The grades I give in these posts are :

A+ is the highest 'grade', followed by : A (straight A),
A-,B+,B,B-,and C which is for average.
These are my impressions of the performance on stage

Croatia - straight A ,
Ireland - C much better than a turkey!,
Latvia - C ,
Serbia - B interesting piece.
Poland - C ,
Norway - A- ,
Cyprus - B (loved the singer),
Slovakia - C ,
Denmark - C (great song),
Slovenia - B ,
Hungary - C ,
Azerbaijan - B- ,
Greece - C (not a good performance today),
Lithuania - A- ,
Moldova - C,
Albania - A+ ,
Ukraine - A+( unbelievable),
Estonia - A (loved the singer),
Netherlands - B- .
we all have our favorites,and i noticed a trend in my
favorites-each year, I like: Estonia,Cyprus,Portugal,and Turkey.
Only Cyprus didn't make the 2009 final.

My on/off switch for Depeche Mode went back to the 'off' position
with their latest album. I didn't like much of the music, or any songs.

I played the ESC 2009 playlist through 5-6 times now.And its pretty good.

This wil be a long post, with a simple sentence for many of my recent
downloads, albums and songs..

Mr. Meeble Never Trust the Chinese is good background music.
Nothing to make me increase the volume, but there is some soul to the effort.

and while looking through my media for Mr Meeble, I found a forgotten
download of Mr. Credo - Chudnaya Dolina from 2001. Good album.

Olya Orlova - Esli Ti Menya Zdyosh I haven't listened enough to know.
But i really like the remix version of Ya S Toboy in my playlist on site.

the Vera Brezhneva songs I have are all good...

I'm dying for some more anya Sedokova songs.in fact, she is better than
Vera ...

Schiller Senhsucht is very good music. It deserves a full post!
We'll get back to you on that one.

Ah, well. First post. But it gets most memorable albums up to date!

Alright. We had no problem with watching the program !
I wrote on paper my impressions of the performances,
shoot me but I used the only grading format that comes to mind..
Montenegro - A- really good performance. The guy tugging at her skirt
near the end was interesting. He was panting, it just looked cool.
Czech Republic - I wrote blah! . Did not like it at all.
Belgium - straight C Elvis impersonation. It wasn't bad.
Belarus - straight B the guy could sing well.
Sweden - straight C she could have performed better.weak.
Armenia - B+ I loved the song already, performance was just good.
Andorra - straight B better than sweden or Romania,too bad.
Switzerland - C but really a yuck.nice background scenes.
Turkey straight A bellydancers !
Israel straight B I can't remember why, but it was good.
Bulgaria - C
Iceland - A+ I really thought their performance went great.
Macedonia - straight B I liked them better than B&H .
Romania - straight C nothing bad, just personal choices.
Finland - B+ It sounds too western for me.and that creepy guy..
Portugal - straight A every year I like Portugals entry.
Malta - A+ that lady has an awesome voice the best singer of all.
Bosnia and Herzegovina straight C I was disappointed .
I kept crossing my fingers for Montenegro to get into the finals,
all the while shamefully thinking; where is Montenegro ?
- To sum up my experience: there were no 'bad' songs in this group.
