Re: SEMI FINAL 2 - DISCUSSION - May 24th: 21:00 CET

Anyway I think Denmark is in a fine draw.. Between Romania and Greece.. Two generic pop songs which are both highly forgetable at least for me.. But then again.. Europe showed tonight that they like generic pop music.. I am looking forward to Saturday and cheering for Hungary and maybe Germany (because in the tidbit it sounds good..)

Voting 20 times would be a major waste of money.

Yup.. But you can do it and there is people stupid enough to do it :p

Denmark is as generic pop as can be.

Naah.. I would say it is a pop-song with a good acoustic twist.. I like the Danish song this year.. Find the song as a good easy listening with good lyrics, not normally what I see in ESC :)

The only bad thing I can say about Denmark is that it is a four chords song. But so is our german entry, and I clearly prefer Denmark. With her street musician background Soluna is the most natural performer in the entire field, and no other song connects so directly to the audience, if you ask me.

Malta qualifying???? What on earth happened today????. And Slovakia, Croatia, Portugal and Bulgaria were robbed. They were much better than Lithuania (he has a very good voice, but is an old fashioned song). Only politics matter, it seems there are countries that will never reach the final no matter if the song is awesome. At least im glad Georgia is not in the final.
But officially for me this has become the festival were i will dislike 1/4 of the songs at the final.

You can vote 20 times for the same song? But as I can see you like Sweden so please don't :p

haha, jeg er riiiiiimelig sikker på at lille Danmark giver 12 points til Sverige uanset om jeg så TOG 20 stemmer fra Sverige.

But Romanian and Greek songs will basically hide a Danish one, those two have much more catchy melodies and are easy to remember and sing along the whole day, which is not really the case with Denmark.

That is sadly true :) But I think that Juries will prefer the Danish song :)

The 2nd semi became as weak as the 1st one. Camera work was horrible almost for everyone. It seemed miles and miles better from the audience, what appeared on the TV screens was lifeless and omgWTF@ all far plans...


And again our faves coincided. Except our own entry, we liked Estonia, Sweden, Serbia.
While announcing the phone numbers they chose the worst clip for Loreen... the white light just merged lol, way to go. Thankfully it will be different for the final.
We were surprised with Belarus and Slovenia not qualifying.

Loreen will win imo, though our votes will go to Russia this time or maybe we aren't gonna vote at all.

I'd like to say that Moldova will be overrated thanks partly to its draw. I would rather have Ukraine end the show though ;).

Macedonia has a good draw :D

This was the worst semifinal i have ever seen, before semifinal 1 in 2010 was that, but that had like 4 great songs, this had just one fantastic killer song, 3 other songs was just ok (Malta, Bulgaria, Norway). Everything was just s**t, Serbia could not deliver live, Malta came with a beta-party song, Belarus sang '' we are the wieners '', Gaitana scared me! The screens had men, men with NO FACE :( :eek:, Nina from Croatia sang something that is suitable for a funeral with the churchbells and all, SWEDEN ROCKED :se:, Georgia was just awfull, Turkey did a funny performance with the boat, Estonia performed one of their best performances ever and Bosnia and Hercegovina hired Alicia Keys, Donny Montell sang about Love Is Blind, still there was ladies in short dresses in the backgrounds, if love is blind why do you have diamonds on your .. cover for you eyes?
Still a pretty good disco song.
