Spain, Serbia, Russia, Norway

And so to the last 4 songs from a very strong final.

Spain - For some, Rodolfo has put the "pain" in "Spain" with Baila El Chiki Chiki. He dropped his glasses during this performance, not sure if it was deliberate. Disco y Grafica (dancers) shine as usual. Bit ropey overall though.

Serbia - Home country up next. Dressed in silvery grey , Jelena gives a very good performance. Needs to lose the purple eye shadow though. This is going to be a contender but can't see it winning in this strong final.

Russia - Amongst the fans gathered here, Dima is not one of the most poplular artists. Russia has certainly thrown everything it can at this performance including a very well know ice skater. Dima's performance is a bit over the top as ever. Certainly top 3 but Serbia and Russia may take votes from each other...thus letting Ukraine through to the winning post perhaps?

Norway Yet another Nordic qualifier, and one of our faves since we first heard it many months ago. Great song to finish the final on, Maria is pitch perfect as ever, looks great and so deserves to be in the final. We would love this to do really well.

So......lots of food for thought. Must go and work out our predictions now. What a toughie!
