Serbia: Exactly what I expected from Zeljko, it's all in his way. The performance of today was perfect. Nothing to say, top 10 for sure. FYR Macedonia: Perfect voice. She performs really well, one of the best today with Serbia and Portugal. I liked all from her rehearsal today. Hope to see her in the final. She really deserves it. Netherlands: I think it was good. But I expected more from the background, I think that with that song they can play more with the background. I hope she change the clothes for the next rehearsal! These plumes scare a bit  I must say actually I like this song so much but maybe I'm a bit disappointed today seeing that there aren't changes since the NS  Anyway I hope for this song in the final too. I'm sure she wil get it! Malta: Weak voice. But I like the song very much and the mini-dancing when the "Eh Eh Eh" is the best ! Anyway, the best from today's performance was the background so far! One of my favs till now, it's perfect for that song  Belarus: Ok performance. I think that they have changed the version again...I prefer the other...I don't like the idea of the microphones because they remind me the belarusian crap of the last year  Portugal: AWESOME! One of my favs today! I loved all of that performance. The background is amazing, she sings very well, the back vocals were very good, even I loved her dress today  They must be in the final yes or yes! Ukraine: All very weird...But I really like the scenography! At least they are always very original, this will give them points. Gaitana has a strong voice but overall I don't like it very much Not final this year for me, but after this first rehearsal I think they probably will be in the final. Bulgaria: Wow, she sings perfect in live! But why is she alone in the stage?  Well...I like the background here, I don't know why And I loved her dress!!Anyway, I don't like very much the song...I think Bulgaria won't qualify for the final. |

Slovenia: First of all, such a beautiful dress she got comparing to a not very interesting background. Not the silverish silk and blue lights to make the dress look unnatural for the eyeview. When coming to a Slovenian beauty, keep the good cold nature (mountain peeks, shadows, dark wood like Belgium got) in place for making it work for the dress to shine in the visual. Very important for my taste She sings as always really great to this ballad, which also got the slow movement together with the backing singers  . Croatia: This song doesn't need to have many people on stage. Keep the backing singers behind the attention of eye-view and then dancers may get better room for the drama along with the background. Nina Badric might get the Barbara Dex Award for this ugly dress. Sweden: Same concept like Melodifestivalen. For my wishes, Loreen needs more background outside the very impressive bridge breakdown w/ blinking shapes. From the camera-view there need to be parts of looking for a fantasized background of Loreen being on the edge of the world standing on the platform, while there's improvement of a dark waterline (idea cuz' of the ferry horn sound from the beginning). Then the dancer can be served for the meaning of the song, but for my excuse not to have. Georgia: Intro may be improved, but Anri got a big talent to serve the people a great rehearsed performance! Nice background, nice man voice and very nice work of the dancers/backing singers! Turkey: AWESOME BACKGROUND!!  Maybe some improvements for the dancers. But Can can do his job to not bore the people of making funny moves and shine out the big charisma he got. Estonia: I might think the light for the song may appear best after the first chorus. The many strong limelights may not touch my feelings, but at the end it finds its strong emotional part somehow and makes this performance look well done. Ott got one of the very flawless presences when coming to the singing. Always sharp to make the rhythm go deeper and deeper. Slovakia: The background may seem fine enough for this rock material, then Maxs voice were lacking many times onstage which felt very disappointing despite this is a country with only low chances to qualify to final. Eitherway, I feel Max was good looking into the rock genre with his cool sunglasses to kinda help him out the failures. Norway: Wow. Big surprise on the improvement of the performance in total! This fiery background with metal shapes makes the sense of dealing massive movement on the dancefloor. Like what Tooji & co. does on stage to stand tall on dealing good amount of votes. Always the very sophistical way of bringing rhythm into huge action! Good job!  Bosnia-Herzegovina: Seen from the perspective that the lyrics shall move our feelings rather than herself going around and do actions. Her focus is on that piano while a beautiful background and bright purple lights is to shine out the rest of the Balkan beauty incoming from her great singing voice. Overall, very nice performance! Lithuania: Coming in with this bandana covered on his eyes to reflect the song title. And that silhuette background doesn't make it worth for the good Donny does with his voice. Smooth singing while the playback is on

Sweden - Unbearable, simply unbearable
Turkey - His voice seems to go very low pitch and some times, but other than that, very good!
Slovakia - Amazing!
Slovenia - Same bland performance as before
Norway - Very generic, but great song!
Bosnia & Herzegovina - Very boring, needs more

Slovenia: It was a good performance. The back vocals are very powerfull. Eva does very well, but I didn't like her dress! I think she should wear something like in the NS. Croatia: I liked the coreography. But the song still boring Nothing can save it Not final for Croatia then. Sweden: First of all, I think the voice was perfect. The background and the ilumination are great. And the idea of the platform is very good for her performance. I think that if they know getting the best out of the cameras it can be amazing. It's original, powerfull and people like it so she has all the chances to win... Georgia: Ha had a strong voice... Also the backing vocals did very well their job. Maybe Georgia can do more show with that song, but for me it was ok, and I really like this definitive version! but I think they won't get the final Turkey: OH YEAH! For me it's perfect. The coreography is great, the background is amazing, and Can movements...so bonomian  just perfect, I adore him and I'm very happy with his performance today. Turkey FTW! ;D Estonia: I wanted for a piano in the stage He's very static. Anyway, it was a good performance. Slovakia: Bad. The voice was quite weak and this song is very energic, but he hasn't transmitted that energy. I don't like that song, maybe now it might be my the worst Norway: I'm very happy with the performance of my fav song!  Tooji has improved the voice and the coreography is the same that in the MGP but why to change it if it was perfect? I like the the red colours of the background which create a great atmosphere for that song. Norway still my number 1 Bosnia&Herzegovina: Nice background! Overall, it was a good performance, very sophisticated and correct. Maya's voice was good too, but the song is quite boring Lithuania: Wow, I liked it a lot! I like the idea of the blindfold, this make the difference in that song. But when the dancing part start he doesn't move a lot... I love also the background, very original. btw, I love his eyes |

Montenegro: I don't like the song, I can't help. Today we have seen more about the scenography...weird but original, not bad. Iceland: I expected a blue dress for Greta, but it seems that finally it'll black...Not a lot of changes since the first rehearsal, I think the same: in top 10. Greece: Eleftheria has improved a lot her voice and her coreography! I'm happy for that^^ Latvia: Very similar to the 1st rehearsal. The voice is perfect but they have to move more on the stage! This song is great, but now I think it won't get the final. Albania: I like the atmosphere created for that song and ofc she has an amazing voice, but it's so boooring! I don't like it. Romania: Yes! Well done Mandinga! I think they improved a lot since the first rehearsal! And about the clothes...I don't know why I like that bee-dress . Switzerland: They surprised me at the first rehearsal, so now I'm not surprised cuz is the same. I like it Belgium: Simply and sweet. The song isn't very good and it's forgettable, so it will be difficult for Belgium to get the final...Even with that nice background Finland: Why they have changed the color of the background?! Personally I prefer blue than red...Blue fits better with this song. Israel: The background is definitely one of the best with that huge clock The performance still good and I still don't like this song San Marino: I love that girl ^^ she give her best in every performance! Great coreography and great voice and I also liked her clothes a lot San Marino deserves final this year. Cyprus: Definitely the best coreography. Maybe her voice isn't very good...Anyway, it looks amazing. Final yes or yes. Denmark: Wow, they have changed a lot of things! First I think they've changed the background: Very nice. I don't know why, I think the sunflowers fit this song And the clothes are really good too. Good job |

Montenegro: Wee! It was definetely worth to see him again and by now with his stage outfit! Still the Trojan Donkey suits all this fun it got, while Rambo raps it out and dancers to come and shine! Even though Rambo probably not will qualify he sure got my vote for originality both on song and performance! ;D Iceland: They did make the red color go more saturated for its meaning to come up at the end of the performance. And still of course keeping the dark icelandic nature and the violin camera-view in place to score the viewers despite they're no. 2 on the draw. Greece: More beautiful background than ever before on 1st rehearsal. Nothing to compare with I like this Musselshell combined with her dancers moving around. Still the dance is characteristic itself together with the happiness Elefteria brings with her smile and cute voice Better now to catch the televotes. Latvia: Now it's better. Better choreography with the dancers and with Anmary herself into singing better into charisma with were lacking last time. Albania: Still standing static and strong alone on stage. None but some red light and late bright background effect can easily do my mood for good. Romania: Elena Ionescu now got her final dress to shine out her Summer song with rest of Mandinga! Switzerland: No need for change this time Sinplus got it already with their nice Neon light usage and great raw man voice to this pop/rock material. Finland: Go back to the cold colors (Blue ). The song material doesn't work for a background with warm colors like red and also kinda burns my eyes a bit for also reflecting it from the dress. Eww. Belgium: Still keeping this too dark of a background, which upsets me despite listening to a lovesong. Even though its lyrics may reflect the background just in some cases. Iris always got her cute appeal along with the white dress! Israel: The beginning may look as the biggest difference from here. Still a performance with good charisma over people who are into oldschool music San Marino: Now the new clothes are incoming, it's now getting better for that. Like all they are wearing. LOL'ed at the captain guy ;D Cyprus: Still keeping a beautiful background into a song that doesn't fit into it very much. But from this lightshow there is too, it should give its beauty anyhow All of this performance they physically make can feel very childish ;D Denmark: Oh she actually made the chorus anew, as I though she messed up with "Like Sahara miss the rain". Now "Like Sahara misses rain" . Incredible background usage I may say and very nice new clothes she got

Russia: Nothing to change indeed They are second-to-none for all kinds of drama there is onstage. That's one of the bigger joker songs Eurovision ever got in history by my opinion . Hungary: I, for now, adore those black clothes they all got to outshadow its well-made background. Also this masculinity from his big voice wishes me to change the background into some space materialistic. Austria: Finally they got the known bridge where all gets dark and the only thing reflecting are the booties and Lukas & Manuel themselves That's actually the best thing changed from 1st rehearsal of all of them. Also the background became greener than before IIRC. +1 for just that. (Green is my favorite color  Moldova: Can't tell how stupid the dance is (now pointing only for the hand shake dance part that comes after chorus). Anyway, his singing gets better and the choreography were improved much better Ireland: Oh the dress looks just weird in general way, but for my taste it affects my interest of geography ;D. And that the fountain were much taller at the 2nd chorus part and after the bridge too, it looked very very nice! Just loving all kinds of water effects on every kinds of stage performance Serbia: Zejlko in black just looks realy nice. He looks better in black than white (ESC 2004). And when the background shows it beautiful character on the half-way it looks really fitting for the song creativity itself Trusting a 'Zejlko-materialistic' performance never fails on me FYR Macedonia: Perhaps the best rock diva in a long time in ESC history! Showing a flawless raw voice into a strong crafted rock song + she can the high-note presence only her can ever do (Uniqueness ). Again I hope for her very best in this hard semi-final. The Netherlands: Damn, those flames on the background just burns the heck outta, luckily it shifts partly into other effects which goes OK for the song. Hmm, this extra violin play there goes on sounds good enough to trustfully stand tall over this sweet song. And this lightblue dress kinda look cheap but makes it pretty together with the indian headgear. Malta: Not the big change, as it gives it fully charisma enough to break it through the audition pleasing. Kurt sings it very well despite his greater talent into score his smile for the people Belarus: Not the most impressive background, but they got everything else to shoot out. Microphone holders, chain mails, great man voices and that gravity effect on some of them at some part. Portugal: Along with the background, the new dress looks very fitting to the Portuguese culture too. Hmm, the backing singers may have the need for looking better onstage. But overall, I'm very impressed by only for the rate of performance. Song is still not catching my taste Ukraine: *It's so hard to rate a performance like this, cuz it's all overwhelming to me * Eitherway, she showed her strong vocal onto the stage which will give her the advice for better voting. I, myself, am impressed for what she actually make up my mind to let me like this as an OK song rather than a disturbing song (Will certainly go for a change of my top 42 after May 26th Bulgaria: Hard to believe she makes this act without dancers. I mean, she could start out some more action instead of her dealing the multilingual love message. Maybe some better background usage could make the act feel more passionating instead of all this cornish purple/light show she has now

Russia: finally I understand that this thing in the stage is a oven and they're cooking cookies... Anyway, it's funny, it's joker, it's different...So I like it a bit, but for me they don't deserve final Hungary: Every time I like it less, they let me completly indifferent right now. Their performance isn't very good... Austria: Wow, finally they'll play with the lights in the outfit But now I don't know if I prefer with or without the lights Not final anyway for me. Moldova: My dear Moldova has changed the coreography! I think it's quite better. Btw, the shaking hands moment is my favorite The cameras will have an important role in this performance. They keep my vote in the 1st semifinal so far ;D Ireland: I love the taller fountain! And about the outfit I think is nice, but it's difficult watch them without the shoulder pads Serbia: No changes I saw Really, they don't need to If it was the final outfit, it'd ok for me. It fits to the song and to Zeljko FYR Macedonia: What a voice... She's sung more than perfect in today. But I expect for a black trousers for the final, not these jeans please... The Netherlands: That blue dress is beautiful and makes her outfit more sweet, anyway the plumes still scare the people. Please Joan don't wear the plumes in the semi  I really love her song but the performance disappoint me a bit. You can do more with that charming song Malta: I like song but the scenography disappoint me a bit too. Though I think if Kurt gives his best, it'll able to be a nice performance. But not final Belarus: I don't like their live. The same that with Hungary: Every time I love it less Portugal: Filipa was awesome today again. The voice was perfect too. I prefer 1st rehearsal's dress Ukraine: I liked it pretty much today. Amazing voice and original coreography as I said the last time... the cameras will have an important role here too. So, it might be a good show. But the song is weak. Bulgaria: I still think that she needs dancers. C'mon this is a dance song! Btw, I prefer 1st rehearsal dress. |

Slovenia: Eva got her strong scenography together with the incredibly good backing singers, but still keeping this unimpressive golden background. But seeing from the big perspective I won't feel disappointed. Croatia: The act didn't changed as I wanted to see, but nevertheless Nina did it great for her singing. Her dress looks still horrifying compared to what the song gives its visual elsewhere. Sweden: Loreen must miracle her voice for someday. Most of the time, the backing singers were the one who took the singing most, even though we talk about rehearsals. Doing her moves while singing perfectly requires a big talent like Loreen needs to get untill the people would know who's really going to win Eurovision. Georgia: Here's the one I felt very unlikely to the case of backing singing from this song. The girls may spare their own singing compared to what Anri really has to show off. Not kidding, but Anri has one of the most crispy voices ever on ESC. Turkey: Yes! This sailor theme going on this song has been shown very very well on this song. Both on what comes to lyrics, but also for the whole performance of a good background and great scenography with those dancers with long coats all of them Amazing! United Kingdom: Background could be more dramatic, just here where the song goes into a deep phase. The dancers onstage felt uncomfortable, just let it be Engelbert himself and the guitar player. And Engelbert has shown his good old man-voice out, but still lacked a bit at the end. Thinking he saves it till he gets it good tomorrow on 2nd rehearsal. New clothes would be shown too France: Having this crazy crafted dance song into some materialistic with men doing some arm swing dance makes it look new and nice enough for my notebook! This soft flying coat kinda looks nice but doesn't fit very good to this song, although it looks cool as a form of angel wings on Anggun ;D She only did it OK for the singing. Italy: A bit disgraceful backing singers that nearly took the voice out from the awesome Nina Zilli herself. She did it fantastic over this very nice background with some black/white theme like going all the way back to the 1940's. Her dress looked a bit way too pretty as this should feel more femme fatale than ever ^^ Azerbaijan: Such a beautiful dress Sabina got here. And that limelight over her that shines her dress into different colors looks really nice and creative. Very traditinal-sounding from the backing singers too. And then the singing from Sabina was very very nice too. Still I find her vocal very into Maja Keuc, but that's just me. Spain: WOW! I really liked the waterdrop background that really touched the divine voice from Pastora herself. Also the red-ish part of the background afterwards looked good on paper . Maybe the charisma and the dress seemed a bit off, but she will forever be on top to do an outstanding presence of her voice. Again I tell ya! ;D. Germany: There isn't the need of a creativity on an easy listening song like this one. Going all minimalistic like there's this very typical orchestra and Roman Lob himself on the micro The lightshow is the only good thing to do some extraordinary showoff, and it goes well of what we've seen now

Slovenia:Great voice from Eva and the back vocals again. Those sophisticated movements reminds me Slovenian's entry last year. Also the dress, like last year, draws attention...Anyway fantastic song, maybe in the top 15 Croatia: The voice was great too. The dress is...weird? I don't know, the song is forgettable, people won't pay attention in it. Not final, so. Sweden: This is awesome, but in some moments she doesn't sing while she's dancing Even a whole sentence! Fortunately the lyrics are short...Probably she will win, but now I don't have it so much clear... Georgia: Every time I like this quite more...Anri has a really good voice and the performance in overall is good too. Btw, I loved his outfit today! Turkey: Love this so much! The first rehearsal was perfect but today it was better ;D I hope for this clothes for the semifinal. The human-ship part is better with this clothes. Anyway Can is always sexy Germany: Charming atmosphere created in this song. The background reminded me Azerbaijan2011 background x/ I predict top 15 for this song. France: I liked it in overall. I hope she can improve her voice for the second rehearsal. But I really like her movement on the stage and also the outfit! These long "wings-cape"are nice! Italy: Nina's voice was perfect. But I expected something more in the stage Some people don't like the background but for me is ok. I still predicting a top 3 for Italy this year. Azerbaijan: Wow...For me the best voice is Sabina's voice. I like today performance very much: Besides of her voice, I really love the dress. I think in some parts of the song the back vocals aren't necessary. Sabina's voice "fill" the stage alone. Hope for a top 10 this year again Spain: Ver happy with our rehearsal^^ Stunning voice, perfect. It's very emotional...She will make cry more than one person I think I liked her dress too. Well done Pastora! UK: The scenography is great. I like the guitarrist and also the dancers...But Engelbert has to improve his voice and he has to wear as outfit something like in the official video of the song, if he doesn't want to let UK in the bottom. For me it's top 10 |

I must say actually I like this song so much but maybe I'm a bit disappointed today seeing that there aren't changes since the NS 
Anyway I hope for this song in the final too. I'm sure she wil get it!
.
Maybe some improvements for the dancers. But Can can do his job to not bore the people of making funny moves and shine out the big charisma he got.
