Marina looks to me like this year's Brunette. Fanwank that no one votes

 

[Romy]

I Like the song from greece

 

[soulm8]

Not Ireland and Greece slaying much more than in the e Semi! Ajdeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[jatojo]

Greece: She sang much better in the beginning than in the semi - so that was probably "manipulated" as well. And the fact that she doesn't sing the "da da da" part annoys me.

 

[Kev4000]

With this pants she looks like a toddler full of shit in it.

Bravo Marina I love her, I'm so proud.

Here I am watching from Malaysia at 4.07am

Song 11: Latvia: The unexpected shock qualifier. It's a beautiful ballad, partly sung softly, and it has more powerful parts. I like the centrepiece of the staging, that being the big ciruclar structure, and the subtle lighting is what this called for. Dons is a talented singer to perform the way he did.

Song 12: Greece: This was one of my prefer not to qualify songs Thursday evening. Was the smartphone style video image at the start necessary? I don't like the beat that dominates the song. However I like the use of the Greek style sounds in the performance.

 

[Etanna]

I still don't get the greek staging but was able to enjoy the performance more than when I saw it for the first time and was just distracted by it

 

[Citelis]

The audience seems to love our entry.

 

[NeoTen]

Hey, everyone's wearing a shirt. Such a strange sight. Weird puffer skirt, but yay girl rappers. And on beat. Times have changed.

 

[Chrisiam]

Come on Olly, give us nothing!

 

[cassio]

GO Alexander

 

[hawadharma]

I wouldn't watch UK show with kids
Too many questionable choices

 

[jatojo]

The vulgar visuals of the UK act will surely not be everyone's taste.

 

[musicfan]

The dancing in the Greek song is quite well staged, unquestionably a vast improvement all round on last year.
