Vocals aren't everything, but it stinks a little that 3 out of the 4 top vocalists here might not make it (Raiven, Hera & Natalia). Why don't these ladies have better songs/stagings. At least I'm sure Iolanda will make it

Raiven's and Natalia's songs are fine.

 

[Biste]

That was one big, unnecessary, cat.

2 unnecessary kitties

 

[jatojo]

Lol, the only element in the Ireland recap was a scream.

 

[ekzuu]

Anybody else looves lithuanias instrumental part, but dislikes chorus??

 

[gigi_copp3]

This 2nd half was terrible.
I think next year we'll have the producers' choice even in the Semis

 

[yuki_vamp.esc]

me enjoy few performances,

 

[gigi_copp3]

2 unnecessary kitties

I counted 3

 

[Chrisiam]

To be fair Ireland's clip does show off their vocals, from a certain point of view.

 

[Geborgenheit]

for the win!

 

[Etanna]

Lol, the only element in the Ireland recap was a scream.

most artists choose to show their big scream in the recap so it is often just a parade of different screams

 

[HarryUK]

I am taking cash bribes for votes btw

 

[ollibox]

Anyway, MY biggest surprise tonight was IRELAND! Not a fan in any way, but this was quite PERFECT!

 

[mauve]

Need these to Q: Ireland, Lithuania, Slovenia, Croatia, Moldova and Portugal, please!

 

[jatojo]

To be fair Ireland's clip does show off their vocals, from a certain point of view.

We don't even know if it is performed live, do we? Could be something pre-recorded.

 

[musicfan]

I want

Cyprus
Serbia
Ireland
Ukraine
Croatia
Slovenia
Moldova
Azerbaijan
Australia
Portugal

 

[NeoTen]

But seriously, the amount of naked people should be toned down, just a little.
