May 9, 20178 yr What happened to Belgium?!!! I'm not familiar with any of the others at all but Mr D* has been playing Blanche for weeks and I have reluctantly given in to it... and then the performance today was just so nothing, what the hell are they thinking?
May 9, 20178 yr Armenia will be top 5 on Saturday night with strong potential to finish top 3. I'm thinking that now. Top 5 with Italy, Portugal, Bulgaria and one other. After this semi I'm even thinking the UK has a chance going by Lucie's rehearsals.
May 9, 20178 yr Oh my God it's Janis Ian all growed up! So true :lol: I sort of wish Katy had come back with this look...

May 9, 20178 yr 18 Latvia / I'm on the fence about this. There's a very good song in there somewhere and I highly suspect it would come across much better in studio version but it's not completely hitting the mark for me. I like her and the staging so they're not the programme, it just feels like it should have a stronger, more punchy hook but it's a tad underbaked. Unsure. 7/10 FINAL RANKINGS: 01 Finland 9/10 02 Sweden 8.5/10 03 Moldova 8.5/10 04 Iceland 8/10 05 Azerbaijan 7.5/10 06 Albania 7.5/10 07 Cyprus 7.5/10 08 Armenia 7/10 09 Montenegro 7/10 10 Latvia 7/10 -------------------------------- 11 Slovenia 7/10 12 Czech Republic 7/10 13 Greece 6.5/10 14 Georgia 6.5/10 15 Poland 6.5/10 16 Australia 5/10 17 Belgium 4/10 18 Portugal 3/10
May 9, 20178 yr The staging was a mess but she did really well. Definitely prefer the studio version though. 01 / Poland 9/10 02 / Armenia 9/10 03 / Albania 8.5/10 04 / Finland 7.5/10 05 / Iceland 7/10 06 / Latvia 6.5/10 07 / Montenegro 6.5/10 08 / Sweden 6/10 09 / Greece 6/10 10 / Moldova 6/10 11 / Azerbaijan 5.5/10 12 / Georgia 5.5/10 13 / Cyprus 5.5/10 14 / Czech Republic 5/10 15 / Belgium 5/10 16 / Australia 4/10 17 / Slovenia 3.5/10 18 / Portugal 3/10
May 9, 20178 yr I get that this is like a 9th language for these guys, but there's like NO European (EU and Balkans) language that uses an inflection and stressing pattern like this. PavPav is this inherited from Russian?
May 9, 20178 yr LOVE Latvia's song, the staging was a bit too much, they could have maybe donated some to poor Blanche :lol: Still a solid Q in my want and predict though!
