[Corki]

And there we go! We have finished!

[Corki]

Just a few comments...

 

Corki's favourite song: Azerbaijan

 

Corki's opinion on best performance of the night: Austria

 

Corki's best feature on ESC: Ukraine's sand artist

[Corki]

Time for the one of many recaps...

[Niniel]

So, Corki, how do we vote? 12, 10 etc...?

[Ithillian Turambar]

What was the thought behind allowing votes before everyone had finished. Surely the earlier songs gain an advantage from that?

[dragonlover]

Ukraine - not bad song strange bu good sand pictures

 

Serbia - whoa feel like im in the 60's, good singer, catchy tune though

 

Georgia - the girl is a good singer but not a fan of the song

[Corki]

Voting procedure: it is up to you how you do it. I tend to say what my top 10 would be. However, tomorrow, once all the videos are uploaded onto YouTube, we will be having our own Eurovision style vote (see last year's thread). So, if you want to post your top 10 to make posting in DM's vote tomorrow, then do so.

 

See page 4 for how things looked last year on the commentary on the final.

[Corki]

Time for the interval performance...

[Niniel]

Then I`ll vote tomorrow. Azerbadjan, Hungary, German, Denmark and Georgien will for sure get some points from me.

 

Dragonlover - a price for voteing Sweden will be - Eric Saade!

Graendals fav - I was curios of what the text under your avatar said so I asked my friend who is from Finland. His phone did some spell checking and changed polstjärna to popstjärna.

[Corki]

Maj and GF - how on earth can you like the talentless garden gnomes of Moldova?

 

Though Maj is probably going to say something about me liking Georgia...

[Corki]

Oh, and I am totally uninspired and unimpressed by the interval performance

I don't know how often I'm under a pop star, not that I would have anything against that
