ESC – part 2
Time to select the other half of the final field with the last 16 countries competing in the second semi-final.
We only watched the first hour – it was a bit too late with us getting up before 6 to get to work, but so far the songs haven’t really impressed us. Tonight the other Nordic countries participated, but unfortunately none of them went thru, unlike the first semi when all the participating Nordic countries
passed.
The final 10 countries going thru to the finale was; Albania, Cyprus, Estonia, Belgium, Austria, Lithuania, Poland, Australia, Armenia and Slovenia.
