The last day of the technical rehearsals for the semifinalists is now over and we have a clearer picture of it all. Once again most everyone did a decent job. Some acts weren't maybe up to the expectations or simply missing the wow factor, like Slovakia, Turkey, Lithuania, Georgia - if there were any for the later. Estonia and Bosnia & Herzegovina kept it simple which was a good choice in my books. Croatia and Slovenia were pretty similar neck to neck and both did a good job but maybe Slovenia just a little better? And that leaves us with Norway and Sweden. Both were pretty much the same they were in national finals and that's ok. Loreen delivered and Tooji was in a top form as well. The Nordic countries are once again top contenders.

The Azerbaijani selection show for the represant was as long as the selection process for the five finalists. Kurt Calleja from Malta and Can Bonomo from Turkey were present with Ell/Nikki to see Sabina Babayeva to emerge as the winner after each and every finalist had done about zillion songs amongst other guests. Now the Azeri TV will shop around a suitable song for her.
