Here at Eurovision Express we're always prepared to make sacrifices to keep you up to date with all the latest euronews. And tonight, in a bid to bring you our reaction to the first 5 Slovenian songs, we ditched the last Sunday Coronation Street and tuned into Spetdoma, some sort of chat/gameshow. We had to wait over an hour before we got about 40 seconds of each song!
Was it worth it? To be frank, no. Here's our initial thoughts and marks out of 10:
Song 1: Za svobodo divjega srca - a dull, drinking song, sung by 2 chaps in blacksuits called Skupina Langa who should know better. 2/10
Song 2: Kako je ne bi imel rad - really quite abysmal. And we're so over this idea of mentioning your country in the title of the group (Slovenia United, Gabriel and Grupa občanov). LT United - that was original in 06, and Bonaparti.lv was ok in 07, but Slovenia United in 08? No ta. 0/10
Song 3: Lepi fantje - another nondescipt ditty. Nice Slovenian name though (Mirna Reynolds)....not. 3/10
Song 4: Ni me sram - this was a bit better. Definitely more contemporary. Dennis was looking sharp-ish in his suit, which, if we remember correctly, he started to unbutton. The song was trying to be Justin Timberlake, but was a little bit rappy and not really memorable. And with a name like Dennis we don't think he's going to make it in the cut and thrust world of R'n'B. 4/10
Song 5: Extrem - a disco track, which wasn't bad, although Petra screamed her way through the chorus. 5/10
All in all, a poor start for Slovenia. Next week we'll try and tune in just for the 5 mins in which the next 5 songs are previewed. Things, surely, can only get better.
