Looking at 20 year old Alexis take to the pre-Eurovision stage tonight, we hoped that he’d be good. He looked like he should be great but in fact he wasn’t.

Pete Waterman mentioned that Alexis was the least experienced performer in this year’s Eurovision competition and we felt that it really showed.

Although Alexis’ singing was passable, he staging and choreography were just awful. As our live blogger Gerard wrote:

Alexis describes his performance as “the best moment of my life”. Clearly he’s a virgin. Christ, I’ve had more exciting illnesses than that performance.
