Laura has no pressure on her – that’s the good thing. She’ll come on eighteenth and bounce her way into the final. It’s good old-fashioned fun with a capital F. It’s bouncy, it’s schlager, it’s gold and white, it’s 1970s, it’s HSM and Junior Eurovision.
None of those things count against it after the last six songs: meh, meh, meh, meh, meh… BELGIUM. The fact that it comes at the end of a run of songs that are somewhat mournful, shall we say, definitely helps it to stand out. Also, because it’s the last song, it’s going to be memorable. It will be the one that makes people go, “Oooh, that’s a bouncy song,” and it will be televoted for.
Expect this to be in the final on Saturday and get a decent draw. It could end up 8th–13th, which would be a good result for it.
