I am not sure if I made the right decision but before casting my final votes I wanted to have a look at the videos. I am already sure I am going to regret that deeply in the next 20 minutes or so.
The Finnish entry could have been decent under some other circumstances but after two minutes in the next video I barely remember it actually. But it does sound to some extent, if you know what I mean.
Tell me, is that man with the hairy chest going to run in circles on the stage in Stockholm? The Greek one? If so, that would probably be the only decent thing about the song. Why on earth is the camera so fixed on his swaying erm breasts? I presume it takes the same view on the issue as myself.
Moldovan lady looks a tiny bit like Emily Blunt. Have seen the Huntsman today and just couldn't help noticing this slight resemblance. Other than that - let the mortal kombat erm the shouting begin. I suddenly grasped the idea of this Eurovision - it's like a CD of dance songs and disco ballads for the party in your backyard. Good, if you are in your 20s. Unfortunately, I am almost 40.
Freddie from Hungary - I recall one of my students is fond of unshaven men with a gravelly voice. I am considering sharing the video with her. Somehow I cannot discern a single word in his song but I like his manly looks. Will do, I believe
Oh gosh, what's up with the Croatian lady? Gravity has run amok and Sandra Bullock has spent a century or so in the open space alone? Complete mismatch of looks and voice in my opinion. Kinda like her singing but video spoils the impression a bit.
The Netherlands remind me of something. I believe they remind me about every Eurovision contest so far - there's always been some generic ballad on generic issues even if it's sung with voice and passion.
Ooooooooh oooooooh is a perfect cliche of the exUSSR pop music. Want ambience, feel, passion - sing ooooooh. Sometimes it does help. This time it will be the only thing I remember about Armenian song.
Wow, what a trip down Memory Lane from San Marino. I found myself picturing younger me, about 7 years or so, sitting in front of the black and white telly with my parents watching some "exotic" (at those times) contest of capitalist music. Kudos for that. But I really wonder if he is going to make it into the Finals.
Muscled Lazarev, topless in bed.
I hear he fainted not so long ago at one of the concerts. I remember I saw him at the opening of one of the malls in my city. No improvement since then. The song is catchy though and this is in tune with Eurovision crowds, nothing else is needed.

I mean for example, San Marino, what the hell?? Creepy!
