Also in the second semifinal of the Eurovision Song Contest we live blogging along with additional information about the acts, directly commentary and the best tweets. Here you will learn everything about the Danish One Direction the fittie Douwe Bob with the submission of Israel and of course the naked singer from Belarus.
21:46 am & gt; 09 Lithuania
Donny Montell
Like Kaliopi of Macedonia did Donny Montell in 2012 already participated in the contest. When the Lithuanian ended in the final on the fourteenth place, just below the Macedonian. But: new round, new opportunities. This time we think Donny (which is actually called Donatas) above Kaliopi (yes, really hot Kaliopi) will end.
I’ve been waiting for this night
A veritable dance blast brings Donny Montell. Thirteen in a dozen. Emotionless. Produced over. May all be true, but still, we find it more palatable than this number such as number Macedonian cry net. And dance is quite simply a popular genre. Donny has been waiting for the final .
21:43 am & gt; 08 Macedonia
Kaliopi
Kaliopi (yes, that’s a first name), this is the second time the contest. In 2012, the singer was thirteenth in the final with the song Crno i belo . Since then, Macedonia has been unable to achieve more for the final battle. To the semi-finals again once stood is Kaliopi again conjured out of the hat
Dona
Puzzle:. How often sings Kaliopi ‘Dona’ in this song? This is the only song without English anyway and that’s an advantage for Kaliopi, because it will appeal to many Balkan countries. But outside stores this rock ballad completely not, we think. It sounds foolish dated and cheap. Oh yes, answer to the riddle: 27 times
And.? How does she do it?
Kaliopi sings her lungs out and try on her way a little dance. In the end, she screams the whole stage together.
21:39 am & gt; 07 Ireland
Nicky Byrne
Ireland won the 90 four times Eurovision, but know that none dent for years save a packet of butter (which culminated in the turkey in 2008). To bring in there hopefully change thought the Irish: we go a little bit back to the 90 Which Irish succesact originated in that period? Precisely, the boyband Westlife. Singer Nicky Byrne was in that formation and is now a solo on stage.
Sunlight
In a Westlife singer you also expect a boyband-ish number. And yes, Sunlight is nice predictable hug rock and has a cheesy lyrics. It’s all very general, but that ‘… sun light’ remains suspended.
And? How-does he do it?
auuu. Nicky there is quite beside the chorus. Like his jacket his vocal range much too small for this number. And why he pretended he was some kind of selfie-video? Westlife fans or not, Ireland will probably not reach the final.
21:34 am & gt; 06 Serbia
Sanja Vucic ZAA
You may think what a strange name, ZAA, but that is the band whose singer Sanja Vucic is a part. This group was selected internally by the Serbian public broadcaster to give young talent a chance at Eurovision. Except Sanja there is indeed one of the band on stage.
Goodbye (Shelter)
Goodbye (Shelter) a dramatic ballad with a message, namely on domestic violence against women. Songwriter Ivana Peters wants over this issue’s topic of discussion. A noble goal, and Sanja sings passionately, but perhaps too much devotion. It’s so theatrical that it comes across forced.
And? How does she do it?
“A real power woman” called Jan Smit these Sanja, and that she is. But how well she sings, we love here not so much.
21:31 am & gt; Måns indeed nude
Ivan was not naked with wolves on the podium, but Måns presenter does it just! He holds a stuffed animal for his private parts.
21:28 am & gt; 05 Belarus
Ivan
Nude and wolves. As Ivan wanted to perform at the Eurovision Song Contest. He drew attention to this notice: never before had someone completely without clothes on stage and wolves would be unique. But … the Eurovision rules were not increasing. Hence, we must do it with a hologram of Ivan in his naked and with hologram wolves.
Help you fly
Help you fly is a moderate pop-rock number. The chorus is still somewhat catchy, but the verses are too monotonous and complete no impression. And where such wording refers to in this setting? Ivan wants to learn to fly the wolves?
And? How does he do it
First we have just lost: why those white stripes on his face ?! Have the wolves scratched him? Further, the holograms look a bit cheap looking, which made Armenia the first semifinal to be better
21.24 hrs & gt; 04 Israel
Hovi Star
The Israeli singer Hovi Star may not be as well a door with Douwe Bob. When warming up Eurovision Eurovision in Concert Douwe Hovi found something flamboyant. “At one point I said guest, I think you’re wonderful, but please do a little quieter. That shot him in the wrong way, “Douwe verklapte in the documentary about his Eurovision adventure.
Made of stars
sounded in the Israeli preliminary round Made of stars still quite different, namely a half-hearted pop song with nervous drums. Hovi Star was ascribed little chance of a place in the final. But then suddenly a new version, the number has now been transformed into an R & amp; B ballad, which Hovi Star are egg can lose a lot better
And.? How does he do it
Hovi Star is very good voice and he has besides the many stars and fireworks are something spectacular in store for us: a luminous mega-hoop with two dancers which spinning it. Beautiful act!
21.20 & gt; 03 Switzerland
Rykka
Switzerland has four languages (German, French, Italian and Romansh) and as many public broadcasters ( the intriguing names SRF, RTS, RSI and RTR). The Swiss selection round for Eurovision is a collaboration of all the broadcasters and is a fairly complicated matter. Winner Rykka does not sing in German, French, Italian or Romansh, but just in English.
The last of our kids
The electropop song the burden of our child seems clearly inspired by the success of Sia (see also the bobpruikje in the video clip). The song is too flat and repetitive, so it is by no means close to hits like Chandelier and Cheap Thrills . And modulation at the end … au.
and? How does she do it?
With the smokescreen that at the beginning of the act from its tip comes Rykka can not hide the fact that her voice lacking for this song. Her moves she must already have not, because they make awkward movements that look a bit like skiing.
21.15 & gt; 02 Poland
Michał Szpak
After the Polish national preliminaries were many diehard Eurovision fans in complete shock. The Rihanna-like number Cool Me Down of singer Margaret was towering favorite and on that basis Poland even stood first at the European bookmakers. But when Margaret live turned out slightly less to sing and Michał Szpak went unexpectedly to profit off. Poland went into swoop down into many favorite lists.
Color of Your Life
Michał Szpak using Color of Your Life in our opinion a rather dull number. A rock ballad that between bash but a little by lapping until the end his only play to hear. You’ve got to love it. we do not.
And? How-does he do it?
Well, Michał can sing best, though he has a small uitglijdertje in the beginning. The ringmaster outfit and Jack Sparrow-style are an odd combination.
21:11 am & gt; 01 Latvia
Just’s
Latvia surprised last year friend and foe with a sixth place for experimental number Love Injected . The singer at the time, Aminata, again wrote an entry and who won gloriously in the Latvian heat. This time Aminata does not sing himself; they leave that to Just’s. This note had never been active as a singer.
Heartbeat
Heartbeat is just as modern as Love Injected , has just such minimalist verses and just as dramatic chorus (in the positive sense of the word). Justs is like Aminata good long play. We see a final place to happen again for Latvia!
And? How does he do it?
Just’s sings well and gets hot. He goes wild on stage and in the end “all red eyes,” says Jan Smit. The camera work and background projection fit very well with the song.
21.05 & gt; Opening act
In the opening Petra and Måns celebrate the history of the Eurovision Song Contest in a musical medley. Petra appears suddenly to be able to sing! And dancing
21.00 & gt; Here we go!
Yes, it’s started! In two hours we know which ten competitors Douwe Bob still gets to Saturday. The presenters of tonight – like Tuesday – Petra Mede and Eurovision winner last year, Måns Zelmerlöw. Petra is extensively applauded by the public
20.55 & gt.; Douwe Bob is Belgium
20:49 am & gt; Jan and Cornald get help Douwe Bob
Jan Smit and Cornald Maas soon give comments on the broadcast NPO 1. And they are helped by Douwe Bob!
20.45 & gt ; A little more
