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:

1. BELGIUM. BLANCHE. CITY LIGHTS.
   All alone in the danger zone. Compelling.
   
2. 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’.
