May 14, 200619 yr Great, thanks for these Rob. Carola gave a good performance! I'm still having doubts at whether Belgium are gonna qualify though, good songs often get overlooked in the semis.
May 15, 200619 yr Not a video but here's a view from a journalist from AKOE on the United Kingdom: Keith's view of the United Kingdom Posted on 2006.05.15 at 19:15 Current Mood: mellow I have to be honest here. I've been waiting for this to fall flat on it's face when performed entirely live and I was ready to dump on it from a great height. Perhaps it's the long overdue Fredo of the day, but there's not a lot wrong with this performance. The backing singers are always in tune and if I had to fault them it would be that some of them are trying to sing in a Cockney (London) accent and some are not. It's a small poiint which won't be picked up by most people outside the Brtish Isles. Daz is doing the same poses as he did at "Making Your Mind Up". This is now down to a subjective view of whether you like cheesy novelty rap or you don't. I don't and I doubt if I ever will, but this performance won't disgrace the U.K. and given some of the weak rehearsals today and songs with little instant appeal, might even scrape into the Top 10. Scrape? We'll be up there no doubt about that darl :smoke:
May 15, 200619 yr Author can someone pls put Elenas 2nd rehearsal here :D please :D I don't understand why you're so confident over it :lol: It's only ok...
May 16, 200619 yr Lots of good reports for the United Kingdom today from AKOE! :cheer: UK next on. This was a good rehearsal for the UK. I watched it in the hall and then I watched it on screen to see what the camera shots looked like. Overall, it looked really good visually and the vocals were really good. I don't know why though but it did not seem as good on screen as in the hall so that may not be a good thing for Daz. Opinions definitely differ about how the UK will finish in this year's contest..Some think that it will win, others think it will come last! But one thing is true. Almost any result will be an improvement on last year! Off to Anna Vissi Next!! Peter Just a quick one before we go off to the British party. Firstly Daz performance was faultless just like yesterdays. I do laugh though when he does his silly arm waving but that’s endearing. After Daz was the Greek performance which was over the top and false, easily the worst performance of the day. The song was always a bit cheesy but her drama-queen performance totally ruins it. I’m sorry to say this as I’m having such a lovely time in Greece, but it’s true. Come guys I’m ready for your ‘I don’t know what I’m talking about’ comments, but you will know that I’m right on Saturday night! Bit of a rush now as i am trying to download pic and write and will head off to the UK party after that. United Kindom's Daz Sampson was almost faultless. A great rehearsal again if thats possible. This should do well based on the quirkyness and the difference from normal UK entries. I think its for the top 10 for sure and better if we are lucky with the votes this year. Greece was a huge disappointment for me. I love Anna Vissi and the song. But this performance of it just sucks to be truthful. Its a complete mess and the vocal was craoky and ropey at best. It will probably score well though overall, but its no winner!!

May 17, 200619 yr Hopefully Daz will do well-I've heard his girls live now and its actually very good :-) Anna Vissi on the other hand is meant to be doing some awful rehearsals

May 19, 200619 yr Author Good to see Sweden's Carola - Invincible A serious thread to Daz I think. She urinates all over Daz :smoke:
