23. Turkey - Sibel Tüzün: "Süperstar"

I liked this number when I first heard it during the semis. I have a thing for disco beats, I guess. And for blonde Turkish women with lots of tattoos, maybe. This would be better if she doesn't hit random high notes during the chorus.

Sibel and the back-up dancers form a star on the stage at one point, which is cute. As cute as the star lights and the star belt buckles on the dancers.

This is my third favorite straight-up Eurovision song after Bosnia & Herzegovina and Germany, although it's fifth if you include Lithunia and Finland, which the voters probably won't.
