 Moldova- First it was hair extensions, now its shirts. Thank goodness I'm not having to go through that overdose of sexuality ever again. Vocals were better than his abattoir in Chisinau.  Armenia- How did this qualify? It was so messy... I couldn't even tell what they were singing!   Belgium- Dat sass doe. Sass gets you everywhere.I wouldn't say the vocals were too good but the performance was amazing, as well as the lights   The Netherlands- Would've been my only replacer for Armenia. Her dress was horrible though. She looked like a widow doing skydiving. Her vocals were flawless though!   Finland- No words.  Greece- Now SHE was sassed to the max. I loved her voice, I loved her performance, and I loved the confidence she belted out. Still not my favourite song, but she slayed it so much that I could've cried. Speaking of which, I did cry laughing because I thought of Turk Meat.   Estonia- They were great! Another wonderful vocal and aesthetic performance! Not much to say other than they were deserved.  FYR Macedonia- What the hell. Just no. My love quickly dropped. It turned into some sort of Kenyan gospel rap sooner or later.  Serbia- Bojana is such a diva! I loved her confidence and her vocals, and she turned into a personal qualifier with that fun performance.  Hungary- I was so happy when this qualified.  Such a wonderful song, and Boggie's vocals were flawless.   Belarus- It's too bland! I feel sorry for Maimuna though. Her violin skills are pretty good.  Russia- Wonderful studio-like performance. Deserved to qualify, and I'm so, SO glad that I didn't hear any boos.  Denmark- Horrible song, totally deserved. Some lil' McFly cliché copy.  Albania- WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO HER VOCALS? Other than that everything was good except the vocals. She was completely off-key for the second part. Imagine her singing Diell in this situation!  Romania- Still my favourite of SF1. Such a heartfelt performance! Vocals were top-notch too  Georgia- Wouldn't say the vocals were all that good, but she picked up (UNLIKE ELHAIDA) and started to figuratively spread love to the arena. All in all, a great night. 9/10 passed! |

My thoughts of the Qualifiers (Srry if it's offensive ) Qualifiers : Her Voice Sucked the song sucked how did this get trough : The only reason that cheesy crap got trough is because 50% of all Armenians don't live in Armenia it self and vote with 20 cellphones each : This one deserved too qualify they where amazing : Her voice is Amazing but the song is so cheesy and unoriginal but still beter then some : Amazing performance and was happy that it qualified since it was the only non-Power ballad : Just great but hope she doesn't win : MY FAVORITE of the evening love it so much gotta win in my opinion : I am scared of her but she was so good deserved : Big ass diva but she was great deserved : Our only west European qualifier and well deserved hope he gets top 10 so only and where undeserved finalists in my opinion Now the Non-qualifiers : just plain horrble : Vocally one of the best flawless but the staging and outfit where just bad and the song it self was average but still should have qualified over and : No explanation needed : i liked to song should have qualified : didn't liked it at all : liked it but was just nothing special |

A little comment about the qualifiers of the night.
 :
I think I've been deaf on an ear listening to this... Albania, WHY? She sounded off-tune at the second part of the song, which it's pretty much the "spark" which lights the song and makes it more interesting. If she tried to make a Rona-Nishliu-high-vocal, it failed very badly. My opinion. Also I hated the commercial-type-of song which Albania remade, prefered Diell by miles. (Original place (in my top): 37th/ After the show: Still 37th )
 :
Lovely costumes Genealogy were on point in the first part. Inga stood out in the entire song with those flawless vocals which I've always adored But in the second last chorus it sounded really really messy. Luckly they got on point in the end and after me, deserved to qualify. Original idea, well done in practice, but they still have to work more untill the final. (Original place (in my top): 10th./ After the show: 9th )
 :
Loic was goddamn epic  Loved the song so badly after the performance, I breathed easily when I saw him in the final as the last qualifier. Actually, I always liked the song, but it happened that now it grew much much higher on my top due to his impressive vocals. Congratulations for an epic masterpiece and a well-deserved spot in the final! (Original place (in my top): 18th/ After the show: 5th.)
 :
Simple, elegant, yet flawless. Estonia didn't dissapointed me this year. I'm happy for them The performance had silent yet mysterious in sort-of way. That feeling reminded me of Netherlands last year, but in a Sherlock Holmes sort-of way Also the vocals were great and very fitted. (Original place (in my top): 8th./ After the show: 6th.)
 :
Stunning performance, Nina literally rocked it like a boss. Best Warrior by miles this year, Malta can't defeat it. The vocals were spot on, those visuals were epic enough, I actually can find a winner in this. Probably best Georgian entry ever by miles - she's tied for me with Eldrine (Original place: 15th./ After the show: 7th.)
 :
Maria's entry didn't impressed me as much at the beggining, since I've never liked those types of ballads. The last part of the performance was a little quite wierd, she started getting a little jazzy with that microphone Great vocals - not the best song. (Original place: 22nd/ After the show: 18th.)
 :
Along with Albania, I also hate the song, but in this case it's different. The vocals were nice enough, not irittating, but this song is literally a sleeping pill. I like the message but that's like all which I like about it. I can't even remember it, I think I've overslept on that song, sorry (Original place/After the show: 38th.)
 :
To be very honest, I wasn't surprised to see Voltaj qualified in the finals, because Romania. You know that we never miss any final. Calin's vocals were actually better than expected, and the song was great. I'd wish there wasn't the English part, it kinda ruined the charm of the song for me, as a half-Romanian. (Didn't rate it, due for being my little half-country.)
 :
Polina was amazingly great. I don't have any other comments, I think the song and the performance spoke for itself.  (Original spot/After the show: 13th)
:
This was so so joyful  I LOVE Bojana's vocals. Too bad the song wasn't as good as she deserved. Also the Serbian delegation in Vienna are probably my dearest of them all this year, and also I was glad to see the floppy Marija back I've started doing in the qualifying part like her with the very floppy audience back there, she barely changed in all those 8 years since her winning *ahem* Returning to Bojana, I was happy to see her qualifying, and I wish her good luck, she's an amazing woman and probably the nicest of them all (Original spot: 31st/ After the show: 20th.)
Now, the non-qualifiers (not calling their rating so far.):
 : Daniel, Daniel, how you're stepping over Tijana's steps with that horrible performance... I like the song, but it's ditto to 2014. Great vocals, great song, horror performance. I've became seriously dissapointed in my favorite ESC country these years, I don't know what happened to them 
 : Trijntje had a great performance, I always loved her song and the vocals were nice. I'd prefer her and Belarus over Hungary or Albania, but the voters thought something else it seems... Better luck next time, Netherlands...
 : Speaking of Belarus, the song could've been good. Uzari's vocals really improved, Maimuna was slaying as usual, the song was nice, the staging was bland and simply in one short word: meh. It left a bitter taste afterwards, since last year Belarus was my number 1 and now... I don't know what to say. Expected much better.
 : Opaaaaaaaaa, a Nordic country just flopped Kind of deserved, but their NF was weak as hell. Sorry Denmark, but you gave much better,
 : Opaaaaaaaaa, a Nordic country just flopped [2] Okay, so what happened with the Nordics this year, they flop at the limit?  Anyways, this left me deaf in both of my ears. Literally. You can guess their place on my top Where's Opera Skaala when you actually need them to slay Vienna? 
 : Again expected to see him flop. Better vocals than in Chisinau, to be fair and clear. Also the performance was cool. But the vocals in Vienna were kind of covered by the female backing (Expecially at the pre-chorus parts) and he didn't gave me any reaction. Deserved non-qualifing.
Sorry for reading too much and bad english, but hope you like my little review of the songs too ^-^  |

The selfie at the end of Serbian performance... Epic!
I can say that almost all the backing vocalist flopped... Except the serbian ones, they make the performance more awesome!

She hardly touched it for a lot of the performance |
