Doing The Omoralisk Schlagerfestival '13 (2)

So, let us look at tonights show, who will win? I have no idea. Personal favorite? Ah... um... Norway I would guess. I kinda like the sound of it with the electonic background and the stage show is nice with the lights in its simplicity. Feels somewhat like a Pierce Brosnan James Bond movie theme. Others that are ok is Denmark, France and maybe Finland (even though the music video made the whole song feel like a Katy Perry song). I might even go as far as saying Armenias song is alright. Although that probably has more to do that Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath fame wrote it than anything else (I must say that the singing voice isn't that great and the chorus is kinda let down, but good guitar solo) and sadly I think that due to that it pushed the really good rock song from Albania out of the competition. So already, wrong song won.

Then we have the strange once, the once I don't know how they won the semi-finals. Take Romania, an opera singer. He's clearly a good singer, the falsetto (or is it soprano? I should probably not talk about music I don't know about) in the chorus kinda ruins the song for me as there is no "force" behind it, in lack of better words. Then we have Germany who sounds a lot like last years Swedish winner. And when we talk about Sweden our own song is... meh! I don't know, it's not bad, but is it good? I don't know, it's not my cup of tea. And lastly, the Netherlands... again, not a bad song, but it's so slow, I don't know how it went this far.

So who would win? It seems to be a battle vetween Norway and Denmark which is problematic cause if we take in consideration the voting blocks all five nordic countries participate, meaning who would we vote for? The chanse for a nordic victory might disappear due to that there is no clear favorite oeaving this bloc divided and another strong faction take Up the pieces, like France. Then the question is... who would the former Yugoslavien republics vote for without a single one of them making the final? Really, it's up in the air, but I say Norway due tp preference even though they won just a few years back that might put Denmark in a better position. And no, Greece will not win even though that is a catchy chorus. Just less than four hours until it begins and up to eight before the result is in. Damn I hate myself sometimes.
