Gutted. Latvian entry for last night’s Eurovision Song Contest, Tautumeitas, barely scraped into the top ten, but I thought they were genuinely brilliant. They looked like sexy alien goddesses styled by HR Giger, the staging looked like a show by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, and the gorgeous song, Bur Man Laimi, felt like a folk song with beats harkening back to Bjork ‘s Homogenic.
Props to the ultimate winner, JJ from Austria, with his incredible counter -tenor vocals and song Wasted Love, but I personally loved these ladies.
