May 22, 200817 yr Even though my country Bulgaria didn't qualify (due to bad singing!), I'm happy because my top fav this year Croatia qualified! :D Voted for it, will vote on Saturday night as well. This time I was surprised, and that was a good thing. Didn't expect Denmark. Albania and Latvia just shouldn't have been there. Albania's singer was so weak after the amazing powerful voice of Lithuanian singer. And Latvia were off tune whole 3 minutes! Also, I saw another possible winner - Portugal.

May 22, 200817 yr I DIDNT LIKE CROATIA OSNG THAT MUCH WAS SURPRISED CROATIA and portugal went through,latvia sweden and iceland were my faves but i liked the song for switzerland also
May 22, 200817 yr Portugal is absolutely fantastic this year. Would love it if they won, they've certainly been waiting long enough!
May 23, 200817 yr I'm pretty satisfied with what I saw. I'm thinking my poor Georgia probably barely got in with 9th place. Who the h*ll is voting for Croatia? <_< Latvia is somewhat unfortunate too. Instantly 12 (or 10) points from Lithuania and Estonia.
May 23, 200817 yr Well, Bulgaria - my country- did not qualify, but I'm not disappointed at all (even though I like the song). Last year I was so excited about our entry, this time I was more like -_- <_< I didn't even watch the entire show - partying was better :D :D
May 23, 200817 yr The entries from the 4 "big" countries are beyon dire... well may be with the exception of Germany. I agree with you. I have to say though, the German entry (No Angels) is very good, I like it. I'm wondering how they will end up. The big countries usually perform bad.
May 23, 200817 yr I'm happy with these getting through: Sweden Iceland Denmark Ukraine Georgia Not bothered but can see why they qualified: Portugal Albania Turkey What were they thinking: Croatia Latvia I'm happy with this: Iceland :dance: Denmark Ukraine Not bothered: Sweden Georgia And all the others: WTF??? Where is Bulgaria? And for Hungary: she has a good voice, but the performance was very boring and she is not a brilliant performer like last year's Ruzsa Magdi. I'm not wondering she's not there I already knew she will not make the cut when I saw here winning in the national election. But tbh this semifinal was very very weak with some exception!
May 23, 200817 yr My short review of the show (from the 1st fave to the least fave)[didn't like - in red, liked - in green]: 1. Ukraine - I think i liked Ani's performance more than others'. She's fantastic live :heart: 2. Albania - She's only 17 but she sings so great plus she wasn't nervous much, but i saw how her hands have been shaking at one moment :kink: 3. Turkey - Amazing song, great performance didn't let me get disappointed in it 4. Denmark - It looked like the last century on the stage, but i fell in love with the song more and more :wub: 5. Iceland - Quite alright i can say but that wasn't enough for winning imo :( 6. Portugal - SOOOOO AMAZINGGGGGG, especially the last seconds :w00t: I love it, top 5 in my next chart :heart: 7. Malta - She was so energetic, it's quite a nice song but it did fall in my personal list of faves long ago, but the performance was gorgeous 8. FYR Macedonia - Surprisingly good performance :o Thanks god Tamara sang along with 'rappers' in these parts, that was wonderful unlike in the song itself :( 9. I really got surprised when Georgia was announced to qualify into the final, she did much better than in the national final of the country i saw, definitely my NE in the chart :cheer: 10. Croatia - I did like it REALLY, probably enters the chart later :kink: 11. Sweden - Disappointed with it much but i think she'll do much better in the final. I think it was the influence of the 2nd number she got to present the song yesterday. 12. Bulgaria - Burning vinyls were excellent innovation :lol: But overally quite bad :( HAHA 13. Latvia - Quite nice but not enough for me. I won't be voting in the Final for that definitely :lol: 14. Hungary - bland :P 15. Switzerland - Though it was incredibly BAD how Paolo sang i put him on the high 15th place :o 16. Cyprus - Only Greece would understand the song in the whole, i din't :( 17. Czech Republic - Vocals were $h!t $h!t $h!t, i really wanted to switch the channel :( 18. Belarus - Didn't amaze me at all, hate the song, bland :\ 19. Lithuania - I LAUGHED DURING ALL THE SONG :rofl: that's all :lol:
May 23, 200817 yr Author The rap let it down at the start of the track, take it out, it would have done better. That was Macedonia Martin! :P
May 23, 200817 yr I didn't watch it, as I was on the much better concert. But, I'll not miss Saturday evening. Croatia would be ok, without that old man. :lol: With him is just funny. :lol:
May 23, 200817 yr if a country in the west wins this year I'm going to book my holiday to that country next May I think and try to get tickets to the contest :P :wub: I'd love to go to somewhere in Scandinavia :wub: also interesting that all of the first four songs went through but hardly anything from the end...shows that the draw doesn't matter as some people think it does...
May 23, 200817 yr Are you going to be in the hall on Saturday Nada? :o No. It is quite hard to get the ticket, plus I think it's expensive, plus I have some University work... But, I'll be in front of my TV. :w00t:
May 23, 200817 yr Portugal is absolutely fantastic this year. Would love it if they won, they've certainly been waiting long enough! yeah, i would love to see it winning aswell :heart: It's the oldest participating country that haven't won yet. Vania, i believe in u :wub:
May 23, 200817 yr In great Portuguese tradition, it's all suffering until down to the wire. It had to be the last envelope!
May 23, 200817 yr I'm so happy for Portugal getting through, it's such a nice song ^_^ . and to be fair the man singing for Croatia isn't that bad of a singer. The song itself is a bit Meh though.
May 23, 200817 yr Portugal should win thie year,it have the most different song of all,not like the common songs we listen on others. Listen to the instrumental song :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxsV6HKWaOk&feature=related Edited May 23, 200817 yr by Odaisul
