  3. i still havent figured out why i “like” the bosnian entry this year: i know i shouldnt, and i know that it’s not just the whole “bosnia is back”, and i know the live looked sucky… i do think it’s the first time a song that feels “like early 00s esc” feels more nostalgic to me than just dated?

  5. Ana Rucner looks classy.

    Also if people had seen Rykka’s interviews and press conferences they would know she is one crazy girl – she does whatever comes in her head at the time in terms of her looks.

  15. And I guess Agnete won’t attend the opening ceremony either..

    My thoughts are with this girl these days, I feel really sorry for everything she is going through and I hope esc works as a way to cheer her up and make her feel better.

  20. Going to finish today’s press conferences and then take a break :) There is a good possibility I will be booking tickets for the jury rehearsal of the 2nd semi and spend a whole day-night in Stockholm amidst the eurovision which I am excited about as well :) If that’s the case I will provide you with a in-stadium report of how everything went :)

  21. Jamie Lee is incredibly cute and likable, her press conference was so nice :) And that acoustic version of “Ghost” in the end..Gosh she is so talented !

    • Samra should really take any WTF award. She is dressed like a June bug.

      I highly commend Rykka’s hairstyle. Much more interesting than the ones she has sported on stage and the outfit too. If you go decide to go blue, i say the crazier the better.

      Nina has turned out to be Stockholm’s resident dominatrix. A lot of the details in her outfits are inspired from Tudor period costumes which I find interesting (the collar on her famous Kabuki tent with the tree prints for example) . And then they blow them out of all proportion going all batshit, science fiction crazy. I don’t understand it.

      Ira has just announced she is pregnant on Mother’s Day. The lengths to which some people go to get the votes…

      • Samra is very strong contender for that coveted overall WTF Award other nominees being Nicky and Rykka.
        No matter how blue Rykka dyed her hair, it wouldn’t help. She doesn’t have personality strong enough to wear these outré stylings. She is that lost and sad Swiss girl, not that crazy cuckoo Swiss girl, they thought this styling would create.
        Nina is worst dominatrix ever, she is only punishing herself. From the very begining she looked a bit like that she is not up to the challenge. Now we know. She’s not.
        Losco may try whatevet stunts. It’ll still be dead on the water in the final.
