    Funny when you hear Irish people who know nothing about Eurovision say Jedward were an embarrassment, and there you have them in a segment with Eurovision legends Verka, Loreen and Conchita. They definitely made their mark.
    Exactly, they are a novelty act but very decent bubble gum pop, but put on a show.

    Outside chance for Greece
    I actually think Greece will make it pretty comfortably, it's catchy I can still humm it.
    Estonia I don't see it

    I think to the casual viewer that sort of makes sense though, they don't really understand that the Eurovision is a bit of a different animal.

    His voice is unreal the song is lovely, the staging and his styling I think might cost them

    When you think of it, there is really only two acts that made it to global superstar status in 65 years!

    Nothing really stood out for me tonight. The first semi was much stronger. I think Ukraine and Lithuania will be hard beat

    I'd be very surprised if Ukraine and Lithuania are top 5
