Eurovision 2014 - 06/08/10 May 2014

Ana's doing the Radio 2 coverage of the Thursday semi, so at least I can listen to that instead of the sound of Mills and whoever Whitmore is. Ana at least seemed to try and commentate properly last year.

I really hope they don't pre-empt the interval acts, but I fear they will.

Of course I know who Scott Mills, but I've never heard of Laura Whitmore...

Use Google then. I did as I didn't see the point of broadcasting my ignorance to everyone.

1 week to go.
Rehearsals started today, but I don't think the UK rehearses till the end of the week.

UK don't rehearse for the first time until Sunday.

Yep - think they keep the Big Five rehearsals until later so that they can delay the arrival of their delegation (which reduces costs) As they aren't in the semi-finals this makes sense.

Yep. There's a full schedule on the official site which I can't be arsed to find at this hour but the big five plus Denmark rehearse in a block together.

Disappointing chart performance so far. Not even close to Top 100 on iTunes.

Not worried about chart placing now (lack of buzz), wait until either next week or after the contest.

Only problem probably is that the song is out a bit early.

I heard Malta's entry for this year for the first time last night and it sounds very much like a Gary Barlow song!
