Azerbaijan and Ukraine

Azerbaijan

Ok, here's the favourite.  Dressed in a beautiful blue outfit, Safura looks a little scared standing at the top of her stairs, but the male dancer now holds her hand as she descends them.  This is a strong contemporary effort, but seems to have lost a bit of backing since the second rehearsal.  Safura is in pretty good voice, although some people think she's not quite hitting the notes, and you either love or hate the 'drip drop' lyric.  We're not convinced that the bit where Safura has to run back to the main stage after being on the catwalk really works.  To us, Sweden was better, but Azerbaijan is surely qualifying.


Ukraine

We don't like this song, but Alyosha is a great singer and is full of passion.  This could be a surprise qualifier, and a lot of people are now tipping that it will make it through.  A strong performance - we just wish she was singing something else.
