They were screaming! It was more a chant than a song!
And this Portuguese song sounds like "Waterloo" Part II, only nowhere near as good!

Lithuania: What was with that bald guy dancing in the violin solo? They're crossing the line from "confident" into "arrogant". While I think it has a chance because they didn't sound bad,
Portugal: Bathroom Break #3 Their outfits are awful. Whoever picked them should be fired. Whoever made them, too.

Portugal:
Did one of them start singing when she wasn't supposed to? It's retro, but in a bad way.

Holland. Fucking hell that was dreadful! That girl in the middle...a bit on the enthusiastic side, wasn't she?
Missed Lithuania, had to take the bin bags out (which, from reading what yoy guys wrote sounds infinatley more entertaining).
Portugal. Oh dear. Again. Sounds like a really tacky TV jingle. Like something that would advertise Cillit Bang.

I'm glad Faye from Steps got a new career in Estonia!
Edit: This is actually possibly my favourite or second favourite so far.

Estonia.
It's really the night of the boots isn't it? This must be the third time this evening that I've been distracted by footwear.
It's nice to see she's getting some wear out of the belt she won when she became IBO world featherweight champion.
I quite like this.

Sweden: I shouldn't fall for the vocal acrobatics (nor wind machines) but I did. She might be crazy but it was a good performance.
Estonia: After Sweden, I don't know if this has a chance. It didn't really get good until the last chorus. For the most part, the dancing was kind of robotic.

Are Estonia allowed to use that Abba sample?
Was it Estonia who gave us Femminem the other year - they sound very similar?

Bosnia & Herzegovina: The stage (lights and placing of backups) was very good. The vocals were excellent. The best ballad (song and performance) of the night. Having a blonde woman in an evening gown play the accordion was an interesting choice.

Iceland.
More boots! I'm in footwear heaven tonight.
Forgive my ignorance, but why did she get booed at the start?

There was controversy over her swearing, and she has been a bit of a diva throughout the rehearsals!

Bosnia-Herzegovina:
It's Lane Moja all over again. Oooh, but it's really good at the end.
Iceland:
That boo was even louder than t.A.T.u.! She didn't swear did she.
Did she just say "Oh my god it's a golden shower"?!

Yay! Silvia rocked!
Even my dad thought she was great. I'll be highly disappointed if she doesn't get through.

Silvia was fab - I think the boo's suggest that the audience haven't really got the joke.
She has to go through, I'd love to hear what Terry says about her

Iceland: SILVIA! So many places she could have messed up, but it seemed to go without messing up. She was very squeaky in the talking parts.
Unfortunate there was so much booing after! But I think it will get the comedy vote more than Lithuania.
So, it's time to vote. Since I can't vote (I can't even try to - eurovision.tv's webcast has no numbers) I'll beg everyone to vote for Anzej and Kate.

I think she said: "the vote is in, I'd rather win"! I DVD-ed it and just played it back!

I'm extremely worried for Silvia.
I think my dad may kill me if I vote though. Please people keep Silvia in. I reckon Terry'll quite like her actually.
