For me, the first 3:

1: Estonia
2: Ireland
3: Portugal

and Norway gets an extra prize as I can't even compare it with the other songs! But I love it :lol:

I also like the songs of Iceland, Switzerland, Finland, Lithuania, France and Romania :)

Netherlands send 'De Toppers'. I think they will return as 'De Floppers' (flop is also in Dutch a big failure)

This year, France will send a known singer, the one with the best recognition all over Europe, and especially Russia where she gave thousands of concerts... I name.... Patricia KAAS... My wife has been an ABSOLUTE fan for 19 years, so I begin to know the songs !!

Hopefully we will have some votes from Eastern Europe this year and will finish elsewhere than in the 5 last positions as usual :roll:
Je collectionne les billets neufs, surtout français 50 € et +, mais j'étudie avec plaisir toute offre ! Je peux les changer contre des 5 € non encodés ! N'hésitez pas à me contacter avant de froisser un 20 € grec neuf !

I collect Euronotes, especially French 50 to 500€, but very open to others !
I can swap your new notes vs. bunddles of non-entered 5 € notes ! Don't hesitate to pm me !

A very demanding French song this year, but is better than some of the most recent ones.

I like Germany and Norway songs particularly.

Today is the day :)
To be honest, I didn't watch the semi-finals, and I also haven't listened to any song except the german one.
I guess we'll achieve one of the last positions today, the german song is absolutely awful :(

I just know the songs from watching the show. Right now Albania is singing.

My favourites so far are Greece and Iceland.

And well, the German contribution this year is not as dull as it was too often in recent years. Should not be worse than rank 15.

The notes I took during watching:

Lithuania 2 Points boring
Israel 4 points okay
france: sang like she had pain, and I didn't understand a work --> 3 points
Sweden: opera, strange dress, but it had a certain charme. I liked it, 7 points
croatia: boring, pain for my ears. 2 points
portugal: well, I can't say much about that song, I was chatting with ravestorm, but seems it was nothing special. 3 points because I'm so kind.
Iceland: also here I didn't notice much because of several chats, but I liked it a bit. 5 points.
greece: strange outfit, gay singer, commercial song, but I liked it. 6 points
armenia: I loved the song of last year, but this one was absolutely not my taste. 2 points
russia: of course all russia wants that we vote for them, but it was ************************ - 1 point
azerbaijan: my family hates it, I love it!!!! 11 points
bosnia: a good song to fall asleep. 2 points
moldova: erm.. I wasn't too concentrated, but they jumped quite a lot on the stage. Now, 1 min after their show, I don't even remember the melody. 3 points, was obviously not important
Malta: hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm a bit boring. 4 points because I like ewri :)
estonia: I get more and more tired. 2 points
denmark: My mom loves the song. Obviously I don't like it then. 5 points
germany: not bad, not bad. But at the beginning Dita von Teese was almost not in the picture, what a waste of money. Though, 7 points
turkey: a nice difference to all the other good-night-songs. As I prefer up-tempo-songs: 10 points
Albania: Hm. Hm. Hm. Hm. A normal song, nothing else, nothing special, but not boring. 5 points
norway: Sorry, but not my taste. 2 points
ukraine: Also the irc-channel #eurovision thinks like I do: the song is awful, but the show and the girl are nice. 6 points
romania: really nothing special. 3 points for a lot of dancing
uk: I liked it! 9 points!
finland: cool rythm, but I still like azerbaijan better. 10 points
spain: normal pop song, nothing special, and looking at the fact that I don't like her haircut, I give her 4 points

1--> azerbaijan
2--> turkey
3--> finland

That's awful! I'm sorry to say this but Sweden's entry was just something I wouldn't have wanted to qualify to the final.
