eurovision off 2015

Wach Auf ! #10

“Nooo. Not already !”

Last night after party wasn’t that fab, but the big 5 was starting its last rehearsal at 10am this morning, so the alarm sounded at 8:15, after 5 short hours of sleep.

So… First semi ! Well… That was great ! Loïc is among the 10 and it’s actually the only thing that matter to me. A great show but the standing area was too hot – on Saturday I wear a tank top !

I’m a bit disappointed we lost Moldova, Belarus and The Netherlands for the final. These eliminations are not real surprises, but I think these 3 songs will miss Saturday night. 7 out of the 10 qualified are ballads, including several soporific ones – note to say mournful.
At the announcement of Belgium, David destroyed my right eardrum and I admit I yelled too … Small disappointment later when we Loïc picked up the first half, but I still hope and think he can be in the top 5 on Saturday. Then who knows…

After the qualified press conference, we took the direction of Euroclub. Disappointment when we saw the main area was closed – at least for us.
I think delegates, do not necessarily have fun all alone, but fans and the so called press have to regulate himself a bit. If artists could breathe when they just want to relax and have fun, there would be no use to split parties…
The general public was piled up in the small concert area. The female Czech singer was in the room. And the lady knows how to do it ! The local band that followed her a bit less…

I was introduced to one of the French drummers – the 3 other ones were there too, one of them is pretty hot…

Given the day lying ahead, we left shortly after 2am.
Not a big after party to summarize.
