Israel, Finland, Croatia

Another technical hitch left us with a test-card before Israel.
Commercial break at this point.

Israel - Boaz dressed in a silver wasitcoat takes a while to get on stage, but once he does, the song shines! This strong ballad is a deserved finalist but may suffer from being after the break. Great performance from Boaz and the boys.

Finland - The surprise finalist, Teräsbetoni, certainly make their presence felt with their pyro-rock show. Anyone near the front of the stage may come away with an instant suntan after this song. Difficult to see how Finland will do, but their rock entries seem to get them good results these days.

Croatia - Another surprise finalist, Romanca did as well as the semi performace and will probably pick up a lot of votes from neighbours now that FYROM/Slovenia and Montenegro are out. Can't see it doing top 10 though.
