Lithuania is represented by a beautiful ballad. It sounds much better here. Her voice is great, alone on stage! Simple and beautiful! Some will found it boring, thats the worst!

The perfformance from Azerbaijan is very good. Stage, dancers, coreography, singers... simple and effective. There are no reasons to be surprise if it wins!

Greek song is equal to two songs in one! The coreography is very well done, mixing traditional with hip hop elements. It is a very strong message that will work for all greek immigrants around europe. It will be in the final!

Greece close the second rehearsals day and the first semfinal. In our opinion, 8 songs will already entered the final:

Greece, Azerbaijan, Hungary, Georgia, Russia, Turkey, Norway and Albania

Probably Iceland, Finland or Armenia will do it also.
