Talk about sore losers.... Several of the contestants here in Sweden this year have been complaining about Kaj's win. Some are saying they won't compete again because it's not about songs anymore but about spectacle, and there's even been some whining about the fact that the members of Kaj are from Finland.....

Thankfully there has been some pushback from former contestants as well. And from what I understand Kaj actually received more votes from the public than Loreen did two years ago, when she set a new record. So it's clear that the Swedish public love this song and this performance.

Czechia: I liked this song almost all the way through. He's got a good voice, and the song has a Bond-like feel to it, but that dance break near the end almost ruined it.

Israel: Very similar to last year. A little too similar. But she has a good voice.

Portugal:

  Oh dear.... moving on... quickly   

San Marino: This sounds better than it actually is, because Italian is such a beautiful language.

Switzerland:  ESC ballad, Formula 1A. Not bad, but boring. And just like with Czechia, that instrumental break near the end feels out of place.

Ukraine:  Umm.... no!

UK: I'm not overly fond of the tempo changes. I like the verses (even though, or maybe because, they remind me very much of Billy Joel's "My Life") but the slower chorus does nothing for me.

I think my top 5 favourites are (in no particular order): Sweden, Luxembourg, France, Denmark and Cyprus.

I wish that Cyprus had performed in their own language, then that would have been my outright favourite.

Rounding out my top 10 would be (again, no particular order): Spain, Greece, Italy, Serbia and Iceland.

Portugal qualifying was the only shocker. I'm really happy for Iceland.

IMO, the automatic finalists – Spain, Switzerland and Italy – had the best performances.

I love the studio version of Azerbaijan, but on stage, it was a disaster.

Yes, Portugal qualifying was definitely a shock. I'm not crazy about the Ukrainian entry either, but that was always going to qualify for obvious reasons. 

I was a bit surprised that they had the video message from Cèline Dion already in the semifinal. I would have thought they would save that for the final on Saturday.

    • Love this. And it would be part the show being meta again and a refreshing twist since the tale of a black family moving into a white neighborhood has been told, but the opposite...?

    • If you are someone who wanted to read this on IRNA & didn't get to it (before it was removed for being too long) PM me & I will see to it. (It's in my Dropbox, possibly what I should have done in the first place.)

    • Really? But it was sooooo unrealistic. At least they found a legit reason for him to not run (SilkPress Sheila ain't no punk or joke...lol). Well tbf it sounded like he was joking. So I didn't think he was serious until yesterday. And I felt...THAT'S IT? So it's good he said it aloud to Doug's face so there was no way to mistake how the scene was played...which well I did. Seems so...simple?...given what's been at play with Doug and Vanessa.    +1. I agree.
    • I absolutely love the idea of Krista Allen being on the show. I wouldn't saddle her with Jen though. I'd create a brand new character for her. She could be a diva who lives Beyond The Gates and is gradually seen at the country club. Then I'd do a slow roll out where the Duprees don't like her and her family because she is part of the first white family that "infiltrated" Beyond The Gates. Then slowly...and I mean slowly...expand Krista's character's family as a rival to the Duprees as some have said the show should have. A younger son to mix it up with Chelsea/Kat, a daughter to maybe run for office against Martin. Krista Allen could easily be a great matriarch for a rival family.

    • They said Kate was on the board too.  I am confused if that's all new developments or we always knew that.  I really have no idea why Kate would be on the hospital board.

Then in a brilliant moment she invoked the words of Claire Labine, said by Rosalind Cash as Mary Mae Ward to Stone, near death, a now very famous quote: "Every moment of my life, whether filled with joy or with pain, has the potential for grace realized. Whether it's an opportunity to learn, or whether it's to make a connection, or whether it's to find love which you didn't think existed, these are gifts from god & to throw them back in his face is something unthinkable to me." 
    • That would make sense; he is to DAYS as the Quartermaines are to GH, in terms of the hospital board. If only DAYS had a hospital worth being a board member of.
