I'm late to this post, sorry. Too late for predictions, but they aren't my strong suit anyway.
Iceland - has Jedward vibes. Don't mind them.
Poland - typical Eurovision 'sexy girl' pop. They are lucky not to fall over in their high heels.
Slovenia - I don't really care for ballads, but he did good.
Estonia - His voice was a little wobbly, but the song isn't build around a strong voice. And I like the strange stuff.
Spain - Another typical Eurovision 'sexy girl' pop piece. At least she added a 'robe change'.
Ukraine - I'm not completely sold on the song. On the other hand - sung very well and they did some nice stage work.
Sweden - kinda catchy and funny.
Portugal - soft pop number. Not my taste but I'd always chose them over the next generic pop song performed by some gyrating pseudo-sexy singer.
Norway - not the music I'd expect from a northern country. Not sold on the song.
Belgium - dance, unfortunately his voice didn't really carry the introduction.
Italy - I guess I know what he is aiming for but so far his performance didn't 'get' me. Maybe he can put more energy into it in the final.
Azerbaijan - Erm. I'm simply not feeling it.
San Marino - Same as Azerbaijan. Not feeling it.
Albania - Guess they want to build something powerful out of the contrast of the two performers. Does not work that well.
Netherlands - Good mood pop. And I like him singing mostly in French.
Croatia - I don't know what he was aiming for but at least he made me laugh.
Switzerland - Another ballad. Quite powerful and a good performance.
Cyprus - Eurodance-Pop. Also kinda generic.
The five countries I would have eliminated are also Belgium, Azerbaijan, and Cyprus. Instead of Slovenia and Croatia I would eliminate Poland (though she might do quite good in the final) and San Marino.
Mostly a hard agree on your takes.
Sweden is only KIND CATCHY!?
Right about Estonia. I haven't heard Tommy Cash really sing so far, his voice isn't great.
Italy is held back by confusing staging I think. His makeup and costume don't fit the song at all?
You're right about Italy. The outfit is some weird glamrock era rip off. The other guy on stage - what is his job? Preventing the singer from being lonely or is he meant to represent some alter ego?
