    I am extremely disappointed by Montenegro’s presentation. I had hopes that it would be interesting, not a thoughtless jumble fit only to be ignored.

    Valentina looks good on stage, and she has the vocal ability to sing well and throw herself fully into the choreography. The stage performance works better than the official video.

    Ewan: “Iceland can stage a Eurovision song.”
    Oh yes. And it was already wonderful to start with.
