Song 14: The Netherlands: A bouncy, catchy song, and it has a good dance routine (the title hints that it needs a dance routine), but a middle of the road contender at best. Put it this way, it's not a winning song for the Netherlands, unlike "Arcade" in this year's adult ESC six months ago.

Karina's is very colorful! Or very pink-ful, to be exact! Although the CGI butterflies are unnecessary as fack.

The only thing I'm f***ing, is stupid
Riiiiiiight. Now ask any Pole if they would voluntarily like to switch the order with France or Spain, that's all the necessary information.
We can agree to disagree :D
But the fact is they put all the favorites in the beginning and it's really lame :)
Then maybe you have right, but I hope because corrupt broadcasters will have the upper hand (again)...

Song 16: Portugal: Another environmentally themed song. This was one of my most-liked songs among the preview videos. Joana Almeida has a good voice. During the live performance this afternoon, I thought she ought to have sung a bit more strongly at the start, but after the first verse she improved. Having selected lyrics in the background enhanced the song. "Vem Comigo (Come With Me)" certainly has an appropriate message, but could the weak start spoil its chances of a decent placing? Time will tell.

Joana's stage presence is big, although the LED adds 0 presence and somehow it feels empty at the same time. I'm sorry, Joana, but I gotta be really brutally honest, I did not like it.
