Eurovision Semi Final 1

Host looks like Charlie Pickering, haha. Assume that each song is terrible unless otherwise stated.

Montenegro - Expected some kind of metal. Hilarious looking rapper, really random banners and shit. Just really baffling overall. I'm loving the backstage interviews of that guy.

Iceland - Generic symphonic metal-ish song. Was hoping it would be the indie Jónsi. Through to the finals.

Greece - Generic, can't sing, etc. Pretty girl though, I guess.

Latvia - These ladies are a bit old, aren't they? And ugh, those lyrics. "One day Sir Mick Jagger rang me," is kind of awesome though.

Albania - Actually kind of interesting. Björk? People will hate it because of the wacky dress though. Why/how is her rope-hair sitting on her chest like that? Yay for her getting to the finals though.

Romania - Kardashian? Kind of forgettable. Qualified for the finals? Why?

Switzerland - U2 meets some generic alt-rock band I can't think of at the moment.

Belgium - Awkward accent.

Finland - Really odd song. It goes to the pre-chorus, and then that just keeps going and there doesn't seem to be an actual chorus.

Israel - If the singer didn't have that accent, this would sound exactly like some of the crappy Britpop that JJJ peddles.

San Marino - I've actually never heard of this country. What the hell is up with those iPads? I think this is the worst one.

Cyprus - Competent generic pop, which I guess is better than half of the others. Made it through, of course.

Denmark - This sounds like Seal - Crazy. The chorus is nearly exactly the same. Final.

Russia - Old ladies! Spinning oven! General awesomeness! Through to the final!

Hungary - Coldplay? Through to the final, people love Coldplay.

Austria - Hilarious band name! Terrible song! Unnecessary pole dancers! Sounds like Art Vs Science - Parlez-vous Francais?

Moldova - Singer looks a bit like the TOK teacher from high school. Cute dresses on the girls.Wow, actually qualified for the final. Go Mr E.

Ireland - Not these guys again. Looks like when both people pick the same character in a fighting game. Ick, they're through. Well, I guess they're kind of amusingly hyper.
