Hungary - AWS - Viszlát Nyár Hungary is in the league of their own this year, and the staging is pretty much what was expected. You like it or you don't. The singer uses both bridge and the catwalk to run around barefoot and scream away his song with an energy of a little village. The guitarist crowd-surfs. This is heavy rock'n roll baby! Keep moshing. This is yelling its way to the final. Blue and golden lights with strobos. Pyros and smoke.  "A little dizzy visually", "Hate it or love it", "Flashy", "In your face", "Loud" Latvia - Laura Rizzotto - Funny girl Surprise! It's red. From lighting to her Victoria Secret inspired revealing dress. She stands with her microphone until she's had enough and throws the stand away. The focus on her and her vocals - described by some as powerful, the other as weak - and emotions. Interesting camera angles and tricks including her hair? After Eleni and Romania...

  Benjamin Ingrosso has won the Swedish national selection Melodifestivalen with his Dance you off. He won both international jury vote and the televote. It was the usual Mello show but for the first time someone had to sing again because of some technical problems, that was Renaida. I also realized heer song is like any Alma song minus Alma's voice. Finnish Alma, not French. I also realized Lundvik would be veery similar to Austria's entry, so...  Jessica wasn't at her best tonight but LIamoo really seemed to enjoy his time onstage. I wasn't feeling neither Felix nor Benjamin and now that Benjamin won, I'm veery, very curious to see how it sounds live. And how they recreate that staging in Lisbon... will they drag the whole lightning system over there?
