ARTICLE - Five of the Best from Eurovision 2022

Israel
Some of the best bits of Eurovision never make it past the semi finals. Its a shame then that the Israel entry I.M didn't make it further. Well danced and performed, with a catchy song. But he was on second in the song roster which is apparently death to anyone's ambitions. Its very camp, I think this gentleman might be 'player of the pink oboe.'


Norway 
There is always plenty of weirdness at Eurovision and Subwoofer's - Give That Wolf A Banana is one of the best executed bits of techno dance music with its own peculiar logic and humour. 


Moldova
Oh the dear Moldovans, I just love them.  Always coming up with something catchy, wacky and ever so slightly tongue in cheek. This is also great fun and uplifts the spirit. Here we have a song that's an ode to a train line the Trenuletul - as they tell you in the song - the train's route is East to West Chisinau to Budhapest!

Serbia
Now in terms of oddness nothing quite beats  Konstrakta - In Corporea Sano. It opens with the immortal line - 'I wonder what is the secret behind Megan Markel's healthy hair - I think that deep hydration is what it is'. Apparently the song is an expose of the appalling state of Serbia's health insurance. 

Spain
The key to an exhilarating performance at Eurovision is when song and routine come together and produce an all out blinder. Not only is Spain's song SloMo a corker, Chanel gives it 100% The dance routine is absolutely fantastic, it goes the full Beyonce and beyond. It's spellbindingly good.
