    Hilarious stuff from Cezar so far.....he reckons he's the next famous Romanian after Dracula, Haji and Nadia Comenci :D

    He also says he cried for an hour tonight as he is "too sensitive" :D:)

    More famous than the Cheeky Girls, surely not?! :p

    Cezar comes across as the kind of guy who is so in love with himself that his mirror has kiss stains on it. :p

    So who are all the Balkans going to vote for this year? They'll actually have to think on Saturday for a change. ;)

    :o I was wrong.....he didn't.

    I can't believe he's only 33. He looks much older.:confused:

    Sounds like he was a child prodigy too. No wonder he's so self assured/absorbed......

    Thought tonight was far worse than Tuesday, which surprised me.. Its a dreadful year all round, I hate being the prophet of doom but just cannot get excited, maybe just for the fact Iceland has the most decent song and performer...Absolutely either Georgia or Azerbaijan will win...

    I would put the draw something like this:

    1. Germany
    2. Lithuania
    3. Russia
    4. Spain
    5. Belgium
    6. Estonia
    7. Malta
    8. France
    9. Armenia
    10. Moldova
    11. Belarus
    12. Netherlands
    13. Finland
    14. Greece
    15. Iceland
    16. Sweden
    17. Hungary
    18. Denmark
    19. Azerbaijan
    20. Ukraine
    21. Norway
    22. Italy
    23. Romania
    24. Georgia
    25. United Kingdom
    26. Ireland


    Very difficult for SVT to place Denmark/Norway without showing too much bias. I think Germany would be a great opener and hopefully Bonnie's big name will keep her towards the end.

    There's also quite a few slower songs in the back half which are difficult to keep apart.

    Belarus will open i think

    Also will be very intersting to see where Azerbaijan are placed - if the rumours are true the EBU and SVT don't fancy a return trip to Baku.

    I thought Azerbaijan seemed very flat tonight.

    Robbed by the juries of course : I thought they gave a brilliant 'stadium' style performance.

    I agree it was good, but it was clear it didn't have the support. Surprised how little it had on here, PeR did quite well in a contest on the other thread.

    A more varied semi but it seemed vocally much worse tonight! Am baffled how Armenia scored higher than Albania and poor poor Valentina :(

    Considering how nervous Farid looks when he performs you wouldn't tell from his vocals. They're consistently really good

    Yeah, I actually really enjoyed Latvia. I found the ad libs really added to the performance rather than made me want to hide my head under a pillow like they usually do at eurovision.

    Really? I though it came across really well. His English pronunciation and signing has improved alot and he seemed really emotive in a good way too. Could do really well in the ex-Yugo area now that they have all been eliminated.

    It was very underwhelming compared to the Georgian entry which came later.
