1. United Kingdom 17/20
He was great, he owned (albeit a minor hiccup), I loved it!
2. Hungary 7/20
Undeserving and they showed it. There was a slight improvement but good bad or ok bad is still BAD
3. Albania 11/20
I don’t know what Baku was awing about every time she sang those long notes because for every second they lasted a piece of my soul was falling away. On top of that, she brought a new meaning to rat tail!!
4. Lithuania 14/20
It keeps getting better more and more. His secret must have been from the fact that he blindfolded himself from Eurovision
5. Bosnia-Herzegovina 11/20
Very sweet but it met no improvement, oh well
6. Russia 14/20---- RUNNER-UP
They were impressive the first time but let’s get serious, there was a lot lacking thus time
7. Iceland 17/20
It remains my favourite to win, they did an awesome job!!
Jónsi however lost his cool a bit there, I don’t know what happened
8. Cyprus 15/20
Her voice bothered me less. She performed nicely this time
9. France 17/20
Such an impressive start though somehow I think she was falling flat on her face as the song progressed. I caught a glimpse of Paris 2013, but it faded
10. Italy 18/20
Now this was brilliant,I wasn’t keen on an English translation but she was fine. The crowd hardly reacted though….
11. Estonia 18/20
Almost flawless, but he stretched too far with trying to give a powerful performance
12. Norway 13/20
He used his voice this time, it was not too bad but nothing spectacular either
13. Azerbaijan 16/20 ---- HOST
Kim Kardashian anyone? I think I might get shot for comparing an Azerbaijani with an Armenian #fail
This was a very decent performance and a worthy defender I enjoyd it. I culdn’t shake off this aspect of noise from her, I thought she had a lack of voice control. It was fantastic!
14. Romania 15/20
A looooooooot better and no hiccups!
15. Denmark 17/20
Such a splendid number. She was a bit loud and overly confident, but thanks Soluna!
16. Greece 14/20
I finally realised why I don’t like this one ----It’s nothing new from Greece. She does win the cute award though :)
BTW it’s pronounced a-fro-dee-ZHEE-ak. Or maybe you can’t read simple broken-down English too
17. Sweden 17/20 ---- WINNER
I understand the symbolism and interpretation behind the words, song and staging and yes it is amazing. Nicely done
18. Turkey 8/20
This one was the insult to all the good songs that failed to qualify. What's up with the wired capes???
19. Spain 20/20
The best performance of the night
20. Germany 14/20
This one was hard to appreciate after Spain. It wasn’t bad, it was simple and straight to the point
21. Malta 11/20
No improvement. At least the girl at the end calmed down this time. Party and upbeat (not really), that’s it
22. FYR Macedonia 13/20
That was pleasing, a nice comeback to the finals
23. Ireland 9/20
Your sorry act made the final, at least try….
24. Serbia 18/20
Brilliant and magical
25. Ukraine 11/20
It's still a decent performance; but how she shouted her way to 15th place is beyond me
26. Moldova 16/20
I still adore this one, Pasha Parfeny is an amazing performer I thoroughly enjoyed it.
