We all compile ranking after ranking pre-Contest, but I thought it'd be interesting to see how we rank them after- when we know how they scored, how they were performed and how they came across to viewers. Mine changed quite a bit, and ends at-

1) Belgium
2) Italy
3) Netherlands
4) Hungary
5) Estonia

Only Netherlands made my previous Top 5, but great performances over the last week really moved the other 4 up. Estonia especially, given that I'd dismissed it as dull in the run-up!

These will definitely be the 5 that I listen to the most in the next few weeks!

    Estonia

    (In any order, can't really decide yet).

    Ironically, the two singers about whom there were supposedly big question marks, Roberto and Ryan, really delivered when it mattered and even surpassed themselves.

    Always loved Denmark, Norway and Finland. Grew to like Hungary more and more as the underdog, and Belgium was an absolute revelation for me. He really, really improved in the space of a week which is wonderful to see.

    Thinking on the performances that I really enjoyed on Saturday night

    1. Belgium (forgiving him for the backing dancers, he's young, it's not his fault!)
    2. Malta
    3. Hungary
    4. Germany
    5. Italy (did you see Marco do that little skip to the satellite stage?!)

    But for pure song-ness,

    1. San Marino
    2. Hungary
    3. Malta
    4. France
    5. Ukraine

    Yes, I rewatched his performance today and rewound that bit about seven times!

    It was so awkward- he obviously carried away with the emotion of it all for a second, and then mid skip realised how silly it looked so stopped.

    He's so endearingly awkward!

    My top 5 changes a lot, apart from Denmark which has always been at the top.

    1 Denmark
    2 Greece
    3 Finland
    4 Montenegro
    5 Moldova

    Georgia and UK out after poor performances in Malmo.

    I think Marco did that skip in rehearsal as well, it was a bit strange but I suppose he wanted to do something other than just stand there.

    1 Russia. Glorious uplifting melody
    2 Belgium. Fabulous chorus. sweet singer. Not in my top 5 before!
    3 Moldova. Thrilling staging. Superb technical singing. Drama!
    4 Norway. Not rated it before. Beautiful haunting tune in the backing track,in the synthesisers
    5. Lithuania. See my number 2 choice! Love the overall sound of the production, the guitars. Understated.
