The 2007 semi-final

What a show!
This was the best semi-final ever, many high quality songs, with powerfull performances. The stage is indeed small but it works ok in television. The hosts have a nive chemistry between them and the portuguese commentators speek a little too much...
Highligts and some lows of the evening:
1. Bulgaria: Powerfull song, with an amazing instrumental track. Elitsa's voice was a little too nervous...
3. Cyprus: Very professional performance from a true ESC Diva.
4. Belarus: Koldun was one of the best singers of the night and gave a excellent performance of is magic song.
6. Georgia: I like this song but on stage it seem like there was something extra missing...
8. Switzerland: New member of the "Kate Ryan club". Bad vocal performance.
9. Moldova: Powerfull song but average performance from Natalia Barbu.
12. Denmark: This could have been a lot better. DQ is too "clean".
15. Servia: Perhaps the best song of the nigh, sung by the amazing Marija.
17. Portugal: The best Portuguese entry in years. We have nothing to he ashamed of. Sabrina deserves our congratulations!
18. FYR Macedonia: Its good to have so many neighbours...
22. Hungary: I didn't like this song much but the performance was very very good.
25. Slovenia: Opera diva, stage show was not amazing but just ok. Alenka was a bit too relaxed.
26. Turkey: Excellent performance, it made Europe shake and shake...
28. Latvia: Good song, good performance, charismatic singers!
