Marija's start would be very suitable for the ongoing debate in SF re same-sex marriages! Yay! Appearing in suit with a bride [picture at qx.se], ripping of the frock to make her another woman in suit - to later make her an androgynous character. And the chorus in the same half-suit and half-frock... Cool! If Marija wasn't a lesbian (and gay) icon before, this certainly did her one! 
1. Romania - great performance. But, hadn't Vlad - the male singer - unbuttoned a "few" extra buttons in his shirt? A second Black Forrest..
2. UK - loved the song on the CD, but live??? What was the chorus doing? Fun rainbow-colored stage!
3. Albania - booing audience (politics) but such a poor sportsmanship. Boo, Serbian audience!
Great song, but a voice that really doesn't last fully. Seems like I always like the Albanian competitors, but never my 100% favourites.
4. Germany - Disco-beat, but BOOOOORING, and not in tune... Geez! The Irish turkey sang better! Schade!
5. Armenia - An exceptionally strong voice when she starts! And a fun disco-beat. "Qele Qele" - what does it mean?? The summer's dance tune? And some places one can hear a "Wild dances" beat...
6. Bosnia-Herzegovina - not in tune. Not sure that I will love you, mo matter how many times you beg: "Ljuba mi"...
7. Israel - BICEPS - douze points! Thanks for the selection, Dana! Musically, not that exciting...
8. Finland - Lordi was fun once, but twice? Ei...
9. Croatia - Great to see someone not caring about ageism... :) Bringing the old men in from the streets!
10. Poland - odd dress... But very Polish. Not a voice that really works... And OUT of tune...
11. Iceland - our Nordic sisters and brothers have sent a singing dolphin with female colleague. But his biceps didn't beat the Israeli biceps. The song is a nice disco song.
12. Turkey - Turkish rock-bands... I am not convinced, although it is a great song. However, it is fabulous that some countries stick to their native tongues - and not some majority English in some local brew.
13. Portugal - Finally an artist chosen for artistic quality, but the song is not that exciting. Grows, like Ravel's Bolero.
14. Latvia - Not something that I think will be sought after on Pirate Bay... Reminds me of artists trying to making something fun of their performance like the UK last year. And these sing just as poorly... And this is Swenglish de luxe!
15. Sweden - Charlotte.... A professional. My hero! Fabulous performance!! Partial me??
16. Denmark - Catchy refrain, cute singer. But not hver gang...
17. Georgia - Germany sent a blind singer 6 years ago. It seldom pays off in stage-performance. This is a great song.
18. Ukraine - a threat they say... Would be the amount of skin shown on stage, not quality in my ears... And the performance that would most sex-club performers green of envy....
19. France - Entry in a golf car is a fun approach! But the song was not that fun.
20. Azerbaijan - A lot of go! With fallen angels on stage...
21. Greece - Not like (winner) Elena Paparizou. Sigh! Not to mention how I miss Mr Muscle, Sakis the year before...
22. Spain - Can be glad to belong to the big four and be saved a seat. This is not a winner, possibly a summer plague on some dance floors.
23. Serbia - a new ballad from them. I am not convinced here. One of the favorites, they say.
24. Russia - Bilan is cute as always... And the song is boring. But without the sound one can enjoy him crawling on the floor and unbuttoning his shirt... And get Plushenko on stage doing pirouettes on a small ice rink...
25. Norway - a great voice. The "Victory for Norway"-flag wasn't visible till the last seconds. The song is great. But the voice didn't really last.
SHORT skirts (mus-i-kantkjolar) seems to be a trade-mark for most of the women this year (Germany, Armenia, and Sweden). Bosnia-Herzegovina had women women knitting, Poland - all the cleavage, and reaching the mus-i-kant from the top... Objectifying to say the least. I don't think any of the previous years have been this bad!
"Serblish" is a language of its own...
But the interval things... Not to mention the Green Room chats!
