Greece:
The Sweidsh commentators talked so much ******************** about Stereo Mike during the postcard segment.
Wow, he's even worse than I gleaned from Youtube clips. This song might've been savable had it started out with Loukas singing and then gone on to having Stereo Mike rapping, but since it's Stereo Mike opening the song with a 30 seconds segment of pure ineptitude, I think Greece might be facing their first failure to qualify for the final.
My current predictions:
Poland - out
Norway - qualifier (1)
Albania - out
Armenia - qualifier (2)
Turkey - qualifer (3)
Serbia - qualifier (4)
Russia - qualifier (5)
Switzerland - qualifer (6)
Georgia - out
Finland - qualifier (7)
Malta - out
San Marino - out
Croatia - out
Iceland - qualifier (8)
Hungary - qualifier (9)
Portugal - out
Lithuania - out
Azerbaijan - qualifier (10)
Greece - out
(these qualifers may change as the night wears on. Albania is still very iffy and might be switched with another entry at any time)

Shame that rapper ruins the Greek entry. I usually LOVE the Greek entries too, probably my favourite country in the contest

Ironic that a song called Watch my Dance has little dancing in it

I'm watching this semi from Germany and even our own commentators were commenting over mobile 
But they are back again now.
So far, quite mixed
Poland - sadly weaker than expected
Norway - was fun, should be in
Albania - seemed a bit forced at first, but became quite energetic by the end. a shame the song just isn't good.
Armenia - the first time that I nearly liked the song. so it should be sadly in.
Turkey - solid. good song. sure qualifier.
Serbia - best performance of the song yet. i'll eat my hat if this doesn't qualify.
Russia - ugh, can't stand the guy, can't stand the song. so it will undoubtly be in the top 10 of the final. shakey performance.
Switzerland - thought she was better in the rehearsals and the song is just so nothing. not memorable in the least, so I sadly see nearly no chances for our neighbours
Georgia - chorus was fine, but the verses were not sung that well. I liked it better in the cd version and prefered the second rehearsal. I still hope it will make it to the final.
Finland - yeah, tom dyce & the islanders all over again. but not as good as both guitar acts last year imho. still a solid performance, so he might catch a place in the final.
Malta - flawless performance, but his flamboyant style will not convince that many and let's be honest, the song is weak
San Marino - suprisingly weak performance, out for sure
Croatia - no, this didn't get any better. out.
Iceland - strong vocal performance and you could see that they had fun. might be in.
Hungary - I like the song way more in the official video, but the performance was easily good enough to qualify.
Portugal - Yeah, they did fine and I really like the guys, but there is not a snoball's chance in hell that they will see the final.
Lithuania - this girl can sing. great vocal performance. sad that her song is sooo boring. thanks to the really strong performance she might stand a chance to my huge surprise.
Azerbaijan - I expected them to be better. They vocals were really shakey up until at least the middle of the song. Will still make it.
Greece - I quite like the chorus. It has power. But that rapper dude sooo annoys me! As it is Greece it is of course in the final.

Rapping was terrible, but the song worked really well and the stage show was excellent plus the crowd ate it up.

Trivia:
Not only does Australia air the contest (semi-finals and all), they have their own commentators!
