ONEUROPE: Eurovision Song Contest news
Contests 2012 Host country blues?

Host country blues?

This is a case of host country blues if ever I heard one. Azerbaijan are clearly bankrupt by hosting the contest and to me the backing wailing doesn’t help this song, neither does her bridesmaid dress (someone give Eva her ideas back please!!), obligatory “fire” in the background but it certainly doesn’t light the fires within me.

Sabina looks like someone out of Desperate Housewives whose name escapes me but there is not enough genuine passion and too much wailing for this to do anything other than mid table respectability.
