This was the best semi-final ever!!! So many great songs! :D I really enjoyed this semi. I was gutted that some had to miss out.

2009: Romania - 22nd
2010: Romania - 19th / Germany - 22nd - Won
2011: Romania - 17th / Azerbaijan - 19th - Won
2012: Romania - 14th / Sweden - 17th - ???

I love Loreen's draw a lot. Hope, Romanian draw will bring luck to Sweden.

Spain should simply think about that before choosing number 19 this year when it won the wildcard! Next year, the one who will get the wild card must choose number 14!

I was really glad Estonia got in finals,even tho i didnt like Ott`s song like this last night,he should stick to older version of no high screaming in this song.Other than that.xcheer
Now i was really disappointed about Lithuania-nothing good in this song what so ever:geek:

But best of luck to all who got in finals and i musta dmit im gonna look Finals this year with popcorn in hand + some coke:ee:

I predicted 9 of the 10 qualifiers again, just caught out by Malta qualifying over Slovenia. Very happy that Macedonia & Lithuania qualified though; Donny is a great singer and Kaliopi gave an awesome performance.

I would have loved the Netherlands and Slovenia to qualify, and I can't understand why the latter didn't. I thought they deserved it much more than Norway (Tooji gave by far the weakest performance last night, so disappointing), Turkey and Malta.


I think Sweden will win from their draw but hope Serbia at least gives Loreen a run for her money. I'll be rooting for Zeljko on Saturday :)

Guess it will be Serbia then who wins this year's contest with such a draw. Rooting for the UK, Estonia and Spain though! Really can't see why people are so excited about Sweden - the song isn't bad but I can barely hear what she says and think it's all slightly exaggerated. But that's just my opinion. ;)

how can i watch the full press conference of this semi's winners? I couldn't find any video in youtube. I could find only one video and it shows only the beginning of the conference.

very poor songs......low quality without class&style, with few exceptions. I'm afraid of that the Big Five, Sweden and some few entries have a gap between them and the euro-pop-pseudo-ethnic entries from the rest of the finalists. It should be high quality music&entertainment and not a race who's going to be the most weird-trash presentation

SWEDEN ROCKED :se:

Sorry, with due respect, but Sweden didn't rock at all. It was a horrible performance of Loreen, probably the worst of all her rehearsals. The Serbian singer did really well, so try being objective. I know, it's all a matter of everyone's own taste, but sung-wise, Georgia wasn't that awful. He also did a good singing job - whether you like the song or not.

Kaliopi performance was great last night. She was the best. If I would able to vote I suport Macedonia, but it wasn't Latvia's semi. Also ?eljko impressed. I was little disapointed for Estonia, I like old version better, it brings more emotions to me, but Ott is still among my favorites. I'm happy that Donny get to the final as well. I think this semi was better than the first.

If you say that her performance was "awful", then you should not talk about objectivity. I mean what do you compare with? I wasn't too impressed either, but it was far from an awful performance.

No singing job can save the awfulness of the Georgian entry. This is a SONG contest first and foremost.

I read an article who says that Spain don't want to win this year. This made me very sad.:(
