Fiercest Eurovision Ladies... 7 days to go!

WELL now the rehearsals are in full swing and we are just a week to go till semi-final number one. With 7 days to go I'm counting my 3 hottest Eurovision girls and as a gay man this is of course entirely hypothetical so please don't be hating on my choices. Enjoy...


#3 Eleftheria Eleftheriou

(Greece 'Aphrodisiac' 2012 - 17th/64 points)






#2 Zlata Ognevich

(Ukraine 'Gravity' 2013 - 3rd/214 points)








#1 Tamar Kaprelian

(Armenia 'Face The Shadow' Genealogy 2015 - 16th/34 points)




Favourite 5 from Malta

I should have posted this yesterday...but with 8 days to go, my favourite 5 from Malta!

Malta are one of my favourite nations in Eurovision. It's quite hard to choose a top 5 with so many fun songs missing out. Big shout out to Fabrizio Faniello, one of my faves... and Ira Losco whose teeny pop tune from 2002 doesn't quite make the list. I think in a year's time Walk On Water has a chance of making this top 5 though.

So without further ado, my number 5...

#5 1998 - Chiara 'The One That I Love' (3rd/165 points)




#4 2012 - Kurt Calleja 'This Is The Night' (21st/41 points)




#3 1994 - Chris and Moira 'More Than Love' (5th/97 points)




#2 2014 - Firelight 'Coming Home' (23rd/32 points)




#1 2005 - Chirara 'Angel' (2nd/192 points)

Favourite 5 from the 1990s - 9 days to go!

9 days to go now till Semi Final 1 and I'm excited.

The 90s were the best decade for Eurovision. Just so you know.


(This is more fun for me if I exclude the UK, because it's really not fair to include Ooh Aah Just A Little Bit and Love Shine A Light. They'd be in the top 5 any day of the week)


#5 Switzerland 1993 - "Moi, Tout Simplement" Annie Cotton (3rd/148 points)




#4 Hungary 1994 - "Kinek Mondjam El Vetkeimet?" Frederika Bayer (4th/122 points)




#3 Estonia 1997 - "Keelatud maa" Maarja-Liis Ilus (8th/82 points)




#2 Finland 1991 - "Hullu Yo" Kaija Karkinen (20th/6 points)




#1 Sweden 1991 - "Fangad Av En Stormvind" Carola (1st/146 points)


Favourite 4 from the 1980s

10 days to go!


#4 United Kingdom 1981 - "Making Your Mind Up" Bucks Fizz (1st/136 points)




#3 Sweden 1983 - "Framling" Carola (3rd/126 points)
