like i said b4..i can't get over horrible vibrato in her voice.... song might be nice but i can't listen... just personal preference...

oh fo sho! but i;m biased... i'm a sucker for that style of music....

it's good... he went out of tune on one or two notes but it can be forgiven... he should have stuck with the old chorus... if rehearsals are any indication Signor Diges is the only one who sounds miles better live... can't wait for the final :wub:

i'm not sure i like the change of key in the chorus for one phrase...

ooooh Switzerland.... please be good!

he was so out of tune.... urgh! oh an i HATE this one... my blood boils and not for a good thing... i mean i love ABBA and i love Police... but i like them apart... mizing is not good every time... next day you can be left with a major headache if you don't mix wisely..... and i'm getting migraine now.... is it over yet?

Armenia... i like them a lot and any girl that wears jeans and dress on stage gets brownie points from me and rehearsals showed it will be a beautiful performance GO EVA!

oh no, i'm with ya!

political reasons... song's name was "we don't wanna put in" which sounded very anti-Putin here we go! you know what you can scratch Israel or Shala-lie shalala from my list and add lithuania i forgot how fun they were

what i want care about 01. Lithuania // InCulto "Eastern European Funk" 02. Armenia // Eva Rivas "Apricot Stone" 03. Israel // Harel Skaat "Milim" 04. Denmark // Chanée and N'evergreen "In a Moment Like This" 05. Switzerland // Michael von der Heide "Il pleut de l'or" 06. Sweden // Anna Bergendahl "This Is My Life" 07. Azerbaijan // Safura "Drip Drop" 08. Ukraine // Alyosha "Sweet People" 09. The Netherlands // Sieneke "Ik ben verliefd (Sha-la-lie)" 10. Romania // Paula Seling and Ovi "Playing with Fire" 11. Slovenia // Ansambel Žlindra and Kalamari "Narodnozabavni rock" 12. Ireland // Niamh Kavanagh "It's for You" 13. Bulgaria // Miro "Angel si ti" 14. Cyprus // Jon Lilygreen and The Islanders "Life Looks Better in Spring" 15. Croatia // Feminnem "Lako je sve" 16. Georgia // Sopho Nizharadze "Shine" 17. Turkey // maNga "We Could Be the Same"

with a burpy chorus actually Russia's entry reminded me of this S4aqM_wu6Ns but this actually is 1000000x cooler... now if they sent smth like this i'd be all RUSSIA FTW (and i rarely root for Russia) and they are dressed better here... even though it's mid 70s :lol: John Mayer?

after all of that i kinda have few questions (or suggestions) about wardrobe... dear Thea and Aisha... please, please FIRE YOUR STYLISTS!!! i'd lynch them but i'm in a crappy mood today, so i guess that's not really necessary Thea is a big girl, ok... she has curves but that dress... omfg... it made her look as flat-chested as Chinese underage gymnasts... and Aisha, darling.... WHAT FOR??? did you tie a bath curtain with a sash, huh? at first i though that it was a skirt of a dress wrapped around her upper body and at some point smth will happen, like it will fall in a long skirt and wind machine will start... but NO.... it was the final "dress"... ok rant is over.... oh wait... i just HAVE to say one thing... cheesy cliche wings. yeah... that about sums it up, Belarus *takes a bow* thanks you. i'm done. lol

Greece, Russia and Potugal took places of good songs... Suomi :'(

Russia is in :puke2:

Iceland's song is classic Eurovision at it's best! :D

Hyvä Suomi!

hush little baby dont you cry..... *zzzzzzz* did i fall asleep singing you a lullaby

urgh Eurovision website is skipping for me so i have to listen to blabbing of Russian commentator

sooo.... BST is what? Greenwich? if Chicago is UTC -6:00 will that make it 2PM for me?

ok after seeing most of the rehearsals i have to say... i :wub: Daniel and his song and his voice and the whole performance i think i'm falling in love LOL ok... got that out of my system :lol: Armenia has a very beautiful show. major brownie points! just like that got closer to the top. Norway is way too static. it is a power ballad. "power" being an operative word... it needs better lights and the whole thing to even look legit needs massive amount of pyro... "cold fire" fountains at crescendo would be perfect (or at the key change)

you can't also dismiss the fact that he had "soviet" block behind him... i mean his win was overwhelming, but no way would post USSR be so behind him as much as they were if he hadn't been "one of them" Norway played the politics game perfectly. if you can beat the system, use it. it didn't hurt that Alexander is so personable and charming. and so was the song. charming, cute, naive... i kinda see Spain more in that league this year... not 'the sure winner' league, but the "air" around the song... i can't help but smile every time i hear the song. it makes me feel good... not overwhelmingly good like i can win over the world... just good... like you know sometimes you are in a good mood and smiling for absolutely no reason... (Daniel's washboard abs don't hurt too lol)

@Jerick wow! that post with all the links! gargantuan amount of work. THNAK YOU :) and i can't wait for Germany's and Spain's rehearsal. smth tells me that Norway will be very static... maybe a lot of dramatic lights and maybe some pyro... hmmmm... not that i think about it... i guess i wanna see Norway too lol

well it's not top two :) like i said i was lazy to rank them... so there was no order to the songs in the groups... if i had to pick my top 3 it would be between Spain, Germany and Switzerland :)

thank you :)

i guess i'll do mine... i'm not patient enough to rank them all so i'll just split them in few groups but they will be in no particular order within the group with opinions on some Songs i LOVE Iceland: Hera Björk - Je Ne Sais Quoi Finland: Kuunkuiskaajat - Työlki Ellää it's grown on me, not gonna lie. didn't like it at all on first listen, but i have a soft spot for Finland (they are my fav European hockey nation and my all time fav player - Teemu Selanne- comes form there so i guess i was biased enough to not give up on one try. Spain: Daniel Diges - Algo Pegueñito OMG i LOVE LOVE LOVE this song. and can't understand the heat it gets all over the internet. it's so sweet, sad but magical. the lyrics are pretty too... it's so often we don't do the smallest things that would matter a lot more than some big gestures... Romania: Paula Seling & Ovi - Playing With Fire Germany: Lena Meyer-Landrut - Satellite quirky, weird, cute, memorable... waht else do you need :D Switzerland: Michael von der Heide - Il Pleut De L'or can't take him seriously when looking at him, but i'm such a sucker for that style of music... i don't care who would sing that, just sing it. Armenia: Eva Rivas - Apricot Stone like it a lot. though something about "my cherished fruit" makes me uncomfortable Israel: Harel Skaat - Milim Bulgaria: Miro - Angel Si Ti Slovakia: Kristina - Horehronie Latvia: Aisha - What For? Belarus: Three Plus Two - Butterflies i rarely like my home country's entry ( i did like Koldun a bit :) )but i'm very proud of them this year. pretty high quality product they brought to the contest... but please lose the cheesy, cliche wings... urgh! the dresses, smoke, confetti and light show would have been enough and very tasteful Norway: Didrik Solli-Tangen - My Heart Is Yours dude can sing! Turkey: maNga - We Could Be The Same songs that i like... Croatia: Feminnem - Lako Je Sve when i look at them i can't help but think "Sex and the City gone [i'm still not sure how to end it]" and that's a bad thing, just so you know... but the song itself is pretty good... Netherlands: Sieneke - Ik Ben Verliefd (Sha-La-Lie) it's nice... but WAY too retro without any twist whatsoever... did they get the memo that it's 2010, not 1970? United Kingdom: Josh Dubovie - That Sounds Good To Me i'm probably among very few that gives this entry the light of day... it's nothing special, but 7 out of 10 times it comes up on my mp3 player i don't skip it lol Belgium: Tom Dice - Me And My Guitar John Mayer's little brother... it's nice to listen to, but definitely not for a contest like that Albania: Juliana Pasha - It's All About You Ireland: Niamh Kavanagh - It's For You "well, ok... i guess i can listen to them once or twice" songs Serbia: Milan Stankovic - Ovo Je Balkan Cyprus: Jon Lilygreen & The Islanders - Life Looks Better In Spring Lithuania: InCulto - Eastern European Funk and the rest of the songs that do absolutely nothing for me Sweden: Anna Bergendahl - This Is My Life i can't get past her voice that i don't like... i might like the song if someone else sang it, but i wasn't able to listen through it once... not that the voice is bad... just not my thing... Denmark: Chanée & N´evergreen - A Moment Like This did some crazy fan-scientist clone Police and ABBA in one act? can't even call it a love-child... it's so cold, generic and calculated... Azerbaijan: Safura - Drip Drop don't get the hype around that one at all... i've heard this song 100s time before... well not THIS song, but it has nothing new to offer. and that "drip drop drip drop" is so annoying... can someone pass me the wrench to fix that faucet? Moldova: SunStroke Project & Olia Tira - Run Away France: Jessy Matador - Allez Olla Olé Poland: Marcin Mroziński - Legenda Georgia: Sopho Nizharadze - Shine Ukraine: Alyosha - Sweet People Malta: Thea Garrett - My Dream Greece: Giorgos Alkaios & Friends - Opa Estonia: Malcom Lincoln - Siren Bosnia-Herzegovina: Vukašin Brajić - Thunder And Lightning FYR Macedonia: Gjoko Taneski - Jas Ja Imam Silata Portugal: Filipa Azevedo - Há Dias Assim "WTF" songs Russia: Peter Nalitch & Friends - Lost And Forgotten Slovenia: Anzambel Žlindere & Kalamari - Narodnozabavni Rock
