    I like the french song. Probably because it sounds like a Stormae song.

    Yodel song was the big surprise of the night for me. Really enjoyed it. Enjoyed it even more when I turned the sound on.

    Hungary was great.

    Armenia - enjoyed this as ever.

    UK was surprisingly good.

    Italy was rubbish. Dancing gorilla was fun, but the song is awful.

    Portugal I don't understand.

    Bulgaria - probably has it in the bag, but not my favourite. Enough with irritating 17 year olds.

    I would normally agree , but singing in French doesn't hurt this actually imo.

    I love it that they sing in French! I think it's great when a country sings in native language.

    I'm watching from Paris though so I might be biased :p

    I'm not being anti-French with this.

    I just think that English is the no 1 language for people who speak another language and people prefer songs that they can understand.

    I think that is a major reason Ireland did so well in the 90s as at the time countries were compelled to sing in their own language.

    If Ireland hosted, they would bring Mrs. Brown on.

    You know they will. :(
