Episode 08 - Mullets and Acrobats

It’s all happening in Episode 8: a cosmic princess on a bendy stilt, men wearing grandpa knickers, and incredibly well-rehearsed barstool choreography. What more could you want? Kate Miller-Heidke starts things off in style with a perfect mix of pop, opera and madness, before Armenia’s Sirusho delivers a dance-floor filler. We are also enchanted by the folky vibes of groundbreaking Åsa Kleveland performing in Eurovision’s first ever trouser-suit and fondly discuss the legendary Carrie Grant, judge on the brilliant Fame Academy, who represented the UK back in 1986 as part of pop trio Sweet Dreams. The iconic Go_A’s Shum is a worthy entrant in the bridesmaid slot and we particularly celebrate the song’s ding moment, while we consider Cyndi to be a better choice than Scooch to go to Eurovision in 2007 even if she does strike us as a serial plagiarist! Thanks to JonWatt867 for this recommendation. Finally, the Randomiser is chaotically on brand taking us back to 2005 for an obscure Croatian entry about wolves dying alone. All life is here, including lots of mullets and acrobats. You have been warned!
