Making Your Mind Up?

OK so the UK are the last country to choose our song for Eurovision - I'm torn cos I don't think any of the 6 songs to choose from are really good enough to win, but then again I hated Lordi last year! So here are the choices and what I thought....

Liz McClarnon - "(Don't It Make You) Happy!"- The ex-Atomic Kitten star opened the show - to be honest is was an OK song but not really Eurovision enough - she has a great voice but her lower register was weak and she looked a mess - her dress and hair were awful - not memorable enough - sorry

Brian Harvey - "I Can" - Well no, actually, you really can't! He didn't sing in tune and shouted the power-notes - it was a mess and he looked really uncomfortable - horrible.

Big Brovaz - "Big Bro Thang" - was a great performance - not entirely sure it's a classic Eurovision hit tho. The girls' voices are amazing but I'm not sure if Europe will get the funky/R&B/rap/rock thing - it will do well in the charts and I really liked it but I'm not convinced it's a Eurovision song.

Cyndi - "I'll Leave My Heart" - A haunting ballad - a bit like Celine Dion singing Loch Lomond (a traditional Scottish song)!! Great vocals and harmonies with the backing singers - simple but nice - not exciting enough though for me.

Scooch - "Flying The Flag (For You)" - hmmmmm what to think, what to think!!! It's like Fast Food Rockers meets Steps doing Deeper Shade of Blue. I think they're all kind of too old to be doing dance routines and cheesy pop now - I was a bit embarrassed for them to be honest.

Hawkins & Brown - "They Don't Make 'Em Like They Used To" - Great song, i just wish Justin Hawkins was a better singer - he sounded weak next to Beverlei Brown. Really catchy song and it got the audience going - I think having him has jeopardised the chances of this winning, which is a shame cos it's a good song.

The results show is on in 30 mins - I'll be back with the result.....
