Second Semi Final Ratings
- Serbia: 8/10.
Okay, now THAT's a song!
Took me awhile to get through the cliche sound of that song, but it was really good.
Afraid I can't undertand the lyrics, but the music already puts you in the scene and theme of this song.
The singer is really good, it's catchy at most times, it gives you a certian hook to bite on.
Really good perfomance.
- F.Y.R. Macedonia: 6/10.
Some things really bugged me in this act right from the first second of this song:
1. The vocalist cannot contain her own voice - therefore it sounds like she tries a little too much to reach certian notes beyond her capablity.
2. The whole rock theme has the feel that it's forced into the song. It sounds squeezed in, and not very stable with this whole song.
It's fair, to be honest, to give this song six points for the effort - quite a good try to make a rockish act.
- The Nedelands: 0/10.
Once again I find myself in the wierd side of Eurovision.
What is this shit?
- Malta: 6/10.
Not half bad, this act.
So far, by the ratings of songs in this semi final, that was litteraly "the night".
Catchy, simple, common european old-school pop.
- Belarus: 5/10.
Seems ok.
It's not very ctachy, but it's quite a treat for the ears to hear.
Nothing special here, but hearable.
- Portugal: N/A.
I can't really rate this song. It's quite a grower, yet depends on your mood that day.
It's not the kind of song I'd like to hear in the final, but if it already made into the final,
Guess I'll just have to say good luck Portugal!
- Ukraine: 0/10.
No comment about either this song, the so called "singer", nor the decision to qualify this "song" to the final.
- Bulgaria: 2/10.
It's strange, really - ratings are going lower and lower as this night proceeds.
This act is yet another try to make Eurovision song contest a dance club.
I have no clue why there are so many attempts to make it as such, but it's just ignorant to change the style of the contest SO MUCH in such a little time.
- Slovenia: 8/10.
Yes! finally a good, solid, beautiful ballad in this whole darn contest!
The only thing bad I have to say about this act, was that the girl singing the "oh" part was a little off tuned - that's pretty much all.
I wouldn't mind if this act will eventually win the contest - I really wouldn't.
Problem with this song is - it's really underrated.
Here's for a clean, good, honest battle for the first place between Serbia, Slovenia and Iceland, lads!
- Croatia: 7/10.
Unique, genial, fantastic - this is my comment.
A shame this didn't get through to the final, and a song like Ukraine's did.
This is just a proof that Europe is being heavily drifted by the mainstream you call "european pop" with worthless singers and dancers.
Shame on you, Europe, you may just lost this year's top 5.
- Sweden: 6/10.
I'll make it perfectly clear for you guys:
The fact it's a song expected for win, doesn't mean you have to vote for it.
Okay, it's quite charming, catchy, mysterious etc.
It's not really my cup of tea by style, but I liked her theatrical acting.
- Georgia: 5/10.
The song that started out quite good turned into a mediocore, mainstream, nothing-special-ish song.
It's a plain okay song.
- Turkey: 1/10.
I barely saved any score for this act.
Fact is - I don't care about politics or anything like that - but this act was absolutely garbage.
It's so bad, it makes me laugh at Trukey so hard when comparing this "song" to last year's.
Don't lose your touch, Turkey - and that's clearly NOT your touch.
- Estonia: 9/10.
One beautiful act for my favorites this year.
Only one word to say about this: "winner" - not more not less.
KUULA! :)
- Slovakia: 6/10.
I was really hoping Max would make a better appearance live.
I'm really shattered he got so off tuned and short-beathed.
A shame, Max.
Stay metal!
- Norway: 0/10.
Can I please rehear Estonia's act again? :)
- Bosnia & Herzegovina: 6/10.
Hey, look - a girl and a piano.
Okay, now for the real comment - this is a good act.
That's pretty much all.
- Lithuania: 7/10.
Ready, lads? this is the last of my ratings.
So yeah, I know this guy has some accent issues.
But still, the song is pretty good, it's quite catchy and fun to the ear.
It makes me wonder if Lithuanian people always fall in love with shiny eye patch.
Good act, semi final worth.
- Serbia: 8/10.
