They gave him a lukewarm greeting. Not qualifying.
Latvia: A random Youtube commenter described PeR the best: "Latvian Jedward?". Who knows, it might qualify. Lithuania did. I'll reserve judgment 'til a later point in time. Just like with Lithuania two days ago, SVTPlay's feed decided to freeze up on me on his entry, so chance are they'll qualify.
*QUALIFIER* San Marino: I barely got to see any of it. I think it'll qualify, though.
Former Yugoslav Republic Macedonia: He's great. She's terrible. Why does she get the longest "scatting" breaks ever, with her terrible singing voice? What happened t his glasses? He looks better wearing them. The camera angles are terrible. What are the backing singers wearing? Literal potato sacks? Probably won't qualify.
*QUALIFIER* Azerbaijan: Possibly the most sophisticated entry tonight. Will probably be loved by the juries. Dancer in black should've had a fake mic and mimed, though.
*QUALIFIER* Finland: Too little focus on the dancers for an entry with so much choreography. Not enough cheering from the audience for the kiss. She sounded worse vocally than usual. Could just be overworked. I still want this to win. It'd be hilarious and well-deserved.
*QUALIFIER* Malta: He reminds me of a Hobbit, for some reason. Cute song, great use of the screens (Karaoke! Also a good way of ensuring people remember the lyrics).
*QUALIFIER* Bulgaria: This contest needs more etno. And hip hop bagpipe players. I'm glad she's a much better singer now than the last time she was in Eurovision. Aaaand drop the bass! What the... dat headdress! They deserve to qualify on that headdress alone.
Iceland: I don't think this will qualify, but it might. The same people who voted for Estonia in semi-final #1 have to vote for someone tonight, why not him? It's a bit too straight-forward and boring, though. At least Estonia's artist took a walk down the catwalk.
*QUALIFIER* Greece: Please don't qualify. Please don't qualify. Please don't qualify. The live performance was more enjoyable for me than I thought it would be, though. One of those weird entries where I prefer the live version to the album version.
Israel: I bet some viewers are wondering what the lady in that sketch about getting lost in Copenhagen on her way to Malmö right now. As for the song and performance: She's a good singer and the song isn't exactly bad, but it's not a song that'll stick to your mind if you listen to it only once.
Armenia: This song was in desperate need of a stage show... or at least something interesting happening on the TV screens. The lack of both will cost them dearly.
*QUALIFIER* Hungary: Hipsterrific! I would've liked his vocals to be better, but they're good enough. The song is so interesting. The background video as well. Why is P!nk is backing singer? Why does he keep looking downwards between each line? Will he sing the last chorus in Swedish? Aaaaand he didn't.
*QUALIFIER* Norway: What's with the random dancing and smiles? This is a very dark song! Still great, though. Might have needed something interesting happening in the background, if only on the TV screens, though.
Albania: It's not bad. It's just another entry that a lot of people won't vote for because it didn't interest them much. You can't just show up to Eurovision with a rock song and pretend to play your instruments on stage while singing. The people want a real show.
*QUALIFIER* Georgia: They need to make better use of those screens. If any entry has been in desperate need of something spectacular (like a waterfall) being shown on those screens, it's this one. I'll take back this entry's chances of qualifying are "potato", though. It's not set in stone, however. She's very much off-key at times.
*QUALIFIER* Switzerland: Better singing than in their national final, but still flat. What the... why is she singing?! This is not how this song was presented on the album version! The old guy looks are confused as ever. I think this will qualify. I originally thought I'd already marked ten other entries as qualifying, but I hadn't.
Romania: It's Liberace's and Dracula's love child. Why are the dancers painted the same colour as the entire stage and background video?! As they too ashamed to be seen on the same scene as Liberacula? Chances of qualifying: Potato.
Latvia: A random Youtube commenter described PeR the best: "Latvian Jedward?". Who knows, it might qualify. Lithuania did. I'll reserve judgment 'til a later point in time. Just like with Lithuania two days ago, SVTPlay's feed decided to freeze up on me on his entry, so chance are they'll qualify.

Prepare for some of the best (Agnes) and worst (Darin) Sweden has got when it comes to pop singers.

Wait... the Green Room being in a different building, a thought just occurred: Won't the walk the winner has to take to perform the winning entry again be extra long this year?

This was hard. You can replace San Marino and/or Iceland with with pretty much any other entry (besides FYR Macedonia). Yes, I think that even Romania can qualify...
Norway is my favourite. I like it more than Denmark. Go Norway!

Exactly.
It's why I'm furious they chose him as one of the interval act artists to perform 2 (2!!!!!!) of his songs on stage. Nobody outside of Sweden knows him. We could've hired the Knife, Swedish House Mafia, any number of famous acts, but we chose Darin. Screw you, too, Christer Björkman!
But the second semi is better then first. The croud is alive and cheerfull. I love it
