Eurovision 2008: Results of the 2nd Semi-Final

Tuomo writes: First of all, congratulations to all the songs from the second semi-finals that made it to the finals. Once again, here's a quick commentary on today's/tonight's results (in order of performance); note that I/we haven't seen any of the performances live either:

Iceland: Yayy!
Sweden: Duh! :-(
Turkey: Whew :-)
Ukraine: Duh!
Albania: Ok...
Latvia: Tonight's WTF HTH :-(
Croatia: OK...
Denmark: This one fell in the category of Bubbling Under, so glad to see that it made it to the finals. Now, will we witness some serious nordisk samarbete on Saturday night when, after so many years of one or more Scandinavian countries missing, all are together again on the same stage...? :-)
Georgia: Ok...
Portugal: Really?! HTH? Though good for Portugal. The competition does need more diversity: just say no to glambots :-)

Totally saddened by Switzerland's failure to pass; apparently he had forgotten how to sing :-(
And no Hungary either... Dave's intuition was correct... Too Disneyesque I guess...
No Bulgaria. Macedonia. Or Belorussia. Oh well...

De gustibus non disputandus est :-)
