Xena

wow, a bit of a gothic one here!
A Polish Cher

This is depressing

Shovelling snow on those boots how? And how old was she in 1995 she doesn’t look mid 40s

This is shite

Well, Poland had brought the mood down.

Interesting outfit.

I’m sure I saw that same outfit last year on someone else ! I remember the leggings

It's the generic sex-catsuit song we get every year.

Her neck gives it away

But shes got a dragon!

Michelle Keegan is a busy woman

What just happened?!

Oh, it’s still going ..

Ahh Poland, our first ‘skantily clad melodramatic wailing lady’. Didn’t take long!

Iceland don’t want to be called the new Jedward, but had some Irish vibes in there…

Now, I like gothic witchy and a bit different (I loved the bonkers Serbian handwashing woman).

This is just rubbish however.

There was your yodelling lol

Did she mug 'actual' Mika for his fluorescent highlighter suit from the other year?

53 according to wiki

Well, that last bit was a bit like a post-apocalyptic aerobics class.

I have her a point for the dragon.

That was her only point.

A stairlift! Lol
She was enthusiastic, I’ll give her that.

Poland: Justyna Steczkowska – “GAJA” - I agree Poland threw the kitchen sink at that staging, good vocals (given the dancing). Qualifying.

I'm a few minutes behind (paused as my daughter doesn't have her country rating page ready yet 😃but I love the suits/jackets. I love that they can be all snazzy and glam while wearing comfortable shoes and not showing every curve. I think it's very cool.

Two songs, and violins in both of them.

Poland a bi bit try to hard without actually delivering an actual song.
