    Ewan, is Francesco’s Gorilla definitely called Gerald? Or have you harked back to the Not The Nine O’Clock News sketch? And if you haven’t, has he? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beCYGm1vMJ0

  2. Ewan Spence says:

    Well… Ive been calling him Gerald since the first rehearsal at Sanremo after NTNON sketch hoping it would catch on…

    Considering how much Christer has been begging for autotune and prerecorded vocals, I’m amazed Norway found this loophole before their neighbours! The contest needs to stay as a live concert with live singing, otherwise they might as well just play the videos and pick the winner from the youtube ratings.

    But he has given it a name anyway, I heard. I just haven’t been able to find it out
