the dancers were too mature for this singer

17 - FYR Macedonia - Martin Vucic - "Make My Day"
Song is quite good, but presentation is terrible. The singer desperately needs a clothes change, he was too casually dressed like the dancers and his male back up singers. The dancers looked cheap and back-up singers looked gay. I would have included a picture to give a clearer picture of what I'm saying but the dancers are just too much for my blogspot. They should have been a little more extravagant for Eurovision, and with those dancers, Vucic should have been more like last year's Deen who sang "In The Disco" for Bosnia Herzegovina. He needs to look more like a pimp with those dancers. This was the second entrant that reminded me of Safri Duo

18 - Andorra - Marian van de Wal - "La mirada interior"
Bad and dull. I'm guessing they were hoping the sweaty shirtless men would pull them through with those giant fans made of feathers. I knew it wouldn't. The british commentator referred to the dancers as 'batman and robin' at one point.

19 - Switzerland - Vanilla Ninja - "Cool Vibes"
A very pretty chick band, they could have been models. Good composition my dad said. It is a good song for Eurovision, but as you often find, they use words no English background speaking country would ever use, "cool vibes"?

20 - Croatia - Boris Novkovic feat. Lado Members - "Vukovi Umiru Sami"
I was outraged when these people made it through to the final round. They started off with traditional instruments like last year's second place Serbia and Montenegro, whether intentional or not. But are nowhere near the standard of my favourite from last year. It was a bad dull song and so was the singer. They took the place of a more deserving entrant. Also, the female back singers were dressed in these white see-through numbers that just looked terrible

21 - Bulgaria - Kaffe - "Lorrain"
This reminded me of a lounge song. I didn't think it really stood out, but the results prove I was wrong. The singer has a better falsetto (I think that's what you call it). It was OK overall.

22 - Ireland - Donna and Joseph McCaul - "Love?" (Joseph pictured below)
Crap. It sounded like bad karaoke. Which is quite sad, because they have won Eurovision so many times yet recent entries have just been bad. This was a brother and sister duet, the boy is 17 but he looks much younger to me and so the back-up dancers just... look too mature for such a child. The Irish dancing was a nice touch but didn't fit with the song, this bad song. Joseph's dancing was amusing, couldn't keep still even for a second.
