The longest day begins...

So here we are at the start of the longest day of Eurovision 2013.  All 17 countries from Semi 2 rehearse today, which means 30 min run throughs for each and then 20 minute press conferences an hour or so after each one finished on stage. 
That means that we're going to be in the press centre until around midnight tonight!  Thankfully there's a nice restaurant here, and we have tippy-tap tap water to sustain us...

Yesterday our favourite Belarussian Supermodel/Eurovision Artiste treated us all to goodie-bags filled with enough sugar encrusted sweet things to send any diabetic journalists into orbit somewhere around the planet Solayoh!

How very generous, you might think, until you took a closer look at the sell-by date on the back of the packaging...

Naughty Belarus!

It wasn't just Jedward who were ecstatic with last night's Semi 1 results!  9 of the 10 I predicted got through, and the one I got wrong was Austria, with the fabulous Hungarian song going through instead (and that was one of my faves anyway). Apparently Romania had huge problems hearing their track in their in-ear monitors, so they were relieved to get through.  They drew to sing in 14th position. We got some interesting insider info via some delegations at the after party (which finished at 6am this morning!!!).  Apparently the Icelandic 12 didn't go to Denmark as expected, but to Cyprus!  Fab performance from Ivi, and I see this going Top 5 on Saturday. We also heard that the Cypriot 12 did not go to Cypriot singer Eleftheria, who is singing for Greece, but to Albania, and the amazing Rona, who delivered a fantastic performance which had the audience on it's feet. But it was Gorgeous Pasha from Moldova who had the best luck of the night

I Love Belarus!

Well, I love all their sugar, and those nice blue cocktails that they were serving at the party they held last night at any rate. Here's the fab girlies from Serbia.  I just LOVE  Sara's smile (the one next to me). Me and Juha looking like a Finnish Comedy double-act!  With the lovely Jody and Monty!
