Good to see Anouk did sing in the rehearsal as true to her diva form she was only artist who didn't take part in the opening flag parade. She must be hating all this. Having said this I think she's going to do a Raphael Gualazzi with the juries and then with reasonable televotes, you never know.........
Those opening lines for Bonnie were always a worry with me but she'd been solid in recent performances.

Her, Marco and Amandine all seem mortified to be there (Amandine has been an uncooperative diva according to some bloggers, but they may be biased!)
I have to love Our Bonnie, who despite being the biggest name, has thrown herself into everything with gusto!

I'd read that about Amandine although it seems more a case of being overwhelmed but I noticed in that SVT backstage show after last nights rehearsals you could see her in the background being photographed with the likes of Bonnie and Krista with the French flag but this could be some late attempt by her delegation to counteract the image going round, call me cynical.;)

I do love Bonnie's attitude to it all but part of me also loves Anouk and Amandine's, guess I'm just drawn to those who look constantly miserable .
I admire Anouk's attitude actually, she came into the thing knowing exactly what she wanted, she had a vision for her song/performance and stuck with it. We could do with someone like her next year.
Do we still have no video/audio of Bonnie's jury rehearsal? Really infuriated me last night, Escxtra went down for me during Romania and the UK. I have no idea fr myself how she actually sounded!
Problem with the british press and bloggers is that all week they have been saying Tyler has been superb, on the video above it sounds amazing still. Smacks me as people getting excuses in for her already. The fans are behind her from all over Europe the song is very well constructed, Lyrics are great. Whatever happens this evening, Bonnie has gone about representing the UK in the right way. Has engaged with people, has not belittled the contest and generally has got stuck into the little light hearted, quirky side of the contest. Even before she has sung this evening, I think a lot of the European press have been surprised at this change of attitude from the UK delegation.

Blue's performances from the get go were poor even in the early rehearsals there was always something wrong with the performance. Bonnie's has been consistently good, reason to be optimistic of not coming stone cold last.

I don't expect her to come stone cold last -- even with that performance -- I am expecting a charge towards the middle at the very least -- but with that performance that's where it may well be halted -- I'd love to be wrong that the jury rehearsal was below par on a vocal level but I'm not going to sugar coat it or that the vocals don't matter for a song that needs Bonnie's voice to perform in order to be taken notice of...:)

I believe Blue were arrogant and did not believe they needed to bother practising and rehearsing. Whereas in fact they were among the weaker vocalists and stage performers. So a song that was good enough to be in the top3 was let down. With Bonnie, my fear is that her voice is fabulous for a recording artist, but, in a live show and at 61,she has neither range or power. Singers from, for example, Russia and Moldova will blow her out of the water. But Believe in Me is a very good song.

Yes, it looks like they're using the same software, just with the new colour scheme.
edit: what the bloody hell happened to scott in the end?

IS this it? It says final jury performance?
Don't think so as there's not so much applause
The link I posted is the jury final, but it doesn't have great sound.
FABULOUS! Finally I get to see it for myself haha! Thanks for posting Kozmic.
So... what were you ALL worrying about? This sounds grand to me, and the audience reaction is superb!
Fine, the first minute is a tad muted
The dodgy audio hides a multitude of sins...and we were hearing 2nd hand audio off the broadcasted audio that the juries will hear...
Once again nit-picking to the extreme.
Agreed.
"And Bonnie Tyler for the UK now. Good vocals and good performance, could she end up doing better than Engelbert did last year?"

You say nit-picking I say others are iron overing...
I ironed over Blue's Jury performance

Totally agree with other posters no matter what she scores she has done the UK proud.
Marconi would've given up if that had been the sound quality of his first transmission.
