    The mix for Sanna’s song is better,much better,than the song itself and that says everything about the song. A weak and overrated song.Can’t understand why it’s so high on the betting odds.

    Georgia: Yay. That’s my faith restored for another year.

    Russia: The Ukrainian representative might be under worse pressure from the press for a soundbite to their liking.

    Germany: Although the fairytale/reactionary element might have had a distorting effect this time, I did like their NF structure and would like to see them stick with it.

    “Barton Hollow” has been on my HD since 2012, so don’t pretend you haven’t been corrupting the young (and aged) en masse

    San Marino: The language choice is not so obvious to me in this case. I prefer the English version until the spoken part, then I prefer the Italian.

    Oh my. I’ve just seen the video for “Coming Home.”
    A song I already liked just said I hadn’t even heard it yet.

    A PR masterpiece and a technical gem.

    I have a habit of sneaking in little gems for people to discover on their own – you’ll pay more attention that way. The Civil Wars is just one of many 😉

  5. Zolan says:

    Easter eggs. That explains so much 🙂

  6. Stormby says:

    Thanks for playing my mix of ‘Undo’. 🙂
