Iceland and Greece

Iceland -

We've made no secret of the fact that this is our favourite song in the Contest, and Yohanna does not disappoint. This is amazing. A great cloudy setting, and very good camera work. And, towards the end, this song is in a league of its own. This song deserves to win the Contest - we hope that the rest of Europe agrees. A very good reaction. Vote Iceland!


Greece -

Greece has a good draw here, coming after a lot of ballads. There's no denying that Greece knows how to put on a show - moving platforms that create a playground for Sakis and his dancers. If it were down to televoters alone, this would probably be our tip for top, but we're wondering if the juries might have had enough of these elaborate stage acts. It could win - it's a good song after all, but we think there are other songs in the competition more deserving of victory.
