If legs could sing Aljona would be a contender.

I actually quite like the Belarusian song. But unfortunately the singer is one of the most uncharismatic this year.... She seems pretty uninspired...

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)*
Montenegro: From high-brow to low-brow. Please, Eurovision Goddesses, don't allow this entry to qualify. The girl is great, though, even if her singing voice is pretty whiny. SVT's feed randomly started lagging a lot during their performance and I'm not even mad.
Lithuania: SVT's feed randomly stopped working right as the song started, so I can only go by what I know of him and the song prior to this. Won't qualify. Quaint, but not memorable.
Belarus: As the only Latino-Turkish/Greek-pop-etno-mixture in this year's contest, this will probably pick up all of the votes Turkey or Greece usually gets. Also one of the few songs this semi with a proper stage show. *QUALIFIER*

Belarus : The song is so-so. But Aloyna has zero charisma and appeal. She by herself unfortunately manages to bring the entire stage show down, because the rest of it is competently done.

BBC commentators said exactly this.

Moldavia : The song isn't good but it is interesting at least. The stage show is typical Moldavian weird.

Yeah, It's almost as bad as the NF one. I liked her rehearsal hairstyle better, but it wouldn't have helped much anyway.Oh ! a new weird hairstyle !
She has missed her first notes but seems confident though her voice screams NERVOUUUUS !
She must wonder if she will stay in the sky !
