I cannot be anused to compile a full ranking, however, watching them all live has revealed a few gems that I hadn't yet fully appreciated, namely: : Harked back to when the big Balkan ballad ruled the roost. Also Knez was exc. : Not sure why but I am currently living for the melody of the verses. : Utterly fab. Elina's saunter over to Stig after the first chorus was positively epochal. : The African chant-esque backing vocals during the chorus are divine.
