Only Estonia a slight surprise there, but I’d have had them 11th to qualify anyway - shame for Georgia as she was incredible tonight

Estonia is a bit of a surprise, in over Georgia maybe?

Feels like it’ll be these 6 out; Denmark Estonia Iceland Greece San Marino Romania Which is a shame as 2 of them are among my favourites this year, but Denmark in particular was POOR tonight

10 Georgia 09 Iceland 09 Cyprus 08.5 Lithuania 08 Australia 08 Poland 08 Armenia 08 Estonia 08 Albania 07 Belgium 07 Slovenia 06.5 Austria 06 Denmark 06 San Marino 04 Romania 03 Greece

Australia 100% nailed what they were going for, it’s not totally my thing but it did feel like a proper moment

I’ve been really surprised by this semi in general - much better than I was expecting

Austria definitely loses a bit of punch live

San Marino is quite good, it’s not essential and clearly doomed but they did their absolute best with it

Vocal of the night *.*

Slovenia is fine, not really my thing but they put on a good show

This isn’t as bad vocally as I feared - probably helps with the very supportive backing track

Azerbaijan set a very low bar, but I think that might well be the worst song of this year

He’s got an extremely unpleasant stage presence

Iceland is just the right kind of basic bitch pop for me - I really hope it can sneak through

Cyprus ticking every box *.*

I’m not quite feeling the MASS LOVE Rich mentioned for that performance, but it is very good

Estonia fab as expected, but still feels doomed sadly

Romania is just weird on every level

Not sure if it’s just compared to Denmark, but this is sounding very good

That was… not good. It’s a shame as it’s one of the best songs tonight but if it’s a borderline qualifier that won’t have done it any favours

I’m not often in the habit of espousing the opinion of those other than myself. So yes, I do think this entry is among the top 5 best of the year. Obviously all a matter of personal taste, but I would only put Sweden, Norway and France ahead of it.

If there is any justice in the world Greece will come last. Ideally I would like the following to qualify: Denmark Iceland Belgium Austria Australia Cyprus Lithuania Poland Georgia Albania However, I think it's more likely to be (in no specific order): Denmark Armenia Belgium Austria Australia Cyprus Lithuania Poland Georgia Slovenia

So ended up selling the dress rehearsal tickets (couldn’t justify the expense). We’re arriving Saturday am if anyone has any suggestions of things to do/places to go!

The performance looks amazing - she really just needs a backing vocalist to help lift it, she's not a great singer but with some ''padding'' it would be fine. It's certainly not the abject disaster some would have us believe.
