On with the show - Lithuania and Israel

Lithuania -

This probably not the best song to open the Contest with. It would have been better if we'd had a more uptempo number on first. But Sasha Son gives another professional performance of his ballad. It's not one of our favourites, and we think it will probably find itself in the bottom half of the scoreboard. The audience gives it a warm reception, partly as it's on first and partly as the final half of the song is sung in Russian, and, of course, because they may just like it!


Israel -

Noa and Mira, poor souls, are performing in the dreaded 2nd position. They perform against a blue coloured set. We love blue, but it's perhaps over-used in this year's contest. Vocally superb, this is another professionally presented song, which may score well with the juries, if not televoters. A good reaction in the auditorium.
