Georgia was the worst so far. Her voice has the power of a feather duster.
Switzerland and Albania were the best, along with Russia.

I had forgotten about this thread.
My top 10:
1. Switzerland (full package)
2. Poland (a lot of potential)
3. Georgia (a lot of potential)
4. Armenia (a pleasant surprise)
5. Turkey (almost there)
6. Albania (vocals and graphics are great)
7. Serbia (a bit empty but great colours)
8. Russia (boring and too overproduced + dark)
9. Norway (bad vocals)
10. Finland (everything's bad)

my impressions of the first rehearsals (whatever's on the internet right now). Also, I don't know if their vocals are live, so I assume they're live:
Switzerland: Backdrop and lighting works well with her song- soft and gentle. HER VOICE IS AMAZING. Excellent
Poland: Great dance move, her voice is great. I didn't even look at the backdrop because I loved their moves. I felt like they were all clumped together in one spot, also the guy backing vocal should stand more confidently. Otherwise, a good performance.
Albania: Nice vocals, very natural sounding, meh backdrop. decent performance.
Norway: Meh vocals, charming bunch of people on stage, good backdrop. Average.
Armenia: the boxing theme is really random, but it kept me interested. The dancers were great, they were well practiced. She doesn't sound horrible at all. Above average
Serbia: Back drop works well with her song. She sounds great, and her backing vocals/dancers are great too. Very Dream Girls-ey. Really cute. Great performance.
Russia: Great back drop, + that moving LED was great too. Moves were great! I think the audio on the vid was really bad so I can't really judge his vocals.
Turkey: Everything is good, except that weird looking sphere with the lady inside it. Nice performance and backdrop
Georgia: I love those costumes. They look great on stage! The vocals is still as good as before. I want them to be a little bit more intense though.
Finland: He doesn't look that great on stage. I want more emotion from his face, he looks too serious.

My opinion of the rehearsals:
Poland: good opener, but the song doesn't stuck in my mind.
Norway: love it, the voice can surely be better, but this has to qualify
Albania: much better than I expected. Still her voice is a bit annoying for me but ok...
Armenia: really bad, this may not qualify but it will i'm afraid
Turkey: not as good as last year, good rehearsal but it must be more powerful
Serbia: nice colours on the background, it is a happy song, but this can't convince me
Russia: the best performance of the day, this is a sure qualfier and can be top 5 in final.
Switzerland: love her performance, for me it's a qualifier, I hope europe thinks the same
Georgië: you couldn't hear her voice good, but didn't liked it overall
Finland: I still like it, but the background is so bland, I'm afraid this song will fade away altough i love the lyrics
Poland: good opener, but the song doesn't stuck in my mind.

Here is my ranking on the rehearsals from today!
1. Georgia - This was a great rehearsal! Emotional and awesome singing and this mystic feeling in the preformance is just overwhelming. This will so pass and could even shock and be top 10 in the final!
2. Norway - Who can not be happy seeing Stella preform! That smile, that danceroutine, this song, everything is just perfect. She sings much better than the NF-preformance, thanks to the new production. HABA HABA HUJAZA KIBABA!
3. Russia - This is a really good preformance, modern and cool. Alexey sings very well and looks superconfident, almost too confident. As a Swede I am afraid of the slight similarities in the dancing with Eric Saade. But still good one and will easily pass.
4. Finland - He sings very well and I love the backdrop with the earth spinning. Some parts of the song almost gives me goosebumps, but also they are parts there Paradise Oskar loses me completly. But don't be surprised to see this in the final, but it could fail too.
5. Albania - WHAT A SINGER! Vocally this is no problem for Aurela, who could almost be heard without the microphone. The backdrop is mystical and I love the fire that shoots out in the chorus. Though why are the backing singers moving like it was last years entry...it just disturbs the vibe completly. And that she will wear a similar dress to the one in the official vid scares me..there are more beautiful ones..
6. Poland - Magdalena is a postive surprise for me, since I thought this would sound awfully vocally. But she sings the song very well and the preformance feels modern. But I just can't see people or jury voting this through..
7. Switzerland - I like the backdrop, the dress and the overall feeling. But jesus, this will be boring on TV, I'm sure of it.
8. Turkey - The singing is very good, but when will the song start live up to it's name? This is actually really boring on stage and I don't understand what the woman in the ball is doing and why she is there...Very well I guess we'll found out later on. This will pass anyway I believe.
9. Serbia - First time I saw it I thought it looked okay. 2nd time it just felt old-fashioned and boring. The song and preformance is basically everywhere and doesn't help the song or Nina, that is herself a good preformer, anything. Just weird and I can't see Serbia make it through.
10. Armenia - Gosh how silly with these Boxing thingies..but this just screams that it will pass. The song is catchy, the preformance with shouting "heys" and such is just so Eurovision that is has to pass. But I don't like it at all...

Very weak rehearsals No one impressed me. Only Switzerland is not bad and Serbia. Though, I expect much more from Nina.

Poland: Better than I expected. Nice moves. She'll try to get more pts with a sexy outfit.
Norway: I can't be objective. Every time I start to listen to the song, can't help smiling
Only 2 things: there are too much blue. Red, yellow, green would be better imo. And I hate that dress.
Albania: Cool performance. Nice backdrop. They'll so qualify.
Armenia: Joke. Boxing theme, armchair, stupid stars?
Turkey: Their performance was good, no surprise there. Backdrop is ok. I'm confused about the dancer.
Serbia: Everything is ok except the song. I don't like it. But the retro show & great colours will take viewers' attention.
Russia: My fav today. It's a surprise 'cuz I never liked neither the song nor Alex himself. Their retro clothes made me feel like watching Grease And his backflip reminded me of grandpa Sakis. (I missed him btw)
Switzerland: No surprise. Their performance was as how I imagined. Those clouds and stars were stupid though. They could have try something classy.
Georgia: Very well. Except the clothes, I liked everything about their rehearsal epecially the wall backdrop.
Finland: I fell asleep while I was watching. I don't remember his rehearsal
