Lithuania and Armenia

So we're off, live blogging the 2nd semi-final. 

Lithuania

After a quick, simple beginning it's time for the first song.  A good, fun opener.  A jokey, slightly political song, with 5 men playing with fake instruments who then pull their trousers off.  It's what gives Eurovision its tacky reputation.  Some of the lighting towards of the song seems too dark, but we think this could well qualify.


Armenia

The guy who plays the wind instrument at the sonng was a little late placing the instrument in his mouth, so the backing track came in but it didn't look like he was playing it.  This is a well liked entry, but we're not totally convinced by the stage act, with a man dancing round with a big stone.  Some are tipping this as the winner of the Contest, which we don't see at all.  But a likely qualifier.
