Austria: Mediocre song, good voice, horrible outfit, "meh" stage show (which is to say none). Possible qualifier. Reserving judgment.
Estonia: Like Austria, only with better clothes and at least an attempt at a stage show. Feel good. Will probably qualify.
Slovenia: Tonight's first song with an actual stage show. Pretty good one, too. Competent vocals, OK song, good stage show. Bonus points for the Swedish. *QUALIFIER*
Croatia: They've kept the worst part of their performance in the national final: Mostly singing to each other and looking into the crowd instead of trying to connect to the TV audience. This will cost them. It's all very wholesome, beautiful and melodic, but also very detached. I don't think they'll qualify as of right now.
Denmark: She smiles too much when singing a song that's pretty depressing. Overall, very competent. I still don't want it to win. But it'll do very, very well. *QUALIFIER*
Russia: A pretty powerful performance, even if I still hate the song. The gimmick with the bracelets was nice. *QUALIFIER*
Ukraine: Too many sweeping shots. Way too many. Good performance, but underwhelming. I think they've shot themselves in the foot with the stage show. I won't win, which is a shame. *QUALIFIER*
Netherlands: Good voice (duh), pretty good song, but too much of a high-brow feel over it all. She doesn't keep her eyes open or try to engage the TV audience. The song is also a bit too "real music" for Eurovision. Her chances of qualifying are a bit shaky. *QUALIFIER (maybe)*
