I think there was too much expected of Lena and I thought she looked a little drained in some of the interviews I saw, so she definitely needs some time out now. I did like her last year, and this year's song has really grown on me now. ouldn't be surprised if Raab's already swollen ego goes totally out of control now...and maybe he'll pick himself to represent Germany. Although for some strange and inexplicable reason I still like "Wadde Hadde Dudde Da". Hm. <br /><br />Now that some time has passed, it's more and more of a puzzle to me why "Running Scared" won. It's not that it's a bad song, just a very weak one and that reprise was strocious. Well done Italy...and now we know the reason why Raphael did so well! Really glad to see them back and maybe this result will persuade them to stick around a bit longer. <br /><br />Can't wait to read your review and hope the two of you are recovering well from what must have been an amazing weekend :)))Laura (EuropeCrazy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00049762365144495234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810011721804766871.post-53380886516525444942011-05-17T13:23:55.790+01:002011-05-17T13:23:55.790+01:00Haha))) Lovely idea of publishing your estimates) ...Haha))) Lovely idea of publishing your estimates) Made me smile a lot :)<br />I've been talking to my mom afterwards and she also really liked Bosnia, Eric, Lena (though she hated her last year) and wanted to break TV on Moldova. I'm also was terrified about how off key France actually was.Damianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03521977616578475558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810011721804766871.post-73279057483323147452011-05-17T10:42:25.382+01:002011-05-17T10:42:25.382+01:00Great review!

Completely agree about the presenting.Raab's popularity is something I'll never understand- he isn't funny in German and he's even less funny in English.Have to admit I loved the opening though,although as Keira said- it's the only time he'll ever get to sing a winning Eurovision song on stage so it's not surprising he took all the limelight off of Lena.<br /><br />Speaking of Lena,the amount of love for her in Germany borders on the disturbing.There were programmes on all afternoon Saturday (and after the contest) discussing her chances etc.I couldn't stand her last year but this time around I just felt sorry for her.In one interview on Das Erste she said "I'm just so tired,all I want to do is go on holiday after this." We all thought she'd regretted saying yes to doing it again,but that decision was probably more to do with Raab than anyone else.<br /><br />Felt a bit sorry for Jan Delay too- nothing in the world was ever going to match up to Madcon last year!<br /><br />The more I think about it the more it bothers me that Azerbaijan won.Even Safura last year put on a better show and though the song was annoying it was arguably better.Glad they didn't run away with it though,it was nice to see Italy creep up out of nowhere.I like to think my waving of a postage-stamp sized flag in his line of vision on Friday spurred Raphael on a bit :)Raquelitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04356612792599674098noreply@blogger.com
