Belarus

Well, you definitely want rid of the fella on the left as the rest of them stink real bad. Pray they don't swap to him opening this as well as ending.

[Gavster]

Right, I have listened and I'm shocked That surely can't be them singing? I notice that they've turned the girls mics right down, so much so that they could be considered mere stage props now.

Qualification? *looks at chart frantically with a heavy pant and a sinking feeling in stomach*

I don't fucking know. I need some counselling!

[Akebono]

Only Mr. God knows... Maybe Uncle Joe too, but he can't speak.

I'm leaning towards Belarus qualifying

[MickeyPaul]

It's a dastradly plan indeed, gavin, methinks. Drown out the chicks who clearly cannot sing (I'm guessing they were made aware of the reaction their last performance generated) but it appears they've forgotten all about the fella with the strange speech/singing impediment. I think he rescues the non-qualifying bet as he sounds the most prominent to me throughout (I'm guessing he's paid for all this or summat) and I still think overall, it's rather shit, save for the wee fella's glorious, angelic, heart warming, last few seconds.

This one makes me feel a little more secure

[MickeyPaul]

I can't get my head around how bad they sound together. It's a complete mess. Like a pub sing song. And the taller fella could possibly be the worst singer in this for many a year so why the fuck they let him dominate I do not know. The wee fella's ending is the only decent thing about this for me. The rest of it is revolting and smelly.

2nd Rehearsal. Harmonies have improved, I'll give them that. I am a little worried this may qualify, but still hopeful that the broadcast feed will show them for what they are... tone deaf!

[Beanie]

Me too gav - I think it will just about make it - and I dont want to worry about this one any more. The bet I placed was based on the awful singing and now that that has disappeared to some extent, im getting out.

Thankfully Betfred(and a few others) are currently at 1.62 to qualify which has allowed me to cancel out the bet below (infact it secures a tiny profit)...

Another vid of this. That guy opening is sooooooooooooooooooo bad.

[Gavster]

Mickey, that guy singing wildly out of tune is my saviour! I need him to be at his finest tone-deafyness come semi final night.

[MickeyPaul]

He's been that bad the whole time. They sound bloody terrible to me when they sing together. Can the wee fella with his 8-10 seconds total, really save this? I doubt it. I can't even stand the song. The butterfly wings were a nice touch towards the end though. Or firefly wings. Whatever. Oooh, Cyprus did a firefly song last year. It's cursed!

Does anyone of you know who Robert Wells is (the guy "playing" the piano)? Didn't knew he was recognized outside Sweden (maybe he isn't)

[MickeyPaul]

Never heard him of, Ake.

I still think this song is dreadful. That guy opening (and dominating the song!!) as bad as always. He might actually be getting worse. Seriosuly, WHY is he there? And the girls still sound pish. And the wee fella still the only one worth anything in this. Oooh, that was his worst finish though I think.

[squallsquall]

I've taken a small positive position on this one now... I belive it'll qualify among all its friends.
