- Macedonia kicked out in favor of Finland and Croatia for Serviais understandable even if Finland ended up last.
- Yes Czechia nil points again, ouch. How much more beating before they bow out?
- And Sweden must have been robbed by the jurys as they were 4th in their semi, wonder why?

I think peculiarly Czechia is going to hold out for a few more contests, before giving up the ghost.

Just wait until they get into the same semi with Slovakia. (And if Austria re-enters...oy).

The Semis were again really unbalanced in terms of quality (so to speak). Semi 1, again, had a few good songs and a lot of ones that got in by just being not bad. Semi 2 on the other hand was a blood bath.
