A rather mixed bag this contest - some excellent pop fare like ex Swiss big-brother contestant Tanisha's My Little Freaky Boy, through old-fashioned Italian tenor Luciano de Soria, talentless and hopeless Marc Neff & Friends, acapella A-Live and bizarre nonsense in German from Nina Dimitri. A special mention also to Fuego Latino by Amanda, a nice lively Latin-inspired number, even if we have heard too many of those of late.
A two stage contest - votes took it down to 3, there was a circus act (!) and then there was more voting (no more performing!) There was also an appearance by Lys Assia (pictured below the score table)
I wanted Tanisha to win, but we will see Francine Jordi (left) perform her own song (Francine Lehmann is also her name) Dans le jardin in Tallinn. A sort of schlager, it reminds me of German Michelle's song last year, but isn't as good. Old-fashioned, but creditable. I wish her well.
