Eurovision 2014


Recommended Posts

I went into this supporting Conchita all the way but didn't think she would make the finals just because of all the political voting and the fact that many countries are still pretty stubbornly conservative. I would've been happy if she made the finals (bookies' odds had her out of the Top 10) but HOLY SHIT! Way to exceed expectations and silent the critics and detractors! Queen of Austria, Queen of Eurovision indeed!

 

It irks me when people comment that she won because of her novelty factor. Uh...have you heard her sing?! I found the background music to be too loud and it frequently drowned out the contestants voices and I was disappointed that some of my favourites: Sweden and Norway, ended up sounding not as good live as I expected them to due to that. But not Conchita! Her vocals were off the charts! She remains the only singer whose song I prefer to hear live than on the Eurovision CD version.

 

Biggest disappointment of the night would be Molly from the UK. I had high hopes for her and had really wanted her to crack the Top 5, it was an awesome song that she co-wrote and she was not some novelty UK act! What the hell happened?!

 

Biggest surprise of the night was that The Netherlands made it all the way to 2nd place. It was a good song but I felt The Common Linnets to be the poor man's version of The Civil Wars. Would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed that Sanna Nielsen (Sweden) didn't come in 2nd place. 

 

Bring on Eurovision 2015 Austria! And can we petition to have Conchita host it next year?

She already said she would like to. To be honest, we currently don't have a single TV host in Austria who wouldn't embarrass us badly internationally, so I hope they give her the job.
