That final note. Yassssss
Not the best performance from Ireland, although I think collective Westlife "goodwill" should get him into the final.

 

I doubt it. Of all the Westlife members to pick from, the one that can't sing and barely ever had a lead vocal turns up to represent Ireland :lol:

Macedonia / Kaliopi - Dona / Another case of a ballad that I'm largely indifferent about, lifted by the singer singing the shit out of it. She really gave it a lot and even though I can't understand the lyrics, her voice does a great job of purveying emotion. Pretty good, but I am bored of the downtempo now, seriously. 6.5/10

07 Switzerland / Rykka - The Last Of Our Kind / 6/10

08 Ireland / Nicky Byrne - Sunlight 5.5/10

I wouldn't count this out, Crno I Belo was much rougher than this, while this builds pretty damn well. I'd love to see her through if only to throw a tiny bone to the poor Macedonians, who haven't qualified with a non-Kaliopi entry since 2007. Oh and it's also a good song.

 

And YAY at the final note.

Kay Burley fan club queen x Her vocals were AMAZE, again not one of my favourite songs but she totally slayed that vocally.

Lithuania sounding pretty good and picking the energy up somewhat, I'm sure this will qualify.

Lithuania relying on gimmicks then, I see. Learning from last year that they do work.
DAMI SLAY MEEEEE

Lithuania / Donny Montell - I've Been Waiting For This Night / EASILY the best song so far. Not sure what was going on with the staging though, it didn't work for the song at all and the camera angles were way too frantic, rather than the Iveta/Oscar controlled nature of the switching camera angles. Purely as a song though, as I say, one of my favourites of the year. Obviously very Swedish, very Darin and I'm a sucker for a OHHHHHHH section in a song. MILES better than the 2012 mess aswell. 9/10

You know, I'll give it to Lithuania, it's an achievement for them when they're not in my bottom 5 of this semi. Although perhaps that's just a testament to the overall quality of said semi.

 

And iPlayer's crashed. Damnit.
