The ESC Juniors have finished the semi-finals Written by on May 10, 2013

Over on www.escjuniors.com, Eilidh (10) and Mairi (8)  have finished their reviews of all the semi final songs. What do the kids think of their chances?

Working through one song a day, the ESC Juniors haven’t had any direction from their Dad on the songs – they’ve simply watched the official preview videos, written down their thoughts, and given each song a score out of five unicorns (yes, they did like the Ukrainian video before you ask).

They’ve just finished reviewing all the semi-final songs, so if you want to see where the pester power for parents to vote might end up this year, look no further than www.escjuniors.com.

About the ESC Juniors:

ESC Juniors is all about the Eurovision Song Contest, but from a child’s point of view.

We’re Eilidh (10) and Mairi (8), and our Dad is always talking about Eurovision. He goes flying around the world, watching shows, interviewing people, and writing on his site.

We have to listen to him playing all the songs over and over again. Some we like, some we don’t, and we don’t always agree with him so we want to let you know what we think!

Head on over to www.escjuniors.com to see what they think of all the semi-final songs, and where the host country and Big Five will end up in the unicorn ratings. Comments are welcome there as well as here, but they will be moderated before going live.
