Some of my favourites got through, and a couple I didn't like got through too. Oh well. And Ireland did it! Yay for Ryan!! |

I'm going to be in Copenhagen on Saturday, will be interesting to see whether they do anything for it. Denmark's entry appears to an oddly ballady thing about Vikings. |

Eventually found one but they had turned the sound off and let their house band play, which was quite odd. A few days earlier, however, I was in Sweden and by chance was in the small town where the Swedish entry was from and all the locals were very excited.

Right, quiet night in so watching the second of the semis. Twice as much Eurovision as I normally get in a year. Wow! |

Norway: Harry Potter makes odd hand gestures on stage. No point trying a call and response if nobody else knows the response. I'm actually getting quite irritated by this one. |

Romania: This is charmingly middle of the road, in a good way. And one the guitarists looks like a slightly younger Frank Turner. Those mannequins are going to haunt my dreams tonight however. |

Serbia: Quite Karl Jenkinsesque, meaning it'll have an afterlife on Classic FM someday, mark my words. I could chill to this after a session. I want to wire the flautist up to a Van de Graaf generator, just because. |

San Marino: Robots! Could be a good defiance against the world power ballad, were it any heavier, but doesn't quite pull it off. Yet boppy and fun in its own little way. And then they go and spoil it all with the rap bit from 'Wannabe'. |

Denmark: Jesus had an awkward goth phase too. This should be far louder than the levels they've set this at. I want anger, passion, fear, fireworks. Instead it's bear night at the cheese club. |

The Netherlands: Love me some country. I'm picturing driving through the deserts of Utah with this on the speakers and the wind in my hair. The dancers are listening to something utterly different, however. |

Malta: The back projections were suitably moody, and the tune has just the right amount of Europppy beat to it. Fireworks and a dancer materialising for the bridge complete a decent Eurovision set. |

Sweden: The simplistic staging is wonderfully retro-futuristic. Simple but effective, and adds to the disco feel of this track. Find his voice to be annoyingly too high, or did they just hit the wrong switch on the ol' Autotune? |

Well, that wasn't as consistently enjoyable as Tuesday's. But the ones I'd put through are (in no particular order): Slovenia; Hungary; Malta; the Netherlands; and, of course Moldova. Honourable mentions to Romania, Serbia, and San Marino. |

Denmark was Enya meets Bathory. Loved it. It's my favourite. Sad that the Latvian sexy lady with a probably made up italian name didn't go through. |

Cyprus - Not so keen on the PVC dominatrix look, and the backing dancers are like a shit Jacko tribute band but the song itself is pretty decent. Could be quite the Euro-disco summer beat (as I would know, based on the number of times I've been to Ibiza). |

Poland: costumes designed by someone given the brief to create something for a mystical-but-matriarchal planet in a 1970s 'Doctor Who'. Probably. Disappointing lack of audience participation at key points. |

Slovenia: Bugger me, they're young. I feel awkward. I'm getting quite misty-eyed, despite speaking not a word of Slovenian. This might do well. PS: ankle length white trousers and large white trainers are not a good look. This is an official Kern Fashion Advisory. |
