  1. Interesting views guys…

    First thing – Il Volo are OPERA singers. They DON’T dance around the stage, it is ALL ABOUT THE SINGING! Shout mode off…the fact they are standing still will make the differences between them and Sweden abundantly clear!

    There was something lacking from the MakeMakes performance compared to the NF, not sure what it is…

    The male dancer is always going to be prettier than Edurne…to a gay man! lmao You leave Edurne to us straight guys…

    Arrrgggggghhhhhh! Ann-Sophie is NOTHING LIKE LENA! Lena was cute, personable, was watchable and fed off the crowd and they loved her. Ann-Sophie is a Amy WInehouse wannbe, too shouty and is cold on stage. Please stop these bizarre comparisons!

    I really hope that the staging for Electro Velvet is toned down – all I can think at the moment is Cilla Black! I’m leaving my judgement until Wednesday…

    Ah, something I agree with you all – France looks amazing and this has propelled Lisa Angell up the scoreboard so much! This could now be a top 10…

    I think there is more to come with Guy – I’m sure he won’t be wearing what he is now in rehearsal two and it will all be tighter…

    Isn’t it goose pimples in English (or Scottish) ?

    Martin, I really don’t think Guy should wear anything tighter. (Not advisable unless your body fat is in single figures.)

  3. Fatima, I meant to say that the actual performance would be tighter, not his trousers!

  4. Fatima says:

    Ewan, I think the arena reaction does count to a degree because the public are going to be more inclined to vote for something which goes down big in the hall.

    NO CAPES! Sucked into a Vortex!
