That's true - but who are you calling non-European? :o

Americans, i suppose :unsure:

I'd say i agree with everything Phil said there, except for Portugal, which i loved

I completely disagree with Phil on Armenia (along with Iceland the only 10/10/10 performance of the first semi for me...), but Iceland was SERIOUSLY good. If it had been another typical awful UK entry for this year I would be 100% behind Iceland...

That's true - but who are you calling non-European? :o

 

Well I guess Americans applies, but mostly countries where Eurovision is broadcast which arent European, like South Africa, Australia, etc...

Oh OK. I thought you were referring to me as a non-European :lol:

Iceland was by far my favourite from the night, wish SBS would show it a bit closer to it's initial broadcast time tho.

 

1. Montenegro // Andrea Demirovic - Just Get Out of My Life - Pretty decent song/performance, should have gone through over Armenia

2. Czech Republic // Gipsy.cz - Aven Romale - f***ing horrific.

3. Belgium // Copycat - Copycat - What exactly was this? it wasn't music.

4. Belarus // Petr Elfimov - Eyes That Never Lie - Not quite sure i 'got' this, the Aussie commentators were orgasming over it tho.

5. Sweden // Malena Ernmann - La Voix - I liked this one, Snalla Snalla $h!ts over it like, but it was a bloody good performance, my 3rd fave

6. Armenia // Inga & Anush - Jan Jan - This had to have gotten a sympathy vote, no-one with ears or sanity could have voted for this. Just horrendous in every way, shape and form

7. Andorra // Susanne Georgi - La teva decisio (Get A Life) - Good little song from the microscopic country.

8. Switzerland // Lovebugs - The Highest Heights - Wasn't bad, but not my thing.

9. Turkey // Hadise - Dum Tek Tek - I loved this, quite catchy.

10. Israel // Noa & Mira Awad - There Must Be Another Way - I'm a sucker for a ballad and this delivered.

11. Bulgaria // Krassimir Avramov - Illusion - Can't really remember this one...

12. Iceland // Johanna Guðrun Jonsdottir - Is It True? - f***ing sensational, i've downloaded this from iTunes already :kink: the show only finished 20mins ago :heehee: i hope this does amazing in the final, imo the best song in SF1 by a country mile

13. F.Y.R. Macedonia // Next Time - Nesto sto ke ostane - Can't remember this one either to be honest, Iceland was that good.

14. Romania // Elena - The Balkan Girls - 2nd best on the night imo, totally loved this.

15. Finland // Waldo's People - Lose Control - The guy just ruined this for me -_-

16. Portugal // Flor-de-lis - Todas As Ruas Do Amor - Didn't like this, christ knows how it qualified, at least it was better than Armenia.

17. Malta // Chiara - What If We - Quite liked this, but she isn't going to do as well as '98 or '05 with it.

18. Bosnia-Herzegovina // Regina - Bistra Voda - Didn't like this either tbh.

Overall - the hosts should be shot, they were all kinds of crap. The Aussie commentators weren't too bad, shame SBS waited a couple of days to show it on TV, i think i'd be able to watch the final live if my internet could handle it likes.

 

Iceland ftw, i love love love it. Shame i can't send ESC songs to BJSC. I'll save it for a ESC spin off :kink:

 

The woman aussie commentator was f***ing puddling over Bosnia-Herzegovina. They were both over joyed at that one going through. I nearly cried when Armenia went through

 

I dont think non-europeans "get" ethnic or traditional music from countries around Europe. You definitely need an open mind, and not expect to hear Shakira, Timbaland or Leona in each song performed, as its not supposed to be just about chart-friendly songs, but songs that represent your country.

 

I think Xylem was mostly responding to (Australian) Silas. Silas slammed Armenia and a couple other "ethnic" entries, but on the other hand, Silas also highly praised Turkey, Romania, and some other "ethnic" entries.

 

Dare I ask... what is puddling and why do Australian women do it?

 

I am actually British for those of you who don't know me.

 

Puddling is basically a slightly more crude way of saying she was having a rather large orgasm over the song :kink: and anyone can do it, the female commentator [theres a dude and a chick commentating for SBS] was like in love with this entry, i just didn't see it.

 

I got my first listen of all the songs tonight.

I completely disagree with Phil on Armenia (along with Iceland the only 10/10/10 performance of the first semi for me...), but Iceland was SERIOUSLY good. If it had been another typical awful UK entry for this year I would be 100% behind Iceland...

I dunno what it is about it, but there is something i seriously hated about it.

 

Iceland was just :wub: to the power of infinity.

 

f*** Jade, Iceland FTW.

I'd say i agree with everything Phil said there, except for Portugal, which i loved

It was a bit bleh for me, but by no means the worst in the semi.

 

I'm still in shock from the Czech Republic's entry.

LOLZ. Everyone is. :heehee:

:heehee:

 

It came on and i was just like what the f***.

 

The commentators seemed to like everything :huh: they commended Czech Repub. on their costumes :rofl:

They have to like everyone tbh :(

 

And how our commentators expressed their love (esp. the guy) to Hadise and Loboda :heehee: But overally, they did a good job without favouring any songs.

My favs are Sweden,Portugal and Bosnia..........

hadise is number one. i think she will win. dum tek tek is so so so beautiful song.

congratulations turkey. hadise - dum tek tek......
