Eurovision Song Contest 2008, Semi-Final 1

Country Artist Song Grade Comments
Bosnia & Hertzegovina Laka Pokušaj 0 This is a horrible song. It reminds me of a children's song. Video is awful. Says: "We don't want to host the contest next year".
Estonia Kreisiraadio Leto Svet 0 Comedy act says it all. They also don't want to host next contest. Horrible song, horrible lyrics, horrible singers and background dancers.
Finland Teräsbetoni Missä Miehet Ratsastaa 4 I actually thought Teräsbetoni wasn't going to shine in this contest but after seeing the others, I say they're pretty good.
Greece Kalomira Secret Combination 3 Britney-look-alike. She can sing but she's not extraordinary. Video is yankee-made.
Ireland Dustin The Turkey Irelande Douze Pointe 4 Horrible turkey but wonderful woman singer! I would like to hear her singing all alone. Catchy chorus. Definitely in the finals.
Israel Boaz The Fire In Your Eyes 4 I couldn't understand a word as he sang in hebrew but goodness, it was beautiful. Even the song has something that could boost its possibilities in the competition.
Moldova Geta Burlacu A Century Of Love 2 This is the woman who can't pronounce words right and left me wondering why she even sings in English. Also, the song is boring.
Montenegro Stefan Filipović Zauvijek Volim Te 3 Amazing voice for a 21-year-old. The song wasn't a hit but I could listen to it. Why was he wearing a pink shirt instead of a leather jacket whilst rocking the night away?!?
Netherlands Hind Your Heart Belongs To Me 3 The video is odd, why is she in kindergarten dressed like a hot school girl and next she's rocking in the studio? Pretty girl and strong voice, could go to the finals.
Norway Maria Hold On Be Strong 3 Syrup-coasted smiley Mariah Carey is what comes to mind after seeing this. I know they're off to the finals with this sugar-honey-almondy shit. I hate it.
Poland Isis Gee For Life 3 Pretty voice but I hate it. She can sing but but but... boring.
Romania Nico & Vlad Pe-o Margine De Lume 2 Boring. Beautiful voices but boring duet.
Russia Dima Bilan Believe 3 He can't sing live. I can't believe Timbaland has been involved in this. Dima Bilan is nothing but a studiosinger.
San Marino Miodio Complice 2 Video kinda resembles Depeche Mode. There's nothing to this song.
Slovenia Rebeka Dremelj Vrag Naj Vzame 4 Catchy chorus and the song has a good flow. Rebeka can sing and she's pretty.
Andorra Gisela Casanova 3 Horrible computer-made video. As I turned my eyes away, I noticed my feet and fingers were twitching to the beat. Actually, the chorus isn't so bad and Gisela can sing.
Armenia Sirusho Qele, qele 3 I like the drums and chorus. Video is simple but enough. Catchy chorus.
Azerbaijan Elnur & Samir Day After Day 5 Definite finale-material! Amazing video, lyrics are good, chorus catching, vocals wonderful. Especially enjoyed the falsetto. Two controversial men singing their hearts out at each other. How could this go wrong?
Belgium Ishtar O julissi 0 Horrible horrible horrible. They can't sing and their song is hideous.It doesn't even matter their lyrics don't mean a thing. Is it a joke?

I say Finland, Greece, Ireland, Israel, The Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Slovenia, Andorra, and Azerbaijan go through to the finals.
