Eurovision is finally here. While the acts were decided over a month ago, I wanted to wait until May to take a look at what was in-store. I'm sorry to say, this year doesn't look like it will be quite as crazy as last year. There are no pirates, puppet turkeys, bearded Frenchmen, or Bosnians carrying live chickens this year. However, there are a few stand out acts I've decided to share with you. These will by no means be the best acts, just the ones I thought were the most interesting.
10. Netherlands - Winner of three categories, campiest song, best suits, and best use of Obama in a music video.
9. Ireland - Irish grrl rawk! They seem a little old for this, but I also think Ireland has given up on ever winning again, so it's a good match.
8. Belgium - It was Walloon's turn to pick. Guess, did they go with a French power ballad or an Elvis impersonator?
7. Latvia - Random Latvian rock song.
6. Greece - Sexiest shoulders ever.
5. Switzerland - This is actually a pretty fun rock song, which means it has no chance.
4. Ukraine - After their first win, the Ukraine learned that sex sells and they're not about to give up now.
3. Norway - Cute... the song's alright too.
2. Serbia - Ah yes, the "we've already won once, we can do whatever the hell we want" entry.
1. Czech Republic - Super Gypsy!
