    So. Bad start so far. We have the big guns coming up though - Serbia, Norway and Bulgaria.

    Aaaaaall down to the staging and how Nicky does on the night.

    Our staging is piss poor, dull and unimaginative every single year, so I'm not expecting much. :(

    Great song but Nicky isn't the right singer at all. Would have sounded better with a duo or group.

    I can't help but think that if you're singing about sunlight, your lighting should maybe resemble what you're singing about.

    That was very very good, fair play to him.

    It would be robbery if he did not qualify.

    In fact, I think he will make top 10 overall in the final.
