May 12, 20169 yr Just when you thought several songs so far have been rubbish, here come Macedonia to show that it is possible to come up with something worse.
May 12, 20169 yr Kaliopi bringing the VOX again, sadly she forgot to bring a song quite as good as last time
May 12, 20169 yr This chorus is kinda slaying me, and that final whistle note *.* YES Lorraine Kelly <3
May 12, 20169 yr 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:
May 12, 20169 yr 9.5/10 Serbia 8/10 Macedonia 7.5/10 Switzerland 7/10 Israel 3/10 Latvia 2/10 Ireland 0.5/10 Belarus 0/10 Poland Loved that, especially that last note!
May 12, 20169 yr 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------- 01 Serbia / Sanja Vučić ZAA - Goodbye (Shelter) / 7/10 02 Belarus / IVAN - Help You Fly / 7/10 03 Latvia / Justs - Heartbeat / 7/10 04 Macedonia / Kaliopi - Dona / 6.5/10 05 Israel / Hovi Star - Made Of Stars 6.5/10 06 Poland / Michael Szpak - Color Of Your Life / 6/10 07 Switzerland / Rykka - The Last Of Our Kind / 6/10 08 Ireland / Nicky Byrne - Sunlight 5.5/10
May 12, 20169 yr 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.
May 12, 20169 yr Kay Burley fan club queen x Her vocals were AMAZE, again not one of my favourite songs but she totally slayed that vocally. 9/10 Serbia 8/10 Macedonia 7.5/10 Israel 5/10 Latvia 4/10 Switzerland 3/10 Ireland 2/10 Poland 2/10 Belarus
May 12, 20169 yr The Macedonian song was atrocious. The Lithuanian entry is pleasant enough, but nothing outstanding.
May 12, 20169 yr Lithuania sounding pretty good and picking the energy up somewhat, I'm sure this will qualify.
May 12, 20169 yr Serbia; 9.5/10 (my fave of the whole contest) Belarus; 9/10 Israel; 8.5/10 Lithuania; 8/10 Latvia; 7/10 Poland; 6/10 Switzerland; 4/10 Ireland; 3/10 Macedonia; 1/10
May 12, 20169 yr Melfest 9th placer teas. Not awful but not great, he sang it well though. 9/10 Serbia 8/10 Macedonia 7.5/10 Israel 5/10 Latvia 5/10 Lithuania 4/10 Switzerland 3/10 Ireland 2/10 Poland 2/10 Belarus
May 12, 20169 yr Lithuania relying on gimmicks then, I see. Learning from last year that they do work.

May 12, 20169 yr 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01 Lithuania / Donny Montell - I've Been Waiting For This Night / 9/10 02 Serbia / Sanja Vučić ZAA - Goodbye (Shelter) / 7/10 03 Belarus / IVAN - Help You Fly / 7/10 04 Latvia / Justs - Heartbeat / 7/10 05 Macedonia / Kaliopi - Dona / 6.5/10 06 Israel / Hovi Star - Made Of Stars 6.5/10 07 Poland / Michael Szpak - Color Of Your Life / 6/10 08 Switzerland / Rykka - The Last Of Our Kind / 6/10 09 Ireland / Nicky Byrne - Sunlight 5.5/10
May 12, 20169 yr 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.
