Greece: Anna, you're not fat - you don't need to wear a tablecloth! The Greek fans in the arena didn't even stop cheering to let her sing.

Oooh back just in time for the horror that is Finland. Somehow I don't think they'll be in white.
The most exciting thing tonight has been 8 Coronas for a £5. Now thats a bargain!

lol, Greece: it's gonna win, and Eurovision will move to greece forever. I have no problem with that if Paparizou, Sakis and Anna rotate each year!

Finland's song cracks me up and also makes me tap my feet. I loved the lead guy's quote I read about a hard rock metal band singing at Eurovision - "When you paint a painting, it should look good if it's in a museum or if it's hanging over someone's toilet"

It's a good job Finland is post-watershed. I can imagine kids having nightmares having looked at those!
Ukraine next! Exciting!

Finland: I forgot to say in the semis that I think the Finland hat is a cute idea - monsters showing pride in their country. Sounds better than in the semis. Calculations: Though I set this as having a "big chance to win" in the voting simulation, I predict it won't place higher than fourth.

Wow, did shakira last album do so badly she needs to pretend to be ukrainian?

OK I understand that performance plays a big part in Ukraine's appeal, so I'm not getting it muchly. She sings very well and the balalaika bit was not bad. Too slavic though..

I loved Finland. Underneath all that posturing and pyrotechnics there is a really catchy little pop song trying to get out.
Ukraine. From the kitchen it really does sound like Shakira. Another one to watch.
This has really picked up in the second half, hasn't it?

Never thought I'd say this, but I'm actually quite proud of Lordi right know. They rocked! Just the kick this evening needed.
Ukraine's Tina is super cute ...well especially after Lordi.

Why do France insist on sending a French-language song every year?

I really didn't like the Ukranian entry actually. I wasn't that fond of it at the semis to be honest.

Why do France insist on sending a French-language song every year? I think they once had a song with one line in English and it didn't do very well ....

France:
I understand why they want to sing in French all the time, but can't we have something up-tempo now & again??
No one but Monaco will vote for this.

France: I want it to do well because I'm spending a week in Paris but I know it won't, and she's a bit off key and shouty. I like her dress though. I spent this performance getting my stikla ready. Severina is next!

I don't think the French song is that bad, just completley out of context. It's almost like they send something serious and po faced and earnest everytime to try and give the message that they really don't give a shit and they're better than everyone else anyway so they don't need to try. At least us and Germany have a laugh with it ( and Italy don't bother anymore).
I want Croatia's dress.

The Croatian woman looks like she's had too much plastic surgery... a bit like that character from "Tittybangbang"!

Croatia: She sounds better than she did at the national selection. The dancing is good for heels.
She says "Afrika paprika!" and then rips off her skirt. Amazing.
