Best Winner of the Barbara Dex Award... 12 days to go!!

You don't know what the Barbara Dex Award is? Get out. GET THE FUCK OUT. It's only the single most best award during Eurovision. Who cares about winning when you can win the Barbara Dex?

So this award is handed out to the WORST DRESSED artist, named after Barbara Dex who competed for Belgium in 1993 and made her dress herself...

such a pretty frock...

These days the award has really established itself, and well Guildo Horn and Michalis Rakintsiz aside, there is only one real stand out favourite for me. And no, unfortunately it wasn't around when Celine Dion performed...

Yes my winner has one of my most "WTF" moments in Eurovision history, and yes it's a very recent contestant so there's more of a discussion about art rather than fashion faux pas...

BUT YOU DO NOT USE DREDS AS A NECKLACE. I'm sorry, but the earring, the hair around the neck, the most awful dress, it just pretty much sums up Suus...

A hearty congrats to Rona Nishliu for being the worst dressed artist at Eurovision since 1997.

Albania - 2012

Rona Nishliu represents Albania, with the song "Suus"

I keep trying to like this song, but I just can't. I listen to half of it and then can't bare to hear the other half. It's another ballad, and so again, perhaps I am being overly critical because there are so many ballads this year, but all in all, this is just poor. It's not the fact that it isn't in English because I have said, I do love Spain, Slovenia and Bosnia & Herezegovina this year...its more to do with the fact that this song is just poor.

Albanians know of her, as she is a radio presenter and former reality TV contestant, but Europe doesn't really know her. So will the draw help her out? Probably not...5th in the first semi final. How about Albania in Eurovision? Well since their debut in 2004, they have not qualified in 3 out of the 8 contests, which is pretty fair going. When they get in the final, they fail to set the world alight, but have achieved 7th (even though that was their debut). So chances of qualifying? Small...but then again, the number of ballads in the first semi final is a lot smaller than that of the second, so that could help Rona out. Anyway, Good Luck to her for 7 days time! Yes, just 7 days now folks!
