Since I´m Icelandic I´m a big fan of Eurovision, it´s very big in Iceland, everybody watches it and celebrate it with big parties. I think mostly because it happens to be around the time when people are graduating and finished with exams so it´s just another reason to celebrate! Also because we don´t compete in a lot of international competitions (at least not as big as these ones).
1) Azerbaijan
Good song, beautiful voice and stunning dress. I particularly liked the dancer and the extra effects like wind machine and lights...it helped since it was a calm song and the singer didn´t move much. But when she moved during the "drip drop drip drop" I couldn´t help but laugh..
2) Spain
Interesting song and characters on stage. Good singers.
Did you notice the guy who came on stage and was later taken by security...what an entrance!!
3) Norway
Beautiful song and melody but his voice bugged me.
4) Moldovia
I remembered the woman from the semi-finals because of her makeup, the moves by the guys were so funny. At least they had a blast performing. That was obvious. Otherwise funky clothes.
5) Cyprus
His voice really impressed me, such a sweet one. The song was only ok, not really memorable.
6) Bosnia&Herzegovina
Interesting to hear a rock song in Eurovision...but not my cup of tea
7) Belgium
Nice voice and mellow song, haven´t heard such mellow song with only guitar in Eurovision=interesting. I bet next year more indie artists will try out for Eurovision after hearing this.
8) Serbia
Remember a few years ago, Serbia sent a woman that looked like a man, well this year they did the opposite. Didn´t really like the song or the performance, but i predict it will be popular in dance clubs.
9) Belarus
This reminded me of old Eurovision songs, which were majority melodies. I liked the glitter dresses. Interesting to have the wings appear when they sang about butterflies :P
10) Irland
Irland has won most Eurovision contests with their slow songs so no wonder that they have a slow song. It sounded more like a soundtrack music than Eurovision entry.
11) Greece
OPA! typical greek...loved it. Very interesting choreography.
12) United Kingdom
interesting stage setup with the boxes and backup singers on top , but a horrible song and badly sung. Such a shame since UK has amazing singers.
13) Georgia
Beautiful voice but the modern dance choreography did more for the song than the song itself.
14) Turkey
Interesting music, very different from anything else this year. Too much lighting for my taste. Loved the robot (woman) dancer in the back.
15) Albania
I liked that they had modern music once again (in the past they´ve had too traditional music) but i didn´t like her outfit. Otherwise nice rhytm and good voice.
16) Iceland
My homecountry, we´re eurovision fanatics so we pick very carefully who goes each year. I´m so proud of Hera, she was amazing, sang so well and i loved the choreography of the background singers. Didn´t like her dress, liked more the one that she had in the video (where i used to swim in school, funny). Loved the volcano on their waiting desk. Nobody can say we we don´t have humor :P
17) Ukraine
What a voice, very emotional but i barely understood her english
18) France
Good summer song...Ale, ale , ale...i don´t know what they were singing about but their movements were very diverse, everything from acrobatics to bootylicious.
19) Romania
Liked the piano and her voice (especially when she went up high)...will definitely played in the clubs
20) Russia
Slow song, talking in between.... was ok. Nothing more, nothing less.
21) Armenia
Interesting music, clothes and instrument
22) Germany
Really interesting and catchy song, couldn´t believe she was German since her English was really good. Unfortunately her dance moves were not. She should have had some dancers.
23) Portugal
Beautiful voice, song and outfit. Very charismatic and worked the camera well. Reminded me a bit of Christina Aguilera.
24) Israel
Ok song..very dramatic and nice voice.
25) Denmark
Interesting play with the wall and seperation of the two singers. Easy on the wind machine. Otherwise good song.
My favorite were Iceland, Greece, Germany, Azerbaijan, Portugal, Denmark and Belgium. I´ll say Albania too because my boyfriend is from Kosovo.
I loved the flashmob dance (both in Norway as around the world), especially showing from people´s living room, so funny. Nice way to kill time.
I was worried after watching the semi finals that it would be a boring competition but it turned out to be the opposite, really interesting songs and fun competition. Norway did such a good job hosting it.
Germany WON! Although I didn´t like her performance i love the song so I´m very happy with the results.
Great Eurovision. To celebrate we can dance the fabulous mob dance
