Eurovision in Baku 2012 (III)

Will be within a few hours it will begin this year's Eurovision. Here are my comments on the songs in contest the first semifinal, according to the dress rehearsals.

Baku Crystal Hall which will be held from today the Eurovision Song Contest 2012

Montenegro: presentation worthy of such music. The donkey had to be present (true or wood, what counts is the intention!).

Iceland: good performance, simple but balanced. A duo that works very well and manages to transmit all the emotions. I do not understand the fall of favoritism after the rehearsals.

Greece: choreography that leaves much to be desired and style that does not bring anything new. But keep up the strong likelihood of passage.

Latvia: performance too simplistic that does not favor in anything the music. It will be difficult to convince when it comes to voting.

Albania: the idea of centering the entire performance the singer may favor it much. After all, there are strong chances of passing the final thanks to juries.

Romania: performance too "stop" to the music, but not much shakes his favoritism to pass for the final.

Switzerland: still amazed by the positive and lead to a strong chance of passing the final. The pronunciation problems continue, but I never understood such controversy around it: the whole performance can cover up this problem.

Belgium: very simplistic performance that dos not favor in anything the chances of passage already very weak.

Finland: it lacks passion, stage presence and ... the dancer of the national festival. Is losing favoritism.

Israel: very original, but far from the public taste of Eurovision.

San Marino: another presentation worthy of such music. No more comments...


Cyprus: despite the weak choreography, favoritism was not too upset. Continues with almost guaranteed presence in the final.

Denmark: consistent and very original. Do not disappoint anyone.

Russia: another performance worthy of the music. Is gaining increasing in favoritism. It is guaranteed the delirium in the televoting.

Hungary: despite improvements, the public is still waiting for better. It has strong competition from Switzerland and Denmark, which are undermining the chances of passing to the final.

Austria: the total madness on stage! Worthy of such music. This is amazed by the positive, and begins to please more to the public.

Moldova: the most strangest choreography of all, and that is ruining the chances of Moldova, that even were considerable.

Ireland: still very hard not to compare with the participation of twins last year. The performance is similar, but the music is of inferior quality.

According to the votes counted so far here http://poll.pollcode.com/997z  here are the 11 favorites songs (due to a tie vote). Leading Iceland, Russia and Denmark, followed by Greece, Switzerland and Hungary, and finally, Moldova, Cyprus and Ireland.
