No sign of rock monsters this year. Just a techno-euro-pop affair which will have discos and nighclubs around Europe going for a while.

Slow exgagertaed walking with enphasised wiggle. Beautiful amazonian tall women who would probably tear off your head with their teeth. There’s something a little bit scarey about them. Like their neighbours Bulgaria, they seem to have a horse things going on too. Must be horse season in the Balkans perhaps.

Iceland! Land of fire, ice and beautiful women singing with huge smiles. Can’t help but fault the traditional sound of Eurovision in this one!

Their entry this year is song …

Belarus here. A place shunned by most of Europe. However in the spirit of Eurovision all are welcome. So here’s their entry for 2009 sung by Petr Elfimov, “Eyes That Never Lie”.
