QF2 Review

SERBIA: I started counting the times he says '' Belgrade '' but I got bored soon so I stopped. Bad
NORTH AFRICA: Indifferent
GUERNSEY: This is a huge hit in Greece. I really like Imany and the song is good for its kind.
SHETLAND ISLANDS: Not feeling this right now but it sounds like the song that is growing on you. I'd call it decent
ICELAND: Experimental sound and artistic video. I like this, wish it had a distinctive melody so it could be more memorable
IRELAND: The guy's face is so feminine I thought for a moment that it was Sabrina playing his role in disguise ( well they look a little bit alike as well and it would be an interesting idea for a video clip ). The song is quite strong
NORWAY: Blown away by this. Release the darkness!!!
SWITZERLAND: I remember watching her performing on Eurovision and thinking she was annoying. She is still annoying but this track is way better. Strong chorus
MALTA: I like Lauren. She has some nice songs and this one is not an exception.
AZORES: Very good song, very likeable singer.
GERMANY: I like its vibes and the chorus but not the verses. Good overall
VATICAN CITY: Emma's songs, either I will love them or I will hate them. Hate her eurovision entry, love '' Arrivera L'amore '' and this one... Well I am not loving this
CYPRUS: I am not a fan of this kind of music.
LITHUANIA: Not bad, it just doesn't do much for me
GEORGIA: I thought that we were going to get something like Norway at the beginning and then the cheapness overflowed. Not happy
ISRAEL: I surprisingly love this. It's infectious I hope this will do well, even if chances are against it
BELARUS: Basis 90's ballad.
GOTLAND: Instant and catchy. Enjoying this

Apologies for the length of time this is taking. I've been driven mad all day by strange things happening and the slowness of it all Sick of the site of my laptop!

Quarter Final 1 Playlist

Quarter Final 1 Recap

Note: It seems to be up and running now

Quarter Final 2 recap and playlist are coming I promise. It's all going so slowly that I can only do one thing at a time instead of multitasking on the laptop/internet

That recap reminded me that I need to visit New Zealand someday.
Not visiting it for the sheeps though.

lol I guess I like to do the intro videos as it kind of mimics the Eurovision intros of old and expands our horizons a little!

This looks so amazing, Beth!! You did such a great job.

Also y'all I've had Putin, Putout stuck in my head all day and I'm not sure how to feel about it.

Don't apologise. Thank you for doing all this.

It's his err chipolata I can't forget/get out of my mind

I just can't erase this from my mind. Seriously.

Me neither and I was kind of drawn to it for choosing the recap clip lol Besides I was trying to get the bit in where he farted fire lol

There is one song in QF1 which is just not my type of thing..... but I'm getting obsessed with it. Been playing it loads....

Tell us which one, we won't judge (probably)

I don't know if I'm allowed to say as it might give away some of my votes....

Which is probably pointless I mentioned it here

You're welcome! However, my problems persist Has anyone ever used PowerDirector before? All of the clips I use and/or create are done in the widescreen, but for some reason a few of them refuse to follow this when I save the country clip. It''s never happened before and at first I thought my software had a problem with countries ending in -ia as Slovenia, Armenia and Tasmania were the ones that wouldn't work for QF 1, then I realised that Russia was not affected lol. It's so random and they are all created in the same template I just can't work out what is causing it.

Serbia? Or even Slovenia

I'm a rock fan so Serbia isn't unusual for me... although I'm not obsessed with it.

Am I'm allowed to say? (it doesn't necessarily state what or if I give it points...)

Yes, of course you can say which are your favourites etc

I'm gonna say it...

I want the next contest to be in Ljubljana!

Ok (really not Slovenia)

For some reason, maybe it's the weather, Azerbaijan has just got stuck in my head. I was driving round town earlier today blasting it out on repeat! I have no idea what pedestrians thought I was listening to...I might have even been doing a little dance behind the wheel maybe they Shazamed it and it'll take off charting here?

I was definitely acting as a one man advert for it

Lol, well as DSFE fans we have all been there I am sure! And Lurker's obsession with Slovenia is disturbing me Fan of enormous chipolatas are you L? OR more disturbing is it imagining Putin in ballet tights ?

I've never seen a masterpiece like this since Denis Denis.

You know there is no accounting for taste. If it helps, for me personally Slovenia is ten times what Denis Denis was. Yet I was a minority voice on that lol Make of that what you will

I'm sure Laleh appreciates your publicity and blasting her music!!

Good grief!

Eurovision fans would have adored Denis Denis. Israel could have its own Verka Serduchka
