Semi-final scoreboard screencap: https://pp.vk.me/c621620/v621620269/245ed/DiOLHIhAx3w.jpg

 

Looks good!

Here's a video of most of Albania's jury performance, people are saying it's really bad but it sounds good to me and she absolutely got that big note. Maybe I'm just used to her live voice after watching so many performances.

 

 

The applause she gets after those series of big notes though before the song even finishes, a mini 'Suus'! :wub:

So the jury final for semi final two is underway and Lithuania have gone all out with their kisses!

spoke with putin just now it's true

That's going to REALLY piss Alex off considering that was one of his favourites! :o

he still had krista as his favourite in 2013 so you never really know.

Portugal are getting another chance at the end of the jury rehearsal, apparently due to sound issues in the original performance.

Could give them small advantage but still won't be enough to qualify.

Really hoping Portugal scrapes through somehow against all odds.

I've been critical of it and it's not the best song ever but it's a nice little number by a very competent vocalist. Would love if this little technical issue would give her enough pity points to push her through to Saturday.

 

A 27th place in the final would be such a victory!

he still had krista as his favourite in 2013 so you never really know.

 

Actually he suddenly seemed to think there were only 38 songs in that contest after the lesbian kiss :o

 

Internalised homophobia is bad.

Lithuania <3 hope they qualify now :D

The jury final will be beginning in 30 minutes, you can listen live or follow the live blog on ESC Xtra!

The 1st song hasn't even started yet. Going to be the longest opening ever no?

At least they are a bit more efficient this time, this afternoon the first song didn't get going till about 35 minutes past! :lol:

 

Tamar won't be providing us any exclusive action this time! :kink:

The big question is will anyone do too many "woos" to send Digital Spy into meltdown? :o

Just heard Loic during the Big Brother adverts, sounded flawless and I adore the thumping bass that comes through on the live stream!

Bojana and Marija Serifovic have just wandered into the press centre and are therefore in the background of the live stream! :lol:

I think Polina has got this, it ticks every box - fantastic vocals, fantastic song, fantastic jury performance, fantastic running order position (if a little late)!
