My 10 to go on to the final was (those in yellow were my favourites):
Austria, Moldova, Israel, Norway, Romania, Hungary, Finland, Switzerland, FYR Macedonia, Bulgaria

The 10 voted to take part in the finals (those highlighted are those I definitely do not agree with, but that is what the public voted):
Hungary, Romania, Norway, Moldova, Israel, Denmark, FYR Macedonia, Croatia, Switzerland, Latvia

Some general conclusions about Eurovision:
I have for a long time believed that fewer countries should be speaking English. I prefer countries speaking in their own languages.
Cultural influence is good.
Semi-nudity isn't good.
Don't put children on stage.
Don't put Hi-5 impersonators on stage.
Ballads with a single person on stage is difficult to sell to an audience.
This is Eurovision some extravagance is good, far better than casual.
The performance has to work as a whole.
It MUST be entertaining, especially if it is going to be REALLY bad, eg. Lithuania which wasn't entertaining.
