It's a conspiracy...

Once again NL has failed to make it to the "final" of the Eurovision Songcontest :-(

Last night 28 countries competed in the semi final for the 10 remaining available spots in Saturday's final. I watched a bit of it - I did see Edsilia Rombley's (NL's entrant) powerful performance (oh oh, starting to sound like Molly Meldrum!) and I liked it! What's not to like about a pop song sung by someone with a powerful voice, looking funky in an orange dress and accompanied by 4 sexy female dancers in white hotpants?

Anyway, rumour has it that the eastern bloc of Europe made deals with each other to get enough points to go through to the final. Not that far fetched considering the countries that progressed to the final are Belarus, Macedonia, Slovenia, Hungary, Georgia, Latvia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey and Moldavia. I feel a bit bummed that Edsilia didn't make it. I was looking forward to having my adopted country to cheer for on Saturday night. Now I don't think I will even watch it. Hah, that'll teach 'em!

Or maybe "our" entry just wasn't weird enough!
