They're both annoying, the female host makes me cringe when she speaks and she's so fake. The Finnish hosts were 10 times better.

true ^^, at least they could speak properly ^^ And I am fine as long as Serbia doesn't win again XD

Ugh, Kalomira's song is alright but it sounds more American than Greek. She is half American though... but still. :/ I like the dance and the song, it's just... typical-sounding. My Number 1 FTW, lol.

I wonder what did everyone think about Israel's (my country's) song lmao.

I think it's nice but too bad he doesn't sing it in English.

Most people won't relate to Hebrew and the lyrics are pretty.

That's one of the songs I really like, he sings very well (although I thought it was a woman singing at first), the melody is nice and I actually like it's partly in hebrew. It fits the song. I also like the fact that it's not full of gimmicks, but just him singing. I think it'll do very well.

Thanks!

at the thought it's a woman singing!

He really has high voice (he could duet well with ayu lmao) and thanks to it he won Israel's "A Star is born" show which is like "American Idol" just israel's, and he was chosen to sing in the Eurovision this year to represent Israel.

Yeah I like that he just sings and there's nothing special!
The song is kinda the fresh type of ballad.

Oh he sings partly in English at the end? I thought he won't since they said here he won't (and I couldn't watch the semi-finals).

I think he sang the middle in English, though it wasn't that understandable, I didn't realize it until a few sentences in. (something like "come with me, let me show you something something fire in your eyes").

I hope he'll do as well as Shiri in 2005, she was great too. And it's a huge improvement over 2007s "Push the button"

Push the button was one huge EW, I couldn't believe this song was chosen to represent us.

Humiliating...

Shiri just started her own first tour and she sings her Eurovision song there as well lol =P her song was good.

Yeah, some Israelis sing in EngRish as well LOL.

In the first semi-final he was the second to sing, no? Me and my dad liked it a lot!!!! It has more feeling than the song that won. I think that he sang english somewhere in the middle too, but I didn't mind that it was in Hebrew: it sounded good and that's what matters! I thought it was a woman at first too Anyway, it was good! If you have the song, let me know

[XFER]

Oh, I hated the song from Israel this year, completely horrible and he sings like a girl!

Now, Shiri was amazing!!!!!!!!

I love how Dana International wrote the lyrics for the Israel entry. Her song Diva is just epic, and her album Hakol Ze Letova too. Diva (1998), along with Wild Dances (2004) by Ruslana have been the most recents winners I've enjoyed. The others just don't stick out. And last year's winner sucked, srsly.

Is Greece favourite to win? The final's on tomorrow right?

Edit Oh and Helena Paparizou's song was alright too, but her albums are better. <3

Last years winner was "the victory of the song" supposedly, since people always complain it's more of a show contest than song contest. I liked the crazy Verka in 2nd place a lot better though.

Currently, Russia is the projected winner according to the bettings, with Ukraine, Greece, Serbia and Sweden following.

I hope Ukraine doesn't stall at #2 again this year. I really like Shady Lady! But the lady who sings it really scares me, too much makeup.

I really wanna see Ani win, she's great. But yea, she could cut back a bit on the make up The Swedish Charlotte or Polish one on the other hand .... And the Portugese looks like Ursula from The Little Mermaid.

[xLuna&1LOVE]

I saw Sweden last week, I think she's the best of these horrible songs...

[Miku]

Iceland's song is too good <3
