The opening number was weird, especially the flying Hermes (that was not something I needed to see). Although I am surprised Maria Menounos can sing.

Armenia: Oooh, I like! His vocals were a bit rubbish. Great visual performance though.

Bulgaria: Better vocally than I expected. I like the dancer's outfits (as in, I would like to own dresses like those)

Slovenia: Did you notice his H s? I wasn't too impressed to be honest. Where was his cape?

Slovenia: No glasses :-( Other than that, excellent.
And he kept the right-left-up-down pointy bit from the preselection dance!!!!

Andorra:
It's sort of like because she is fat, they have made the dancers really "sexy". I really like it actually. Won't qualify. She looks really good methinks.

Andorra: Vocals not good. Dance routing boring. Unfortunate, because I liked the song. No chance of qualifying.
How come it is only me and Robbing the Dezan in this topic?

Belarus: Wow, she starts by jumping over a dancer. She sounds better than I expected. Her outfit is really weird, but it shows skin and I guess that's what gets votes.

Belarus':
She dances exactly like Brintey. I thought that was an amazing performance! Didn't understand a word but she was vocally really strong. This could qualify.
Albania:
He looks like a Bel Ami model. The 'dancing' was a bit akward.
I would like to shag him.

Albania: Where are the dancers? Stepping side to side does not equal dancing. I really like this song but wow the performance is so boring. I took a bathroom break in the middle.

Belgium!!
Something sounded wrong with her vocals on the verses. Wasn't too blown away to be honest. But still really good.

Belgium: She sounds strong vocally. I like her little arm movements. The wind works very well with her dress and hair.
BUT WHERE WAS THE KNEE SWING??
I think it will qualify, but it still should have had the knee swing.

Great song, something not right on the night.

Kate was superb. I take it back, she'll make it. Surprised at the reaction to Anzej. I thought he was majestic!

Ireland:
Toilet break.
Ugh, that backing singer in the middle is a very odd shape! He looks like a tellytubby.
Anzej! He is lovely! He speaks such good English! He fancies Dima Bilan!

Evening!
Kate Ryan was great ! Poor vocals but fabulously Eurovision. She MUST qualify.
The knee-wiggle must have got held up at customs (or maybe Brian Kennedy ate it...)

Ireland: It sounded good, but the performance was a little boring to me and didn't bring out any emotion. Cyprus and Bosnia & Herzegovina will probably (hopefully) do better.

Just lazily sauntered into the kitchen/office whilst Ireland was on...
...Bloody hell wasn't Kate fab? I must admit I wasn't that keen until I heard it tonight. She just SPARKLED out there and it was infectious.
Back to the mid-tempo dross.....

What does one have to type for "I can't articulate my thoughts well enough" to come up?

Father Jack was doing the backing singing for Ireland...
Belgium and Albania are my favourites so far, but I am ever so biased about Albania.

So far I definately want Anzej and Kate to qualify.
My parents thought Kate was rubbish though. I will prove them wrong.
Mind you, as soon as I saw her in that dress I thought she looked like Tanya.

I don't like Cyprus She looked like a lemon.
And why do Paddy and Terry have to keep going on about how it's better not to have the whips, lycra, fur, lights. That's what Eurovision is all about. If I wanted to see a simple song sung by a man and a guitar I'd watch X-Factor, or go to a Westlife concert.

Monaco:
Man tits! And she looks like Jenny Powell. Sounds like it should be on the Lion King soundtrack, or on a Black Lace album.

Monaco: Bathroom break #2 (that's what I get for drinking too much water, I guess). I didn't like her or her dancer's outfits, and the vocal was lacking. It had a cute ending but that's all that's going for it.
