First Semi-Final Of Eurovision

Well, it is Eurovision-season and as I am an avid fan I love to review it. So, it is time for this year's first Eurovision review... enjoy :3
Now I have this scale which is divided into 5 parts: Singing, Song, Performance, Costumes and Stage. Each of these can give the song 1 point and the best I can give is 5/5. So, here is my review of the songs in the first Semi-final for Eurovision 2012 in correct order.
Montenegro
The singing was average at best and the music was an attempt at ripping off a europop beat that failed so miserably that it almost put me to sleep. The singer looked and kind of acted like he was drunk and bored and the costumes were cheap and forgettable and kind of made him look like a hobo. I did kind of like the trippy backgrounds but the random horse and texts confused me..
Rating: 0,5/5
Iceland
I thoroughly enjoyed this song. Some people might say that it is because I am Icelandic but I must say that I am sometimes even more critical about Icelandic songs and genuinely think this is the best song Iceland has sent to Eurovision since Jóhanna got to second place. The singing was magnificent and the music was beautiful. I could clearly hear that this was a work of hard labour and passion. The singers had great chemistry together and the back-up vocalists were great. The costumes were simply perfect and fitted the atmosphere perfectly, along with the stage the performance was great and the background transition of the sunrise fitted perfectly.
Rating: 5/5
Greece
The singing was disapointing. I had heard her before and I know she has potential but this was just horrible. I did like the song itself and the performance was energetic. The costumes were okay and so was the background but it barely catched my eye.
Rating. 2,5/5
Latvia
I liked the singing but the song was nothing special. I did like the performance as it was fun and quirky with nice choreography and the costumes were cool. The stage was okay.
Rating: 3/5
Albania
I didn't like the singing. She tended to go out of tune on her high notes and the rest was just not that memorable as was the song. The performance, on the other hand, was really good and I could feel the pain in her eyes. The costume was horrible....to say the least. I don't know what she was thinking by making them do her hair up like that and the dress reminded me of a cheap version of the wicked stepmother dress from Snow white. The stage was atmospheric and very beautiful and think it's a shame that the song isn't as good as the build up of the atmosphere.

Romania
The singing was nothing to write home about bit still pretty good and the song had a good beat and fun feel. The performance and choreography was fun.I kinda liked the girl's dress but the guys weren't as well dressed and I liked the vibrant heart background on the stage.
Rating: 4,5/5
Switzerland
The singer used his voice in an annoying way and had a thick accent while singing a song which is basically a Coldplay rip-off trying to be a rock song at the same time. The performance and costumes were okay and the stage was pretty cool.
Rating: 2/5
Belgium
I was really dissapointed by Iris. I had heard her when she sang in the competition in Belgium and I was expecting great things from her. But when she got on the stage the first thing I noticed was that she was singing out of tune which is really distracting and ruined the whole song and I also noticed that she was trying to rip the voice thing the singer of the Cranberries did off and to top it her voice broke down at the end. The song was forgettable and her performance was okay. Her dress was the perfect one for her and was the only positive thing about the whole thin gas the stage was also just okay.
Rating: 2/5
Finland
I really liked this act. The singing was absolutely beautiful as the singer's voice was pure, clear and very pretty. The song was soothing and beautiful and suited the singer's voice perfectly and I liked the use of drums and strings. The performance was great as the sincerity and emotion shone from her eyes, her dress was pretty and I like how it blew around in the wind. The stage suited the mood well and the images of erupting fire brought a little bit of intensity to the performance.
Rating: 5/5
Israel
The voice of the singer was horrible and annoying and the song was equally irritating. The performance felt forced and the costumes were terrible along with the stage as it only disoriented me to the point of making me have a headache.
Rating: 0/5
San Marino
I see Eurovision has now got it's very own Rebecca Black. I found the singing boring and technically lacking with a little bit too much of an accent, the song was generic and boring and the performance felt forced as the singer always seemed so unnatural in her expressions and everything she did, really. The images floating towards you in the background got tired after the first 30 seconds and they really just annoyed me. The only good part of the act were the costumes which I found stylistic.
Rating: 1/5
Cyprus
The singing was not as good as I had hoped for but I enjoyed it nevertheless. The song was upbeat and lively and so was the performance and choreography. The costumes were okay and the stage was nothing special.
Rating: 4/5
Denmark
The singer has a great voice and the backing vocalists are great but I find the song pretty bland. The performance was full of energy and enjoyable, the costumes were diverse and cool and the stage atmospheric, yet chilled.
Rating: 4/5
Russia
The singing was dreadful. Alot of the ladies were out of tune and out of sync with the music which was nothing special. The performance was okay but the baking thing wasn't really entertaining. The costumes were okay and the stage was strange and tired my eyes. I know some people would just say "but it's a comedy entry" and to them I say: Comedy is supposed to be FUNNY and as this is neither funny nor entertaining I refuse to just be easy on it because it's supposed to be funny.
Rating: 0/5
Hungary
The singing lacked power and emotional intensity and the song was so generic and boring even the attempts of mixing dubstep with it, which failed, didn't even make it slightly better and it simply didn't work for me. The performance and costumes were nothing special and the stage design didn't work for me.
Rating: 0/5
Austria
They're average rappers but the "ooh, ooh." part was kind of repetitive. The song was generic but the choreography was good. I didn't like the outfitting but the stage worked for me.
Rating: 2,5/5
Moldova
The singer's thick accent made it almost impossible to understand a word he sang and the song was a generic folk-europopsong. I liked the quirky choreography but the girls' dresses kinda made them look like kettles. The stage was forgettable.
Rating: 1/5
Ireland
Their singing isn't anything special but it sure has gotten better since last year's competition so I guess they've been practising. The song is okay and the performance was quirky energetic and fun. The costumes on the other hand were too flashy for my taste and the stage was okay.
Rating: 3,5/5

My reactions to the results
Romenia ":)"
Moldova ":("
Iceland "YEEAAAAH! :D:D:D:D"
Hungary " ARRGH! >.<"
Denmark ":)"
Albania ":("
Cyprus ":)"
Greece ":("
Russia " You gotta be fucking kidding me.. >.<"
Ireland "meh.."

The greatest loss in my opinion was that Finland did not get through! It was a beautiful melody but instead Russia gets there... sometimes I don&#39;t understand this competition... -.-

If you like these reviews I would advice you to look out for the next one this thursday.
