I like Ukraine and Sweden the best. I've liked Ani Lorak for a few years, since she tried entering the contest in '05. I don't think "Shady Lady" is typical at all, the refrain is very catchy and unique, easy to remember. But of course, like the contest, it's all in the eye of the beholder. Sweden is kinda typical Swedish, but better than what they've sent the last few years.
I do think some of those wacky ones will get high up, as much as I hate it. They usually do. Like, Dustin the Turkey. A turkey?? What?? It's dumb, but you gotta hate something in the contest, that's what makes it fun. A lot of the music is pathetic, cheesy, horrible, desperate and so on. It's always fun to laugh at other peoples expense
