Miley Cyrus - She may only still be years-old, but the pop star has certainly ruffled a few feathers in her short time on this planet. When Gigwise asked a reputable pop journalist to describe the singer, the reply was "Obnoxious, precocious and she sounds like a year-old who has smoked 60 cigarettes a day for life".
Nicely put. And don't get us started on that Selena Gomez Youtube video. With a Lady Gaga-esque third album coming up next month, unfortunately there's no sign the Miley Cyrus pop crap juggernaut is going to slow down just yet. Generic to the point of nausea, her shallow ballads and phoney vocals are nothing short of a travesty. Arguably the lowest point of her already low career came in the shape of 's 'Do You Know' in which she embraced country music like a duck to an oil slick.
She even tarnished the reputation of Willie Nelson by appearing in a music video with him. Scratch beneath the surface and there's nothing there but millions of screaming teenagers. They should have introduced minus votes especially for them.
On paper they were a watered down, mock Steps, but as soon as they stepped out onto the Latvian stage things got a lot uglier.
They were so out of key, a wailing fox would have sung it better. Singer Gemma Abbey now works in a health spa in Liverpool. Geri Halliwell - She was bad enough as part of The Spice Girls, but embarking on a solo career in the ginger one's musical kudos plunged to new almost unparalleled depths. Humanely, Halliwell's career has now fizzled out. For well over decade, the Irish group have been churning out soppy ballad after soppy ballad with X Factor gimp Louis Walsh at the helm.
Their live shows are somewhat of a spectacle too. They involve the foursome sitting down on stool, then standing up, then sitting down on the said stool again. Riveting stuff eh?! Clearly it wasn't the case with Posh Spice. An odd entry with a Norwegian-Kenyan singer who sings part of the song, which has an American hip-hop flavour, in Swahili.
A Friend in London 's song New Tomorrow is very catchy. The Britpop genre was a recipe for success for Lena last year maybe he should also try to do her bizarre cockney accent. Kati Wolf is a bookie favourite. But why is she singing to a water bottle? Not a top five though. Italy participate for the first time since withdrawing in after 'poor ratings'.
Other theories involve political machinations by prime minister Silvio Berlusconi. The fourteen year hiatus means few remember what Eurovision was.
A colossally boring jazz number from Raphael Gualazzi , the best newcomer at this year's Sanremo festival , a domestic Italian singing competition. Forgettable operatic song by Amaury Vassili except for the one interesting fact that it is in Corsican.
The fact that Tellier's song was even partly in English caused such a scandal in France that it was actually brought up on the floor of the French parliament! Automatically makes it to the final as one of the big four now big five who pay for the contest.
An incomprehensibly bad song by Lucia Perez which sounds dated; the video looks like it was shot two decades ago.
