I know that Serbia's representor is freaking ugly and you get scared when you see her, but she has really good voice and for me the song "Molitva" is quite good.
However, I can't "prognose" what's gonna happend, but I think we'll certanly get to final.

You forgot Slovenia and Albania

Second dress rehearsals finished and here are some some comments on the performances.I'm quite surprised.

Bulgaria - Absolutely excellent beginning . This went down a storm in the hall. Great vocals

Israel - A few changes to the backdrop but no major changes to be honest. the main change seems to be the addition of a rolling set of countries on a map. The camera work when looking at the screen in the arena seems to be the manic camera work that was in the Israeli Final/preview so this is what the Israeli delegation wanted. Reaction was ok in the hall, but less positive than Bulgaria

Cyprus - Evridiki is getting better with each performance in my opinion. This was an excellent performance and this also went down well in the hall.

Belarus - Again, a good performance by Koldun and a great reaction, but surprisingly, the reaction for Cyprus semed to be better.

Iceland - Good performance and an average reaction in the hall

Georgia - The dancers are in grey and this was also a good rehearsal except So´pho's vocal in a few places was a bit shouty which was not the best. A decent reaction from the audience.

The presenters then welcome Georgia and Czech Republic to the show by saying hello to them in their languages.

Montenegro - Stepen looks like he left his pajama trousers on , his vocals were good as was the performance. The reaction was ok.

Switzerland - This was a very polished performance from DJ Bobo, the vocals were the best of the week. I still think that it lacked something but it got a good reaction.

Moldova - Excellent performance, great vocal and also a great reaction.

The Netherlands - Well, Edsilia knows how to see her song. This was an amazing performance. the song is still not strong but the perfoance is lifting this up my ranking. Crown loved it in the hall.

Albania - A nice perfomance , female backing singer in a gold dress, good vocals but a quiet reaction at the end from the audience

Denmark - fabulous performnance from Denmark except for DQ's vocals at many of the high parts of the song which he will need to sort out. Crowd loved it. Red dress used and a final costume change near the end of the song.

Croatia - Good performance from Croatia but , without doubt, the quietest crowd reaction to any country in the semi today.

Poland - I thought this was a good peformance but the crowd reaction was only ok for this one.

Serbia - Vocally brilliant but presentation has got worse. She walks on stage with her hand in her pocket and this looks really bad to me. It is a great song and the crowd reaction was really good but it did not bring the house down.

Czech Republic - A good performance of the song from Kabat and an average crowd reaction

Portugal - Now, this was performed well by Sabrina and it got a good response from the crowd.

FYR Macedonia - Good performance, backing singers on chairs looks bad to me though. Average crowd response

Norway - A great performance from Guri which got one of the best responses from the audience.

Malta - One of the best visual presentations of the semi and a great performance with a really good crowd reaction. Really want to see how it comes across on camera though.

Andorra - Excellent performance and excellent crowd reaction. If this does not qualify I will be so surprised.

Hungary - Now I love this song but I'm not sure if the Bus Stop on stage is a good idea. An excellent performance which got a good crowd response but maybe not a wide enough appeal to get enough votes?

Estonia - Another good performance with an average crowd response.

Belgium - Now, this has also gone up for me. Great performance and a great crowd reaction.

Slovenia - This was a good performance but I'd say she was holding back this afternoon. Personally, I think that the dress is awful but the vocal was great and the crowd reaction was really good.

Turkey - Loved this. This has jumped up for me as well. A really excellent performance from Kenan and the crowd in te hall loved it also.

Austria - Now , the presentation and performance for Austria was also excellent , much improved on anything that they have done so far this week but the crowd reaction was average.

Latvia - Best crowd reaction of the night (closely followed by Bulgaria). Vocally and visually strong. this would be another surpise if it didn't qualify

I totally agree!

Albania's song suuucks, yes, I forgot Slovenia, and I really like that song, especially singer [lol], but I haven't heard Czech Republic so I can't comment it.

Anyway, I agree with you La Aurora, but also with you Spyreto.

This outfit is going to score. That's the reason why I put Moldova on my list. I'm still a bit unsure about Bulgaria but since it opens the show, it's going to get the attention. Great to see lots of diversity this year. It's good for the contest.

fanoff · 10-05-2007, 18:18

My prediction for the semi qualifiers:

Turkey
Serbia
Andora
Belarus
Switzerland
Moldova
Cyprus(South part,thats what we call it)
Bulgaria
Georgia
Poland

Some likely qualifiers among Netherlands,Slovenia and Iceland won't be a surprise for me,but others will sure be!Have fun while you post your comments here,i wont be doing like that

Blakeich · 10-05-2007, 19:06

forre · 10-05-2007, 19:10

Blakeich, If you like opera, then you forgot Latvia. There you got a real opera and it's in Italian as well. LOL.

spyretto · 10-05-2007, 20:09

Hi, I'm here for the usual nonsense from ESc

The Bulgarian girl seems a bit nervous and I doubt that the song qualifies based on this performance.
Followed by an embarrassing song/performance from Israel

coolasfcuk · 10-05-2007, 20:14

ha ha, just great, crack the voice JUST when you have to perform... oh well... im outta here, HUGE review tomorrow, so no time to watch this kitsch right now....... but what disappointed sining from elitsa! and she CAN sing...

Argos · 10-05-2007, 20:14

After the insult against music from the first two competitors it can only get better!

spyretto · 10-05-2007, 20:16

Evridiki is crap too, you'd expect she'd be more experienced in this kind of thing doing it for a 4th time

Argos · 10-05-2007, 20:18

Cyprus - at least we now know that it's a song contest.

lilacbeguile · 10-05-2007, 20:19

Israel was a tad hilarious!! bulgaria was soooo ¨shakira¨, and cyprus reminds me of Carola, I really don´t know why...
