You basically read my mind. From the first night, Montenegro and Moldova were my top two (although I'm a bit more partial to the Eurovision ballad myself). I was almost in tears when the Montenegrins didn't make it.
Honestly, you could almost reverse them in terms of placement, and when I get over my Eurovision hangover, I'll probably end up ranking her the winner of semis (with the Montenegrins close behind).
Emmelie DeForest (Denmark) actually reminded me more of Lilith Fair than anything. She was...intense. Although, what the hell is it with barefoot chicks? (I counted at least four - her, Spain, San Marino, and Bulgaria lost her shoes halfway through. Guys, Loreen didn't win because she was shoeless - she won because she was on-point with her singing WHILE KICKBOXING WITH A BIG BLACK DUDE.)
Serbia looked like Candyland prostitues. Newsflash: When you get out-Serbed by MOLDOVA, you may want to take a look at your priorities.
Ukraine...had a seriously bad semis performance, compared to her finals. I mean, if you are going to get carried out like a baby in the arms of a 7-foot-tall man wearing a kilt, you better have some fucking follow-through. She was actually a lot more confident in the finals, though, and I didn't think it was half-bad.
I am SERIOUSLY disappoint in Lithuania and Ireland. (Although they managed to find the one guy in Eire who was even more flamboyantly gay than Jedward.)
I am vastly more appreciative of a Eurovision Ballad (tm) if they actually do something on stage. You have to be fucking Celine or Mariah to get away with just standing there and belting it out.
Loreen's bare feet actually made sense because she did some (arguably bizarre) dancing, and that's definitely a thing, especially with contemporary choreo. But if you're just walking around on stage staring intensely at your flute-boy and/or the camera, it's just kinda silly.
The giant should have visibly been singing backup for Ukraine, and they might've actually come close to winning. They did surprisingly well in the finals.
I don't find Jedward gay, they're like asexual little puppies. Kinda like how all the Tiger Beat heart throb types end up coming across as non-threatening. Definitely got the gay vibe off of Ireland's entrant, but that might also be because he shared the stage with a bunch of half-naked, greased up muscular dudes.
