Switzerland 2011 - Fräkmündt - D'Draachejongfer

Well now, you think you've heard everything from all the various qualifiers, but this little gem that didn't quite make it to the Swiss final managed to pass everyone by. Until now!

Fräkmündt could do with a little following up, I fancy, as they've got a bit of a look about them!

Azerbaijan 2008 - Elnur & Samir - Day After Day



Congratulations to Azerbaijan for getting their first Eurovision win at only their fourth attempt. I might not be the biggest fan of the song, but I'm not going to pass up the chance of a fortnight in Baku this time next year!

However, I do rather wish that they'd won it with their debut song in Belgrade back in 2008. When it was first announced that Azerbaijan were taking part I fully expected it to be either a mawkish Caucasian ballad or a fruity slice of ethno disco. I wasn't however expecting Elnur and Samir...
