Pretty good. Not enough close ups of Gabriela.

Was Sergey actually singing? It seemed more like playback or someone else singing behind.

Gabriela has done a classy performance.
Best performance so far: Armenia.

Impressive vocals from Czech Republic.

I think she goes through.

Cyprus

After a ballad some good old rock.
Good draw for Cyprus.

Again, good vocals, nice tune, I am liking this.

Cyprus - great song and very charismatic leading singer, that is a sure qualifier.

Strong performance from Cyprus. Francois looked a little too punk-goth for my likings.

Last year's winner was everything but original.

This is a different case, tho.

Interactive visuals did make an impact last year, because I don´t remember when were they used previously before ESC 2015 (if you do have one specific example, please remind me).

The problem is that coming right next year with similar kind of staging will immediately make people think that Russia is trying hard to emulate Mans´s formula. I also got that kind of impression as I watched.

I didn't like Cyprus before, but their live performace and stage performance, are very good. I think they will go to the final...

Cyprus is good, but all these sharp camera cuts are distracting.

I hope. So far it's the only tune I remebered.

Zoe looks incredibly jittery. Poor girl.

Impressive staging from Russia

I'm on the opposite side on this one. I felt that the staging was way overdone. It looked like they were trying to do so many things at once. They could have cut back a bit on the gimmicks, imo.

Austria

Something is off here.
Vocals are ok but the song itself is somehow...it's like it's too fast or something.
