Ireland
Again the draw is a problem for the lovely Jedwards. Once you see this you get it. Until that point it just seems like two silly boys jumping around the stage being imbeciles. Go Ireland!!! We feel in love with these two lads this week and I feel a top 5 moment coming on. The whole press centre loves this now....Looks amazing on the screens....could these two beat Blue now?????
Sweden
So now we know that almost all the lead vocal comes from the two backing singers at both sides of the stage this has sunk even more in my estimations. That said this is a more effective stage show than at first appears. But the camera work is a mess....maybe this is on purpose to hide the backing singers doing all the vocal....
Estonia
Much better vocally than in their semi this has just gone back up in the Eurovision charts, but this still has a very long way to go to take the crown. Though seeing for the first time on the screen rather than in the hall makes this so much better now. She dropped her hankie too!!!!! It all gets a bit shouty in the chorus but should be safe enough for a top 10.
Greece
Helped fantastically by it’s place in the draw this is a real breath of fresh air amongst all the poppy stuff that goes before it. Heading straight for the top 10 and none of us ever saw that coming did we? Loukas, Stereo Mike and their dancing boys do a fab job, this ethno song really stands out now!
Russia
Looks really cool on the screen, and this is so catchy and instant that it’s almost surely in the top 10. Alexey sings his little socks off and even though we were nice to Sweden, this is soooooo much better…..potential winner....doubt it, but this could very easily make the top 5!!!!!! Whoooohoooo I'm cumming to get you;-))))) Love the shoes!!!!!! But one of the jackets didn't light....oppss
