The 10 with the most votes.

You do not say? Very Happy

But who do you want to come to final then? And more serious, who do you think will go to final? ;)

**Miranda** Mon May 21, 2012 3:37 am

I want Ireland & Cyprus to qualify! They are my absolute favourites of this semi final. But I also think that Iceland, Denmark & Greece should qualify. Unfortunately I can't vote in this semi final, so I'll keep my thumbs up! Keep Paparizouing!

**Horgu13** Mon May 21, 2012 3:42 am

I don't care so much. But I hope Greece and Cyprus don't come to the Final. Both Singers have no personality. Elefteria's Song is a Mix of Elena,Kalomira,Sarbel etc and IVI's Song is like a 0815 Song of Rhianna.

Generally I heard nothing this year where I would say wow......this Song could win.

**Linen** Mon May 21, 2012 3:42 am

I want Cyprus and Ireland to qualify so badly!!!!
I also want Iceland, Denmark and Greece to qualify smile

Otherwise it doesn't matter for me really....
All the songs I wanna vote for are in this semi and that sucks Razz

**Samuel** Mon May 21, 2012 4:38 am

Will we know what places all of songs will get in the semi final, before the final?

it's a really cool song Very Happy

my second cousin got me to like Jedward when they were in x-factor smile

I'm not their biggest fan but they are cool.

**Samuel** Mon May 21, 2012 5:14 am

Are you from UK? Wasn't there they was in X-factor if I remember correct?

Nope, they always reveal it after the final. Remember last year the swedish commentators said in the end of the final.

**Samuel** Mon May 21, 2012 5:51 am

I do not remember, but I guess you're correct.

I wonder how many watches the semi finals, and the final. I guess much more in the final.

yeah the final always has more viewers than the semifinals. and if you compare how many there are in the audience, it's always much more in the final smile

**Tiago** Mon May 21, 2012 9:38 am

I haven't listened to most songs this year so I can only say that I want Iceland to qualify and Russia to have 0 points.

Horgu, not even Rihanna and her huge marketing/publicity machine, could make Cyprus song an hit! rofl

**Samuel** Tue May 22, 2012 4:55 am

First dress rehearsal for semi final 1:

**Miranda** Tue May 22, 2012 5:38 am

**Gagi** Tue May 22, 2012 5:49 am

Eleftherias dress is disaster
Albanian dress is something from lady gaga collection
i dont know should i say this but Jedwards costume is bad this year

**Miranda** Tue May 22, 2012 6:03 am

**Samuel** Wed May 23, 2012 4:07 am

In the beginning I didn't like Hungary. But I have changed my mind totally, it is pretty good.

**Elenaki23** Wed May 23, 2012 4:09 am

i missed the beginning and 13 songs, i was outside and walked with dog, but few minutes ago i came home, turned on TV and was number 14 - GRANNIES, ahahah. The middle of their performance, i was in time, well, almost, so to speak. smile

)))

**Samuel** Wed May 23, 2012 4:11 am

Do you hope that they will win? The grannies I mean. Very Happy

Austria have a weird song. They said the song text meant "shake your butt". Razz

**Elenaki23** Wed May 23, 2012 4:39 am

No, i didn't say anything of hope smile

i have hope for another time and deals. smile

I guess, they won't. Nothing can say more because missed other performers.

**Samuel** Wed May 23, 2012 4:40 am

The interval act now is weird. lol!

I really want Finland to go to the final, would make my day!

**Panagiotis** Wed May 23, 2012 4:58 am

**Akos Kirsch** Wed May 23, 2012 5:10 am

Cyprus & Greece in the final of eurovision, at my birthday. With other years entries that would be even better though big grin

Why everyone has been mourning about eleftheria's voice this afternoon? She did it quite well, actually it sounded like a studio record to me! And this wile dancing so much. Respect! I still think her appearance and song were avarage, but her abilities today qualify her for the final for sure!

Adamou was a bit more classy and original in appearance, but the song is still average... She took her voice really deep/down, didn't she? Still her performance was among the best tonight.

I loved Romania, and Russia was lovely.

Glad all 4 made it to the final.

**Samuel** Wed May 23, 2012 5:22 am

This Greek girl sang for sure better then in the first rehearsal she had, I am not so good at recognizing good/bad singing but in the first rehearsal she was not good.

That's right. I think the whole song was german but the chorus (song title) was all i understood, along with "noodle soup". It was Austrian German, but still i am not sure if they had real sentences or just nonsense lyrics.

At leastyou could watch it lol!

we had commercials. We is greek in this case lol!

luckily i have greek tv. German tv didnt show it live. I even didnt know numbers to vote.

I looooved Denmark & Iceland as well they were awesome too!
Cyprus & Ireland were the best then Greece, Denmark and Iceland!!!

That is why I like SVT, no commercials. It makes the experience much better.

But I think the jokes they had through the show was pretty... bad? Don't you all think that? Rigid jokes.

Agree I like that it's no commercials Very Happy

They were bad but not as bad as last year. They all try to copy the hosts in Norway I think smile

The ones in Norway has been my favs hosts in ages.

I bet they saved Jedward for last on purpose like they did with Eric last year Razz
