Bulgaria and Iceland


Another little break in the songs to remind people how to vote. We also get a glance at the Green Room, with Dmitriy (who has been running all of the press conferences here).

Bulgaria

This is absolutely bonkers. Stilt-walkers and some screechy voices, although we have to admit a penchant for one of the backing singers (the one with plum-coloured hair), who is apparently the Bulgarian Tina Turner. We'd like to see her represent Bulgaria next year please. But back to the song. Let's be kind and simply say it's not going to qualify.



Iceland

Ok, we don't really like Yohanna's long blue, 'wedding dress' - we'd have preferred something simpler, but we love this song, and Yohanna knows how to play the camera. It's well sung and the dreamy backdrop is good. The last part is fantastic. If this doesn't qualify we will need counselling. A good reaction from the Russian crowd. A qualifier (please!!!!)
