    “Possibly not one of my better ideas?”

    Au contraire – an absolutely superb suggestion! Hopkins could perform in a red dress emblazoned with a hammer and sickle, to shake off her far right reputation. Would go down a storm.

    We’d piss it.

    Once again, Lord Tatling picks up an idea and runs with it….quality.

    Haha, I do like to conjur up bizarre imaginary scenarios which would amuse me!

    For your enjoyment Ian and Tatling.

    I will leave you to decide if Katie Hopkins would add or detract from this.

    Thank you. Price just oozes class. Big mistake not to have her representing our green and pleasant land this year, even if it had to be via zoom from HMP Holloway.

    Hopkins parading around dressed as Ilse Koch could have perhaps improved matters a smidge, but its difficult to improve perfection.

    I should in fact be thanking you for reminding me of this aural and visual treat. How it came second in our national qualifying is totally inexplicable.

    I know. I voted over 200 times for it and it still got beaten! Inexplicable, as you rightly say.

    This was an outstanding performance from Ms Price – she is to singing what Stevie Wonder was (or would have been) to F1 Grand Prix driving.

    My ear drums bled for less than half an hour.

    As with Ms Hopkins, the lady exudes: caring, compassion and, above all, morality.

    Finer ambassadors for our nation it would be difficult to imagine.

    I cannot get that song out of my mind now. It might have been OK if they could have found someone who could actually sing.

    I must confess to feeling somewhat traumatised myself – and I had hitherto thought Marlingford was such a nice person, not the sort to post a video nasty at all!

    I am sensing a distinct lack of gratitude Ian! This video was posted with the best of intentions for you, and indeed the world, to enjoy. I will now no longer be posting all the songs from her album one by one as originally planned.

    You’re not wrong – and thank goodness for THAT!

    I’m going for a lie down.

    I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
    I've walked and I crawled on six crooked highways

    Move over Price
    Or change ’em
    Macron will win this
    He’s well connected to the vibe and got strings attached
    on the side.

    ” Hallo is that you Vladimir ?

    Comrade it’s you again and I am busy, what you got to say this time round ?
    I’ve told you countless times before, this is no war !

    Well, I just wonder where you are and I wonder what you do
    Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you?
    Tell me how to win your heart, for I haven’t got a clue
    But let me start by saying, I don’t agree with you.”

    Well yes, and this soundbite just goes to prove that he, Macron can sing like a bird, and far sweeter than Le Pen – she’s good with Amber Heard histrionics but has a history to hide and missing the Thatcher factor – that handbag and that dirty dozen all powerfull look.

    Macron always seems to pull something
    out of the hat.
    Fat better than any devious Depp,
    He’s got the necessary carrot loving rabbit and the wife to stroke it home !

    Tight but he wins it. Uncertain times!

    2nd semi-final tonight.

    Much weaker affair than Tuesday, and a couple of countries who get through tonight might be runners in the ‘to finish last’ markets for the big one (though Germany will probably go off favourites).

    Sweden should win this semi-final with no fuss, arguably the strongest song in the competition (certainly with Italy’s questionable staging).

    I’d have the qualifiers as follows:

    1) Sweden
    2) Poland
    3) Serbia
    4) Australia
    5) Estonia
    6) Czech Republic
    7) Azerbaijan
    8) Cyprus
    9) San Marino
    10) Belgium

    I think those last 3 spots are all up for grabs. Finland are a terrible price, Tuesday demonstrated that the jury punish weak vocals. They have been dismal in that department for the last fortnight. Malta’s song sounds so dated, and Emma’s vocals appeared compromised in rehearsal by a dance routine which was questionable at best. Romania is a borderline qualifier for me, it’s suitably camp and has an irritatingly catchy chorus.

    Of the remainder, Israel would need things to fall their way from a bad draw. Montenegro is bound to pick up some points with Serbia in this semi, but will be very reliant on a strong jury vote (indeed wouldn’t surprise me if 12 points from Serbia was the only jury 12 points to go to anyone who isn’t Australia/Poland/Sweden here).

    Georgia probably won’t qualify, the song could have been quite interesting but it gets too repetitive. North Macedonia has no chance, just hope she doesn’t get arrested on her return (massive furore about her dropping the flag during a photo chute).

    Can’t stress enough how bad Ireland are. They will probably come last or 2nd last depending on North Macedonia’s score.

    Summary: Laying Finland to qualify is the value here.
