Having watched each of the performing artists, I now have 15 minutes to compile my review of them (well most of them, I didn’t make notes for some of them: take that as you will)
Bosnia & Herzegovina
A  typical entry from the Bosnians. Quirky. Happy. Truly Euro-visual 🙂
Denmark
Jedward must be pleased to see that their hair style has taken fruit over on the continent!
A slightly mellow tone from Denmark, not what I have come to expect.
Lithuania
An elegant dress ruined by the excess frill on the shoulders.
Sign language may have been an emotional touch in Glee, however it didn’t have the same effect here.
Hungary
A Ulrika-GaGa hybrid was the first thing to come to mind. I must admit how thankful I was that the dress wasn’t shorter, lest we’d have seen her Chamber of Secrets (hopefully Basilisk free, although not entirely sure).
Overall I feel this song must be a hommage to the victims of any nuclear reactor meltdown/explosion ever, what with the gentleman in the radioactive suit, and the glowstick accentuation on their wear. Why was his crotch glowing exactly?
Ireland
No comment. No need.
Sweden
Googoo Dolls meats Michael Jackson. Couldn’t stop singing along… shame it was the lyrics to the more lyrical/memorable/better Wicked song of the same title.
Evidently the choreographer didn’t take into account the fact that the gentleman is right handed, shown by the constant switching to his left hand to dance, then back to the more comfortable right-handed pose for singing.
Estonia
Loved her dress! With the exception of the curtain pull accents. It was so typically Eastern European.
Greece
It’s got nothing on Sakis and his huge stapler in 2009.
Russia
Phwoar! “Do you feel my heart beat Europe?!”
Arousing doesn’t cut it for that man… A Grease’s T-Birds look, he was definitely winking at me… I liked it 😉
France
No. No to Corsican.
Italy
The piano player’s trousers were too short.
Switzerland
Ukulele? Definitely got my vote, never mind the perfect dress she was sporting. The neckline was brilliantly low yet modest at the same time!
UK
Needless to say, I wasn’t expecting THAT! I thought the UKs joke entry was a few years ago with Scooch!
Moldova
Witch Doctor meets Devo! Crack that whip!
Germany
I had been hoping for something different from Satellite 😦
Also, the silver morph suits reminded me of Verka Seduchka in 2007
Romania
LOVED THE OUTFIT and the piano riff at the beginning was catchy.
Austria
Reminded me of ‘Hero’… I don’t like that song either.
Azerbaijan
Something quite serene and beautiful about this song. It’s not a potential winner, but I’l probably download it 🙂
Slovenia
ZENA WARRIOR PRINCESS with that metal bra o.O
First Edna (The Apprentice) now Slovenia? (<< Gloves reference)
Iceland
Take That tribute band, complete with Robbie pout.
Spain
A true europop song! What one expects of Eurovision!! LOVED IT!
Serbia
Brilliant!!
