I cannot vote from Ireland and @miffy probably doesn’t need to go as our representative is from Norn Iron.

So you don't want my votes ?

 

[tony]

Denmark and Albania, too.

The Netherlands and especially Switzerland did nothing for me. And yeah, Austria out.

 

[allezfred]

The Netherlands

It is a stunning song for the fact that it makes Dutch sound attractive.

 

[miffy]

Sad for Austria, Bulgaria & Latvia, oh and Albania and Denmark too, but I knew there would be a few I like that didn’t make it and I was getting sooooo scared for Moldova near the end I would have sacrificed anyone (except Ukraine).

Moldova could not miss the final. 100% sure

 

[airgelaal]

Ukraine is still the only country that always gets to the final

 

[allezfred]

Moldova was a lot more fun than the Eurovision bloggers had made it out to be.

I would have preferred Albania over Lithuania, otherwise what I had hoped for.
I was a bit annoyed by Laura Pausini.

I'm late, but Fai Rumore is a gorgeous song, and IMO the best Italy has sent in recent years.

It was also a wonderful idea to perform/stage it like this - especially viewed together with the empty Arena di Verona performance from two years ago.

Since Italy returned to the contest in 2011, they have shown that the formula for consistently doing well is just to send your best songs.

 

[marbri]

I have watched Fai Rumore at least 10 times since it aired....

 

[marbri]

also... I didn't rate Lithuania much live but after seeing her in the press conference after I am really glad she made it through
