Now that the semis are over we have lost 11 acts of varying quality from the Eurovision song contest. This is the wash up of the semis
Semi 1
Malta are really unlucky. they nailed it and had a great performance. The only real flaw was some of the camera work was out, and this impacted a number of acts in the evening and was not Malta's fault and it is a shame to see them gone.
Latvia is another one that could have gone through even though the lead singer of Sudden Lights is trying to be a young version of 80s Bowie.
Ireland just looks painful and if I had to see everything, so does everyone else:
Azerbaijan were like Jedward without the happy drugs and with less talent. The song was cute but drugs were needed.
Netherlands this song was co-written by a former Eurovision winner and it was a loser. So many reasons.
Semi 2
Denmark was not a good entry to open the show with. interestingly the staging had some similarities to Malta vocals were not as good though
Romania were interesting because they changed the opening to acoustic which didn't work as well as the national final version in Romania and this probably cost it making the final
Iceland deserved to get through for the one hand handstand and no other reason.
Greece... the youngest entry Greece has sent to Eurovision and even 12 points from Cyprus could not get this through
Georgia. the song either needed to be sung in a lower pitch or Iru should have been a backing singer. Either the song or the singer was wrong.
San Marino even though they didn't nail this, it probably was good enough to get through had it not been in a semi that was so rock heavy and if they sounded less like the Scissor Sisters.
