01.Poland
The semifinal number 1 will start with Magdalena Tul, without the male dancers, she has a new choreography with 4 female dancers, 2 of them are also backing vocalists and a male backing vocalist, im not sure if i like the new performance, i dont get the energy, to me she is looking bored in some parts, her vocals were ok and i like the white little dress she is going to wear. 2.5/5
02.Norway
I love the song but i dont know what happened, maybe its because its the same performance of the MGP but i didnt love this performance, her dress is kinda nice but the backing vocals looked very back in red, vocally we know she is not a fantastic singer but i guess she did it ok, now i have doutbs about Norway. 2/5
03.Albania
This was the surprise of the 1st day of rehearsals, even if we knew that she is an amazing singer, it was a huge surprise cause her rehearsal was like WOW, fantastic vocals, the stage looked AMAZING, the fire was great and she really deserve a big round of applause and a standing ovation, the only thing that im a bit worried about its the dress cause they said its was like the one of her official video and i thing that dress is horrible but all i can say right now its Bravo Aurela. 5/5
04.Armenia
As i said before i thing this song is bad but i knew they were going to make a good performance and i was right, i think the choreography is very good, her vocals were ok and im sure Armenia is going to the final without a doutb, also thanks for the hot dancers. 4/5
05.Turkey
Its a nice song with good vocals, i dont get the girl in the globe but its Turkey and they are in the final. 3/5
