Rage Against The Machine in Hungarian. Wonderful. I'm going to pour myself some wine.

Hungary - noisy, angry. Not sure I can say much more. Mmmm...one for the foot fetishists...

Latvia - good chorus in a weak song and some very poor tuning in the final third

Top 5 for Sweden - slick, professional entry.

Justin Bieber representing Sweden.
Hungary made my ears hurt.
Norway is my favourite so far but that might be because of the singer

Mr Montenegro looks scared to death (and a bit like a postman who has been shoved into bad sparkly suit)

Fake section is just embarrassing. Total fail of a song on so many levels. She is a decent singer (I think) but this is just a mess.

Why are Scott and Rylan sounding like Jules and Sandy?!! And those scary Georgian singers?? "Vote for us or we break your legs"

a big lack of upbeat pop and dance this year.
I wish the UK would send a Clean Bandit/Jess Glynn type song next year.

The UK needs to send a performer next year - whatever the merits of the Norway entry, Alexander Rybak knows how to sell it - same as Cyprus on Tuesday.

Everyone saw a ballad win last year - and so tried to find something equivalent meaning we get a ballad heavy year.
Please stop the presenters from dancing... NOW!

And no Rylan comedy sequences either...

Serbia and Slovenia really didn't deserve final places.
Pleased that Russia didn't get through. Surprised that Poland didn't make it - even though the song was not the greatest.

No waving robots in the final. Gutted.
Happy for Sweden, though.
Sadly, I won't be able to watch the final on Saturday - going to see "Absolute Hell" at the NT. Although given the reviews, perhaps I should stay in and see absolute hell on TV...

Doesn’t look like many of the songs I liked got through tonight.
Sweden is horrendous and I hope he falls over on Saturday.
I didn’t like Alexander Rybak’s much either.
Australia was a good song but they got the performance and styling SO wrong.
I mean Scott Mills has somehow hung onto this job for far too long. He really drags it down. I say it every year. I want to know what/who he knows to keep his position.
I generally like Rylan but he was trying too hard tonight.
I really like the stage with its bridges and the lack of screens has helped to give us some more innovative performances.
Not Eurovision’s best year (haven’t heard the remaining six songs, apart from SuRie), but not its worst either.

The second semi final was much more entertaining than the first with classic ESC "what the hell is this?" nonsense. Glad that Moldova and the vampires from Serbia and Ukraine got into the final.
Agree about the oily winking Swede, but Sweden gets on my nerves anyway, they're like the over-ambitious over-zealous star pupil everyone in class loves to hate, always perfect, always polished, always far too eager to win this thing while the rest of Europe is just goofing around.
I threw my vote at the Hungarians. At the end of the day I just prefer proper rock to all that trashy disco pop.
