May 14, 201312 yr Lithuania? Really? REALLY? :unsure: :o @ balkanflop! I was 90% sure that Serbia would go to the final! Montenegro :(
May 14, 201312 yr Author Barefoot is pretty much the only similae thing about those two performances I can think of too :( NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT that Loreen performance WAS basically Sandie Shaw redux http://www.moopy.org.uk/forums/images/smilies/gggggg.gif
May 14, 201312 yr Lithuania are the only ones I begrudge a place in the final. I wanted Montenegro and Slovenia through, but it was a good semi overall so I don't mind. Semi 2 is much weaker, so I'll be more mad if anything good goes out.
May 14, 201312 yr I'll read through this thread and comment properly later but my main thoughts at the moment are such a fantastic quality show in terms of production and songs, I really liked Lithuania's performance so I am very glad he qualified as I predicted him to. Very shocked about Serbia and a lesser extent Croatia, but glad that Estonia made it! :wub: And nice to see The Netherlands and Belgium too qualifying! :cheer: Denmark really did look and sound like a winner and Russia was also very very good. Ukraine wasn't quite as good as I expected unfortunately, but was still firmly in my top 10.
May 14, 201312 yr Author I'd have been perfectly happy with those results if you'd swapped out Estonia and Lithuania for Serbia and Montenegro. Lithuania's entry is going to be SUCH filler, on a par with Hungary's entry last year. Serbia and Montenegro would've been far more entertaining.
May 14, 201312 yr A fantastic show, really great job by SVT but then I knew the quality was going to be high. Love all the qualifiers with the exception of LITHUANIA. :manson: I mean, it's just awful, easily the worst song of the night. Favourite performances were Denmark and Ukraine, surely both top 3 contenders.
May 14, 201312 yr Pretty brilliant results I thought! 9/10 of my favourites made it (I would have preferred Slovenia over Lithuania, but it's no biggy) and 8/10 of my predictions after the performances made it too. I decided to favour Estonia over Cyprus in the end. Very surprised Belgium managed to qualify and I was expecting Belarus to crash out too, but I suppose out of the trashy entries, Belarus made more sense to viewers than Serbia did. Really shocked Croatia didn't manage to hoover up the Balkan votes though! Now to find Kleerup on Youtube. Bloody BBC 3.
May 14, 201312 yr Estonia 1st half Denmark 2nd half Denmark is going to be the runaway winner now :( Edited May 14, 201312 yr by *Tim

May 14, 201312 yr Author Aside: if Bulgaria, Romania, and Macedonia don't make it on Thursday (which could well happen...) we might be in for the first contest since 1985 with no Balkan representation!
May 14, 201312 yr Aside: if Bulgaria, Romania, and Macedonia don't make it on Thursday (which could well happen...) we might be in for the first contest since 1985 with no Balkan representation! All the points will go to Greece in that case. Well worth an each way bet...
May 14, 201312 yr Bulgaria and Romania are two of the worst in the whole thing but I'd love to have Esma in the final. The others can make it though if it stops Greece doing so well in the final, lesser of the evils etc.
