Posted 5/Apr 2012 at 03:07 by Dez Bernardin. Topics: esc 2012 slovakia
Each day until May 12, I will (hopefully) review each country's entries in alphabetical order by song name. Today, we look at Slovakia
Country: Slovakia
Capital: Bratislava
Local ESC Time: 21:00 CEST
Artist: Max Jason Mai
Song: Don't Close Your Eyes
In my own words, this song is about: I can't even make out of these lyrics even in English, but I guess it's between good and evil.
Thoughts: Slovakia was in my top 20 initially, now I'll be damned if it qualifies for the final. Hopefully it will.
Result I want: 11th in SF2
Verdict: Really? Yeah, put them through so that they can sthu. 8th-11th place
Slovakia's back with the hot guy.
