Excuse me...I've lost my hunky backing dancer(s)

Here are my picks for Semi 1

Anggun (France) - we'll have to wait till the final to see where they're taking her...

1. Iceland (best song in this Semi)

2. Greece

3. Albania

4. Romania

5. Cyprus

6. Denmark (potential Top 5)

7. Russia (likely runner up)

8. Ireland

9. Moldova

10. (hard pressed but I think it’ll go to) Israel or (if the audience loses their minds) Austria

Bad luck to Montenegro (really – 3 times going first in the first Semi is awfully bad luck but you sent an awful song so insert something about karma here).

Shame on San Marino for sending one of the worst songs to have been entered into the contest in the last 5 years…not a good way to return to the competition. Really a song about Facebook and Social Networking…urgh!

Missed opportunity for Latvia – former winners should know better than to send this kind of trite.
