Greece and Lithuania


GREECE -
You have to hand it to Greece - they know how to put on a show. Sakis, dressed in white, and his team of 4 backing dancers, put on a faultless show. The moving platform prop is used to great effect. It enables Sakis to jump on the word 'Fly', and then it looks like he is effortlessly sliding along the platform. Then all 5 performers lock their feet into some device that allows them to bend back and forward. And, then, as if that's not enough, the platform opens up to reveal the Greek flag beneath. We do prefer other songs this year, and would love a simple performance to win, but, entertainment-wise, this is quite possibly the best 3 minutes we've yet seen. So we could well be heading back to Greece next year.


LITHUANIA -
This is a well-liked entry, but it's not really to our taste. But, fair's fair, Sasha Son is one of the better singers at this year's contest. The feeling is this will qualify, and we'd be happy enough if it did.

Heading to Greece? It might just be this year´s Hero, as far as I´m concerned. Another brown entry from this aging mutton. Oh, the gay public will go nuts, as usually.
