Angelina is amazing as always.

Song 15: Italy: An unusual style of song, to say the least. The singer has a nice voice. Staging includes the flowering thorn tree images on the stage floor. A key feature is the sculpture at the back of the stage; what's that meant to be? Falling fireworks provide the perfect end to this.

I preferred the original outfit But the song is great and she is an amazing singer! Loved it overall!

Lot of girlfriends all over the world sigh a breath of relief.

 

[Gwendal]

Well, sorry to remind you this, but:

More than ever, Annalisa would have won it all.

I took at toilet break when Serbia's song started, then went to the super market to buy some stuff, and when I came back, it was time for the chorus.

 

[cassio]

Serbia zzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[slatka]

LILA RAMONDA

I think Annalisa is the classic fan favourite flop that everyone loves but in fact no one votes at the right moments

 

[soulm8]

Classy performance from Serbia! Really classy, great voice and mood, this can be top 3 with the juries btw! In a surprise like Macedonia.

 

[Citelis]

Serbia has the most underrated entry this year!

 

[southernstars]

Adore Angelina. Her father was such a talented man and he would have been proud to see her slay on the Eurovision stage!

 

[Iker]

Serbia has a beautiful staging and the song is very pretty too.

 

[cassio]

Thank god it not a song contest....

 

[NemesisNick]

Song 16: Serbia: A beautiful ballad, some of which is sung softly, but there are some mroe powerful parts. I like the way Teya is on the artificial rock at the start, and the purple flower that grows on the background screen at the end. Was it necessary to include strobe lighting in part of this though?

 

[jatojo]

Loads and loads of singback on Finland. Not the way I want a song contest to be.

 

[cassio]

Jury: No points

 

[Shadowfuxcs]

Angelina was amazing and good thing they change costumes, I could actually see them now.
Serbia unfortunately was the 2nd toilet break from me after Germany. I didn't actually go to the toilet but in retrospect that would have been more exciting.

 

[Verjamem]

sorry serbia, you're in for bottom 5

If Israel will really get 400 or more points in televoting, results may be really interesting, different.

 

[hawadharma]

just throw this song in the gutter
