HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Well I've done really well haven't I? 6 months without a single post is quite an achievement. I'm sure all two of you have been very disappointed.

So gone is the NF season of 2011. Gone is Melfest 2011, MGP 2011, the other MGP 2011 and a whole heap of others that we pretend we like as much. So has this season given us the results we wanted?

Surprisingly yes. Although initially it felt very disappointing, in retrospect the general quality of this year is actually fairly strong. Central Europe is finally growing some balls and sending sone real gems (I'm looking at you Hungary, Slovakia and Slovenia), while the countries you wouldn't expect to be less than perfect (Greece, Turkey) suspiciously are this year, though they're by no means bad songs.

And then there's the UK. It seems that odd numbered years could end up being our stronger ones (in contrast to Belgium). I almost cried when I found out that Blue were doing it. I'm not even a fan, I was just ecstatic that we weren't going to send a turd! I do love this song and it's definitely got a shot at the top 5. Anything less than 10th would be a disappointment which is an amazing thought in itself.

And Italy! That's weird, right?! They're actually back! Honestly never thought I'd see that in my lifetime! Not the best of return songs though.

So yeah, 2011 is pretty decent. I really do think that Sweden have it in the bag though no one seems to think. He's got the whole package, he just will win!

Who knows, maybe I'll write another bit of Blogger goodness before the next one comes along. Well you never know.

No I probably won't.
