May 6, 201411 yr Wow, congrats to San Marino AND Montenegro for finally qualifying. I had a slight feeling that Val might make it with Maybe in English but I didn't think it'd actually come to fruition. VERY pleased on that front. Sweden, Hungary, Ukraine, The Netherlands and Iceland through are also very welcome. Russia and Azerbaijan through again is a bit :( but mostly a good lot. VERY upset however that both Cake To Bake and Wild Soul fell flat, even if I saw it coming.
May 6, 201411 yr Erm Scott Mills, Grimmy is not next. DA QUEEN ROCHELLE IS NEXT WITH HER SHOW ALL ABOUT HER! :cheer:
May 6, 201411 yr Hoping these 10 go through - 1. Sweden 2. Azerbaijan 3. Hungary 4. Armenia 5. Estonia 6. Albania 7. Moldova 8. Ukraine 9. San Marino 10. Portugal 6 of the ones I wanted, glad my top 4 got through (knew they would) shame about Estonia though and my soft spot for Albania.
May 6, 201411 yr No Latvia :cry: The best song to mention baking a cake since McArthur Park :( Possibly the cringey lyrics had something to do with it :lol: Pity Albania, Portugal and to a lesser extent Estonia didn't qualify, but I'm happy to see some bland entries through as it increases Molly's chances of doing well. Netherlands though, whoah that is one seriously professional song, touching effective and just a bit gorgeous (singers or song).
May 6, 201411 yr Author I know it's not the DONE THING, but I am properly LOVING 'Shine' now REPRESENT! *.*
May 6, 201411 yr 9.0 | Hungary 8.5 | Sweden 8.5 | Moldova 8.0 | Estonia 8.0 | Portugal 8.0 | Russia 7.5 | Albania 7.5 | San Marino 7.0 | Ukraine 7.0 | Armenia ----- 6.0 | Netherlands 5.0 | Iceland 4.0 | Belgium 3.5 | Azerbaijan 3.0 | Montenegro 2.0 | Latvia Terrible! :cry:
May 6, 201411 yr VALENTINA f***ing MONETTA *.* With the exception of poor, brave Suzy (</3) great results all round. Thank GOD Belgium, Latvia and Moldova all failed, absolutely terrible! Sanna was the star of the night though!
May 6, 201411 yr Quite decent semi, very predictable results thou. I did my annual what I think will qualify list and got 9/10. Really thought that Estonia would qualify instead of San Marino. I guess when you try the third time you will get enough sympathy votes from the juries to qualify. Certainly a contender for the last place in the final. Sweden was the winner of the semi for me.
May 6, 201411 yr The Netherlands are now 12/1 to win - Dark horse of the contest? Can see the juries loving it and it seems the public do to [However to what extent is yet unknown!]
May 6, 201411 yr Donna was DISCO SPINNING IN HER GRAVE during the whole thing! I was thinking of the far superior Richard Harris version.
May 6, 201411 yr Have to say San Marino qualifying was a serious "Dayum! :o" moment. I'm happy for them even though vola was way better. I guess I underestimated the power of singing in English. Also chuffed for Montenegro getting through. Overall 6 of my top 10 got through. (7 out of 11 if I count Armenia in 11th) Which is pretty good considering most of them were my top picks. Gutted for Albania and Portugal though. Portugal clicked with me tonight for the first time and now it's gone. :( .
May 6, 201411 yr On Swedish iTunes, The Netherlands is #7 after the semi-final airing (and before that it wasn't Top 100!)
May 6, 201411 yr CAN WE NOT at The Netherlands. Worst song of tonight, so f***ing boring, not here for country-esque tripe.
May 6, 201411 yr On Swedish iTunes, The Netherlands is #7 after the semi-final airing (and before that it wasn't Top 100!) I think we have a serious contender - Bookmakers were placing them at 100/1 to win now 12/1 - Also they didn't seem convinced that they would even qualify, Fair play to The Dutch they have done something different which stands out due to its simplicity - Rotterdam next year?! :lol:
May 6, 201411 yr The Netherlands won't win, top 10 at best. Sweden ahead of Armenia in the betting is just *.*
May 6, 201411 yr Author Calm After The Storm is just lush. That and Val getting through more than made up for the loss of our Blesséd Suze for me.
May 6, 201411 yr On the other hand, I have Netherlands in the sweepstake. And I had Azerbaijan last year, two smashes in a year would be quite alright.
