May 14, 201312 yr Author Quite a ballad-heavy first half so far! Four in the first thirteen. That's not too bad as long as Bonnie and Italy avoid the first half tomorrow.
May 14, 201312 yr Lithuania to be 4th in the line up. Curse of the 4 - have to agree with everyone else, I really don't understand the appeal of that song. :manson:

May 14, 201312 yr Four in the first thirteen. That's not too bad as long as Bonnie and Italy avoid the first half tomorrow. They're four of the strongest ones, though. Having the snooze fest (Lithuania) and Belgium (who's almost always on the verge of bursting into tears) in there won't help. If Israel, Iceland, San Marino, and Azerbaijaysus all qualify then they'd want to avoid the first half like the plague!
May 14, 201312 yr Author It'd be JUST VAL'S LUCK to SCRAPE IN and then draw the first half, wouldn't it? http://www.moopy.org.uk/forums/images/smilies/grin.gif
May 14, 201312 yr Author That said if Germany don't draw the first half I'd be WELL DOWN for Val OPENING THE LOT http://www.moopy.org.uk/forums/images/icons/disco.gif
May 14, 201312 yr I think getting to the final will be quite enough for dear old 'VAL'. (though naturally I would like to see it in the top 3, but AS IF)
May 14, 201312 yr Curse of the 4? Or is it performing 2nd that's meant to be a curse? (as in nobody has ever won Eurovision after being drawn 2nd in the final line up) I'm getting mixed up, aren't I? :D

May 14, 201312 yr I only think Lithuania qualified because there was no other song like it. There were plenty of dance tracks and ballads, but no guitar/rock pop songs A default qualifier perhaps? Anyway to get to the point - utterly dreadful song.
May 14, 201312 yr Just watched the qualifiers on YouTube now. Only liked 5 of them: 1) Denmark - It looks like she's going to win. Could there be a surprise winner instead? 2) Lithuania - I don't know why you're complaining about it. This guy was the most charismatic of the night, no doubt! I predict top 10, maybe top 5. :D 3) Ireland - That guy is ready to sing any David Guetta track. 4) Belgium - Bellarosa? Is he Italian? :unsure: I love this europop stuff, brilliant. Roberto's vocals are not that strong on this though. 5) Bellarus - The Shakira of Bellarus. ^_^ Great to see a little bit of dance music on the final night. The other 5 bore fest that got through just makes me want to skip the final night. <_<
May 14, 201312 yr 3) Ireland - That guy is ready to sing any David Guetta track. I think this is something of a back-handed compliment these days. As tired as the David Guetta sound is, Ireland WISH the production on their entry was as good as anything Guetta could produce. Some...interesting highlights of the qualifiers there overall Jason! Lithuania and Ireland are the clear duds of the qualifiers for me.
May 14, 201312 yr Ireland was definitely my favourite tonight - along with Belarus. It was either ballads that dragged (Moldova aside), or pop that was trying a bit too hard with the dubstep, as much as I liked Romania's track. Ireland's was just a really good little pop/dance track imo!
