The Semi-final as it happens

[dannywales]

Is it just me or did Carola sing "To heaven with you" instead of "Together with you" ? I'm almost positive she did. She also says something about a wing which I can't make out. Angels perhaps?

Perhaps she fancied chicken wings after the contest.

Maybe she was commenting on Finland's wings

As some Eurovision song came on random on my iTunes, I realized - wow, the Semi-finals were on 7 hours ago, I should check in to see what happened.

And so I looked for Belgium...and kept looking...and kept looking........

I hope you could hear me screaming in New York, USA.

You know you can watch it on eurovision.tv live? That's what I did.
Of course, it's on at 10PM Greece time, not 10 PM New York time... So the final's at 3 PM EST tomorrow. I hope you can watch it, it'd be nice to have another American (and New York-er) in the as-it-happens topic!

-I'm really stunned that Slovenia didn't get through. Poor, poor Anzej.
-Quite like FYROM, though it does sound like a Javine song.
-Not that keen on Sweden, to be honest. Hi-NRG doesn't really do it for me.
-I loved Lane Moje, but Hari Mata Hari I just can't get into.
-Ukraine is made a hundred times better by that massive note she belts out unexpectedly.
-Finland are going to win the whole thing.

Belgium is really sad about this !! We don't understand and lots of Belgian don't know if they'll watch Eurovision tonight !

Yesterday I received a email from Kate's record company (I'm on the mailing list) to encourage Kate at her arrival tomorrow at Brussels airport ! She really needs all of our support after this scandal !
