SEMI-FINAL 1 2017
THE YEAR OF THE (MOSTLY) MODEST LONG DRESSES
or
THE YEAR OF THE POINTY SHOES
or
THE YEAR OF PLAITS
But mainly the year of: Why? Why? Why the bright blue skirt? Why the horse’s head? Why the wedding dresses? Why is Eurovision eating itself?
My vote:
- BELGIUM. BLANCHE. CITY LIGHTS.
All alone in the danger zone. Compelling.
- GEORGIA. TAMARA GACHECHILADZE. KEEP THE FAITH. Catchy.
ENCOURAGEMENT AWARD
A big hello to all the lyricists out there in Eurovision Land who excelled themselves in this semi: ‘so freaking beautiful’, ‘give me your body, let’s write a story’, and my personal favourite: ‘You make me feel like paper’.
