Belarus and Ireland

Belarus

After a small little break, time for the Butterflies.  We like the tune of this song, but only really understand about 1 in 3 of the words.  We think they should have been a little more subtle with the presentation.  Yes, the wings moment gives the audience the chance to whoop and cheer, but it just seems too silly. We don't think juries will go for this.  This afternoon, vocally all very good.  But we'd be disappointed if this won.


Ireland

Not a great draw for Ireland, coming after another ballad.  But we're just relieved Niamh made it through.  In contrast to Belarus' over the top performance, this is a simple presentation.  Niamh isn't giving it her all this afternoon, and we're a bit concerned she has got problems with her voice.  It could be that she's deliberately holding back, but she definitely isn't hitting some of the higher notes.
