Unfortunate timing for his bout of tonsilitis.

Now, here's what I've been waiting for :dance:

01 Finland 02 Bulgaria 03 Malta 04 Azerbaijan 05 San Marino 06 Latvia 07 Iceland 08 Macedonia

How utterly dull and tedious. If this qualifies ahead of Finland I'll be seriously cross.

I've gone right off Malta, I somehow really liked it when I first heard it but it's so middle-of-the-road.

01 Finland 02 Malta 03 Azerbaijan 04 San Marino 05 Latvia 06 Macedonia

01 Finland 02 Azerbaijan 03 San Marino 04 Latvia 05 Macedonia

How much better is this than any of the 4 songs that've just been on?!?

01 Azerbaijan 02 Latvia 03 San Marino 04 Macedonia

Go on, let's play since this semi is a bit more interesting than the other one: 01 Latvia 02 San Marino 03 Macedonia

Baffled by Lithuania, I guess it had more appeal in the Eastern European countries voting in the final than it did here!

WTF happened to the Balkan countries?!

Bahh... How could Lithuania get through this year but Israel last year (a far better song in the broadly similar genre) didn't make it!

WOW!

Hope Montenegro make it, like that they tried something different and modern. Other than that I think there are 8 or 9 songs that'll definitely make it and 4 that definitely won't.

Something tells me the presenter on here doesn't like the Netherlands one either.

This is the sort of thing I'd usually like, and his voice does remind me a little of Brainstorm (one of my all-time favourite Eurovision songs), but the song's just no good. Just doesn't go anywhere.

This is dire, no wonder it's such long odds to go through.

What do I need to threaten to get people to not vote for the Netherlands? :P

Semi final 1 - the selection was so bad that my points below 10pts may as well have been given at random so I can't be arsed. Hate the Netherlands one with a passion though. Semi final 2 - 12 points: xx 10 points: Malta 8 points: xx 7 points: xx 6 points: xx 5 points: xx 4 points: xx 3 points: Romania 2 points: xx 1 point: Armenia
