Greece didn't take San Marino's place in the Final.
Because Greece was in top-3 in the Semi,mark my words.

Sad about San Marino, vocally it wasn't her night though she did well last night during the Jury final. At this point I don't blame people for questioning the results with the same countries qualifying every year with songs widely considered weaker but we'll have to wait for the split result breakdown before running into conclusions. It's tough being in the green room watching the losing delegations hugging and supporting each other.

This was a step into the right direction and maybe next year it will be even better. It's a shame knowing that if this would be the song from some other countries it would fly through.

Don't blame Eastern Europe for the bad draw (besides Azerbaijan/Russia/Ukraine had pretty bad draws themselves). NONO Blame Bjorkman who made the draw himself and the San Marino delegation for not paying him enough for a good draw like the Dutch did! :roll: Malta had a pretty bad draw and yet they passed. xshrug

Valentina sounded great but the performance didn't really sing or have the spark it needed. They could have created more atmosphere at the beginning with some fog, add some pyro. at the tempo change, have the wind machine go a little stronger (I barely noticed it) and maybe Valentina could have worked the dress and move a little more. It just felt a little flat. xshrug:|

This goes for a lot of country's only than they have to get over it...
I think it was bad for her that Italy could not vote tonight.

And for me, I'm happy that Belgium and the Netherlands were in the same semi

Christer Bjorkman is the devil. He ruin Eurovision this year for us.. "Oh lets change the rules to make the show more interesting. I WANT to choose order of songs. Oh lets put three countries in a row who struggle to qualify as the first three performing. Lets have a dodgy sound technicians that half the acts have had to suffer with a like poor Lozano". I can no believe this. Literally the worst semi final results I have a ever witnessed in a the contest. I'm disgustant. San Marino, Israel, Albania, Bulagria literally robbed. As well as a Macedonia. It's not acceptable. I'm disgustant. This man Christer Bjorkman along with disapora voting has totally killed the contest. I cry.

I need them! It's a sad day. We need to plan a few massacres for those responsible for this cruel act!

Please, guys, before you attempt to start discussion with laughing haters now, just ignore it. No need for arguments at this point.

Me too. After the failure of Corinna May, Valentina... his music is too good for a the contest. It reach the heart of the people that look deeper. He should abandon the contest and write an album for Valentina.

My King, can you tell Rainywoods to come back because there is Cezar who needs his love ! ;)

BTW :lol: Cezar can't stop talking at the press conference ! But he's very interesting ! :)

How anyone can question her vocals after some of the vocal shockers tonight is beyond me. Vocally Valentina was better than almost everyone and was flawless last night. I can't believe the likes of Hungary, Romania and Armenia are through.

So we've learned that foreign language songs just don't seem to do well anymore. Only 3 of the 10 were not in English, and the Greek chorus was in English. It is such a shame.

My friend, I no no how anyone can recover from spontaneously combusting? It look a like he in a better place now. He's with his favourite artists now in the clouds above.. Nico, Billie Holiday, Nick Drake, Dalida, Judee Sill and Chet Baker. He says where he is people have a good music taste. Only the music he likes is played. I want to join him but I have duties on a this planet to give people strength to carry on believing and flying on the wings of confidence. The message of Valentina's song is still strong. She still is a winner as she touch so many of us. We must emerge from our chrysalis and fly.


Warmest regards,

Valentino.

I wouldn't say flawless, she had one or two problems, nothing very important, but she didn't go for the great finale as she used to. Armenia's song may be bland and he may lack charisma, all true, but he was one of the best singers of the night.

Hungary I really don't understand. Totally the worst moment of the whole thing xshrug

I can't understand talking about vocals because she was good, maybe not spot-on but really not even near weak or bad so anyone could talk about it like a factor which caused the lack of qualification... I think Margaret was very, very insecure whole song for example, but no one cared.
