OMG OMG OMG, im so excited, tonight we will know the winner of the Eurovision song contest 2011, this year i guess it will be very interesting and i cant wait for the results, now im just going to tell my favorites:
IRELAND
FRANCE
AUSTRIA
GERMANY
FINLAND
DENMARK
SWITZERLAND
SERBIA
AZERBAIJAN
ESTONIA
From these 10 countries i would be very happy if one of my top 8 win tonight, you all know already the reasons of why i like them. I have no idea but i think France, UK or Sweden will win but all we can do is wait a couple of hours.
I wish the best of luck to all the participants and may the best win.
I was very nervous before the semifinal cause there were some of my favorites but there's nothing more to say, Anke was great and lets start with the songs:
01.Bosnia & Herzegovina: Dino Merlin - Love in rewind
This song its good, and he is a great artist, i think i wanted more, to me his vocals were not the best and maybe he looked a bit nervous, its not a winner for me, top 10 maybe.
02.Austria: Nadine Beiler - The secret is love
The best female singer of this year without a doutb, she looked gorgeous and she did an amazing performance, i loved it, a huge round of applause and standing ovation for Nadine! BRAVO NADINE!! BRAVO AUSTRIA! She got a great spot in the final and i hope to see her in the top 10, GO AUSTRIA!
03.The Netherlands: 3JS - Never alone
Good song with a nice vocal performance but a very poor stage presence. It was boring.
04.Belgium: Witloof Bay - With love baby
They did a nice performance but the song wasnt good.
05.Slovakia: TWIINS - I'm still alive
They definitely looked amazing, but as i said they should participate in Miss Slovakia or try other year with a better song, the performance was ok.
06.Ukraine: Mika Newton - Angel
Welcome to the Eurovision SAND contest 2011. They should put the name of the sand artist instead of Mika, yesterday at the press conference there were no questions for Mika but the Sand artist. Mika can be Miss Eurovision 2011, her vocals were good and everything looked great.
07.Moldova: Zdob si zdub - So lucky
I dont like the song, but the performance was very good, he has a strong stage presence and i think this will be in top 10 of the final.
08.Sweden: Eric Saade - Popular
I dont know what can i say about this, i wonder why it got into the final. To me was not good, his vocals are bad and i dont know, i dont like this and i know it can get a good position, sadly. Its a Kempe song can this finish in the top 10? i hope no. I like Saade cause he works very hard for the things he wants but this is not good.
09.Cyprus: Christos Mylordos - San aggelos s'agapisa
He was the biggest surprise in the rehearsals but yesterday was meh, i think his stage presence is not good and maybe the camera work ruined the performance, it was nice but i wanted a great performance. It was obvious that it wasnt going to qualify.
10.Bulgaria: Poli Genova - Na inat
All i can say is Bravo Poli! good job. Its so sad that this song with that great performance didnt get in the final, she had a fantastic energy and she should be very proud of her performance. I will miss Bulgaria on the final, she deserved to be there.
11.F.Y.R of Macedonia: Vladko Ilievski - Rusinka
I dont like his voice but i kinda liked the song, the vocals of the backing vocals were very bad but we knew this one was out of the final since a long time ago.
12.Israel: Dana International - Ding dong
The DIVA came to the stage and i love it, her vocals were much better that we all expected and im very proud of her, she is DANA INTERNATIONAL the winner of 98 no matter what, i wanted her on the final so much, but all we can do is love her and sing Ding dong and Diva. Viva la Diva! Viva Dana International!.
13.Slovenia: Maja Keuc - No one
I really like the song but i dont like the performance and also i dont like the way she is or she show her self as a person, but it was an ok performance to me, i dont like the choreography, and i dont think this can be in the top 10.
14.Romania: Hotel FM - Change
Good song with an nice stage performance, David knows how to work with the cameras and his stage presence is strong. This was one of the best performances yesterday.
15.Estonia: Getter Jaani - Rockefeller street
I was waiting for a disaster but i get a great performance i think, she looked cute, i liked all her face expressions, her vocals were not perfect but they were good enough. I loved the camera work for this song and i think it can finnish in a nice position tomorrow.
16.Belarus: Anastasiya Vinnikova - I love Belarus
I like the song but unfortunately she cant sing, i like the energy of the song but it sounded very bad.
17.Latvia: Musiqq - Angel in disguise
I cant believe this didnt qualify, it was nice song with a very good performance, the guys did their job very well and they should be happy and proud cause their performance was good.
18.Denmark: A Friend in London - New tomorrow
I love them and they are HOT, good song, great performance i dont know if the ball worked like in the DMGP but it was a very good performance. I wish them all the best for tomorrow and i think they deserve to be in the top 10, so good luck to Denmark!.
19.Ireland: Jedward - Lipstick
Here they come, here they come and i was so excited and nervous, i was hoping for a great performance and they did it!. They dont need to break glasses or to have LED screens, all they need is to be JEDWARD their energy is enough to fill the stage. Their outfit was great, the background is wonderful, the song is the best and they gave us their best so we all should give a big round of applause for John and Edward and all the team behind them cause they are working very hard and i really wish them the best for tomorrow, i want them on the top 5, GO IRELAND; GO LIPSTICK! GO JEDWARD!!.
I have to say that i really hated the moment of the results because it was so fast and messy, i wanted to feel more tension and i wanted to listen Anke singing the finalists like in the rehearsals:

Woohoo! the first semifinal of the Eurovision song contest 2011 was yesterday and now its time to talk about it: This year i followed the semifinal on Eurovision.tv and it was perfect. I thought i was going to hate the hosts but im just going to say I LOVED ANKE!!! she was one of the best things of the night! i also loved her in the dress rehearsals singing the songs that gets into the final. The stage looked amazing, the heartbeat is lovely and the greenroom is fabulous, well done Germany. Let my review begin!:
01.Poland: Magdalena Tul - Jestem
I was very very excited and it started, Magdalena looked beautiful, to me the choreography was pretty bad, her stage presence was boring and her vocals in the last part were bad, too much scream, im sorry but i didnt like it.
02.Norway: Stella Mwangi - Haba haba
Stella has a beautiful energy with her and when the song started and i watched the audience there going crazy with it, i honestly started to dance here, i know her vocals were not good but i didnt care cause its was a good performance, the camera loves her and the public too, i will miss haba haba in the final.
03.Albania: Aurela Gace - Feel the passion
She is an AMAZING artists and person, i loved her in all the interviews i watched and she has so much passion, i always said that the song was a bit difficult to get and i started to like it more after a lot of time listening, to me the problem was that the song was not good enough but also her look, she looked scary and that didnt help, the last note wasnt perfect and when the performance finished i knew she wasnt going to qualify. Its kinda sad, but its wasnt a good performance.
04.Armenia: Emmy - Boom boom
Well , the comments before the semifinal were that she sang horrible in the Juries rehearsal so i was expecting the worse for this but i also thought that it was a finalist because its Armenia, what can i say about this? i never liked Emmy, the song was one of the worse of this year but as you might know, when i watched the rehearsal i liked the performance, well yesterday the whole show, her vocals, her dance moves were bad. I think she wasnt there, it was so so bad, im very happy that this shhh didnt get into the final.
05.Turkey: Yüksek Sadakat - Live it up
I never liked it and yesterday the performance was boring, their clothes were the most horrible thing i've seen this year, and thats all, TRT made a big mistake with this old fashioned band and i think this was a huge lesson for them, we all know how patriotic are the Turkish fans and i know this is a drama for them and that all the songs that are in the final are horrible and this is the worse eurovision ever for them but who cares, im happy that this didnt took a place that a good song and performance deserved.
06.Serbia: Nina - Caroban
Ninaaaa, i loved it, great performance, fantastic song and i was sooo happy when Anke said Serbia was the 1st finalist! BRAVO NINA!!
07.Russia: Alexej Vorobjov - Get you
As i always said this is love or hate thing, with the rehearsals i totally loved it but yesterday it wasnt that good, i totally hated the " do you feel my heart beat europe" and all those screams he shout, his vocal performance was poor and very shaky at the begining , he also looked very nervous and cocky, I dont think this can win, sorry Alex.
08.Switzerland: Anna Rossinelli - In love for a while
Yaaaaay, i was worried about their chances, but this performance was lovely and magical, you guys cant imagine how happy i was when the called Switzerland as one of the finalists. She really deserve it and her happiness in that moment made my day. Thanks to everybody who voted for her and all i can say is BRAVO ANNA!, BRAVO SWITZERLAND!
09.Georgia: Eldrine - One more day
You all know i dont like this song but yesterday its wasnt bad, great vocals, good stage presence and a great energy, they did a good job on the stage, and they are a great finalists.
10.Finland: Paradise Oskar - Da da dam
AMAZING! there is no other word to describe it, he is so cute and the performance was great, a round of applause for Axel and Finland!
11.Malta: Glen Vella - One life
He gave us his heart on that performance, i really loved it and i want to see him back in Eurovision with a better song cause he is a great artist, good job Glen!
12.San Marino: Senit - Stand by
I love her, she was one of the nicest artist this year but i think she was out of tune in the song, i wish her all the best and as she said i want San Marino to still trying.
13.Croatia: Daria - Celebrate
To me the performance was nice but it wasnt enough to get in the final, the stage performance and the were were maybe too 2001 and not 2011, but i liked it.
14.Iceland: Sjonni's friends - Coming home
For the 3rd year in a row Iceland was called last. This year was harder cause there were Turkey, Armenia and some other countries, but as i said this song was the right one to be on the final. They got an amazing spot on the final and i wish them all the best on saturday.
15.Hungary: Kati Wolf - What about my dreams?
Great song with an ok performance to me her vocals were a bit off in some parts but overall were good, i dont like her hairdo, the dress and that huge ring, but im very happy for Hungary cause they are working hard, and they deserve their spot in the final.
16.Portugal: Homens Da Luta - A luta e alegria
Well, this wasnt as bad as i imagine, they are fun and i didnt hate it, but thats all i can say, and other thing i can say its that i loved their press conference.
17.Lithuania: Evelina Sasenko - C'est ma vie
I dont like this song, too boring for me but i liked the performance, she has a strong stage presence, she looked beautiful and her vocals were great as always, I think the juries saved her and she should be happy and she has to enjoy the final.
18.Azerbaijan: Eldar & Nigar - Running scared
I love it, this looked fantastic on tv, their vocal were not perfect but i think Nigar can do it better and i hope she can do it on the final, the performance for me was great and i think they can finish in the top 5. I loved the "Golden shower" pyro at the last part of the song, it was like WOW SO BEAUTIFUL, i also have to say that Eldar is really cute, and i really thing they will do very well on the final.
19.Greece: Loukas Yiorkas feat. Stereo Mike
I dont have anything against Stereo Mike but the rap ruins this song. Loukas was great, his vocals were so powerful and i think thats why they get into the final.
The moment of the resulst was fabulous and i loved Anke, like for real, she is the best host ever.
