SEMI 2 DISCUSSION

[Synergise]

So much better than I was expecting! Vocally, one of the best tonight (which doesn't say much).

 

[alexa]

I am sure Belarus will be proud of this girl but it stays in the semi

 

[californiadreaming]

Well, i think we did great

 

[FallenAngelII]

Do We Love Belarus(?):
Her vocals are weak. But the chorus is dangerously memorable. It's iffy whether or not the juries will give it minus points for being demi-political and glorifying Europe's last dictatorship.

My Predictions:
Bosnia - Olsen Brother vibe, Qualifier
Austria - OK song sung by probably tonight's best singer, quaifier
The Netherlands - No longer qualifying
Belgium - Bitch, please
Slovaka - Screwed over by Slovenia, out
Ukraine - Qualifier
Moldova - Probably not, might steal Slovakia's or the Netherlads' spot, though
Sweden - Unfortunately, it'll probably qualify
Cyprus - Qualifier (shaky)
Bulgaria - Qualifier
F.Y.R. Macedonia - Accordion, begone!
Israel - Too little dancing, out!
Slovenia - Qualifier
Romania - Qualifier
Estonia - Qualifier
Belarus - Qualifier (possibly shaky)

(the two "Shaky" qualifiers will probably be witched out with other entries later on)

Belarus... I expected that it would be worse.

 

[alexa]

Oh, and yes, Estonia - I could see this win, although not my personal fovourite - final? SURE

 

[Synergise]

I actually think this could get through. It's pretty catchy, and stands out from the rest of the weak balads in this semi.

 

[AlekS]

Latvia - horrible... so far nobody except Slovenia managed to impress me.

 

[alexa]

I just love the beat of Latvia's song - and the guy is charismatic - it seems to be the secret ingredient of this year's contest. Latvia to the finals!

 

[Valvejoodik]

Voted for Bulgaria and Latvia

 

[Misi]

I already forgot there was a Latvian song

Estonia:
I can barely discern what he's singing. And the song is some kind of hybrid of dated 90's rock and modern rock. The rap doesn't annoy me, actually.

My Predictions:
Bosnia - Olsen Brother vibe, Qualifier
Austria - OK song sung by probably tonight's best singer, quaifier
The Netherlands - No longer qualifying
Belgium - Bitch, please
Slovaka - Screwed over by Slovenia, out
Ukraine - Qualifier
Moldova - Probably not, might steal Slovakia's or the Netherlads' spot, though
Sweden - Unfortunately, it'll probably qualify
Cyprus - Out
Bulgaria - Qualifier
F.Y.R. Macedonia - Accordion, begone!
Israel - Too little dancing, out!
Slovenia - Qualifier
Romania - Qualifier
Estonia - Qualifier
Belarus - Qualifier (possibly shaky)
Latvia - This is a tough one, but I just gave Latvia Cyprus' qualifier spot

(the two "Shaky" qualifiers will probably be witched out with other entries later on)

 

[Synergise]

Latvia probably deserve to get through.

 

[Paddy]

I like the Belarusian song, but the voice was terrible.
I love Bulgaria & Estonia.

 

[Sim]

Qualifiers so far for me

Bosnia
Austria
Ukraine
Sweden
Cyprus
Israel
Romania
Estonia

 

[Sabiondo]

Denmark can be Finland 2.0 in this semi-final

 

[AlekS]

And another vote goes to Denmark

 

[alexa]

If only the Danish song weren't a clear copy of Andreas Johnson's hit from 2006... I would have it in my top 3, this way...hmmmm NO!
P.S. My dog likes it - he has been looking at the TV all through it

Denmark:
It's like being to a really cool rock concert. It reminds me of Turkey last year in many (positive) ways. If this doesn't qualify, I've lost all faith in the juries.

Would be nice if this forum actually worked for more than a few minutes
