Well I never. I'm going to have to go and but a hat to eat now.

I gave San Marino 8 and Kaz 7 from the non-qualifiers.

Four songs with love in the title, one called Happiness and one about bees. Oh and another about being a tree.

SF1 reviews

1. Luxembourg: What a great opening to the show. They've picked up their game since the quarters. I thought the Beneluxian microstate may be a victim of the semis but they've just blown it wide open.

2. Georgia: This was a good QF song but won't be outstanding tonight. I could give or take either way to be honest. I won't mind if they get through but I don't particularly want it.

3. Greece: One of the iconic songs in Klaksvik, didn't enjoy it as much as the other night but still guaranteed to sail into the final in my opinion. Expect a top 3 finish again from Orianthi.

4. Wales: Charlotte Church delivers a nice performance. I don't love the song, but it isn't bad. It's probably likeable enough to limp into the final, but I think it will be in the bottom 5 or 6 in the final.

5. England: Not horrible, but at risk of upsetting the majority of players, edged out by their rivals Wales on the night. Will be very near the bubble to be honest.

6. Sweden: This is a real grower. Not as strong as some of the songs we've heard tonight but should easily be a finalist.

7. Armenia: This song is really catchy and deserves to make the final. I think it could be top 10.

8. Spain: Doesn't do it for me to be honest. Hopefully it doesn't qualify.

9. Poland: This is a grower, but I still don't love it like some others. Definitely a finalist for me though.

10. Belgium: This is solid, not spectacular, and probably a finalist. I think being in the final is the ceiling for this song. Should qualify but won't be on the left hand side of the board in the final.

11. France: Bit of a recurring theme in the heart of this semi. This song should qualify but I don't expect much from it in the final.

12. Slovenia: This song should definitely be in the final. One of my favourite ballads in the competition.

13. FYR Macedonia: Not a huge fan to be honest. Will be very close to the bubble.

14. Austria: Ugh I think this is gonna be an eliminee tbh. Bored me really.

15. Moldova: I liken this to Greece, it's one of the standout songs in this contest and potential to be in the top 3 overall when the dust settles.

16. Netherlands: Not a huge fan, will be close to the bubble.

17. Bosnia: This rock anthem gets more and more captivating every time. Might be the best song in this process since Jenny May's "Es gribu vel milet" triumphed for Latvia back in Toulouse.

18. Scotland: One of the nicer ballads in the competition. Should be in the final.



6 eliminees


Georgia
Spain
Austria
FYR Macedonia
England
Netherlands

Good, strong Semi there (ooh-er!)

*Rubs at Crystal Ball* (ooh-er again)

Love Georgia but can see that being a shock scalp. Luxembourg sounds very much like Lovebugs- I like it, though, Not a big fan of Orianthi as I think her songs have the personality of a turnip, but should easily make it through. I think Spain and Slovenia will make it through but I see the end of the line for Poland.

I thought that semi wasnt strong at all really. Hardly any of the songs I voted for. But I know I voted for a load that did qualify. So must mean the 2nd one is gonna be SOOO HARDDDD.

My favourites:
Luxembourd
England
Belgium
France
Scotland

My 6 to eliminate would be:
Georgia
Greece (No chance of this)
Wales
Sweden
Macedonia
Austria

And for some reason that's a different video, the one that was originally used was 4.35, thats on my iPod, the link from SF1 has a lot of talking at each side of the actual song and that's why it's 6.23.
