Australia – He tried to get a big note and failed. He recovered but it was noticeable

Belgium – As much as I could hear, she nailed the vocals almost 100%. There was moment she was having a tiny smile.I think she got some good vibes from the crowd who was very sportive.

Latvia – she is also off key. to some part of the songs. It’s messy and aggressive and definitely not tv friendly

Sweden(i forgot them) – He was not so sharp vocally. Very un- Swedish who usually get the vocals always spot on

The reprise for Belgium is awful. In the reprise clip she is totally out of tune. Very bad choice

Having seen all the songs I would predict Portugal, Armenia and Finland are shoe-ins. I also think Azerbaijan, Greece, Poland, Moldova and Cyprus are likely.
I’d really like the last two qualifiers to be Slovenia (which was the surprise of the night for me) and Iceland but I suspect it will be Australia and creepy as hell Sweden.

So gutted for Finland. It is not your usual jolly song but the lady can sing and render emotion. And what a joke to have Greece in the final instead

Really poor semi-final in my opinion. Devastated for Finland. Seriously WTF?
And sorry I just don’t get the Portugal and Italy hype. I find both songs extremely irritating. No doubt they’ll come first and second in the final.
