10 countries passed to the final. Just like in the first semi final. These 10 countries are (in random order) :
1. Ukraine (No 18 to perform on Final)
2. Iceland (No 11 to perform on Final)
3. Turkey (No 12 to perform on Final)
4. Sweden (No 15 to perform on Final)
5. Portugal (No 13 to perform on Final)
6. Croatia (No 9 to perform on final)
7. Denmark (No 16 to perform on Final)
8. Latvia (No 14 to perform on Final)
9. Georgia (No 17 to perform on Final)
10. Albania (No 3 to perform on Final)
People seemed more exited for Ukraine. The truth is that Ani Lorak's stage performance was very good and so complete. The stage was so ful. On the other hand, Sweden, Ukraine's best adversary, was so empty on stage. Charlotte was very good both as a vocalist and a performer but during Melodifestivalen she had more energy and she was better.
Turkey passed (oh! What a surprise!). But a real surprise was the entrance of Croatia to the final. Denmark and Georgia had nice songs but really uninteresting. At least, not for the final. Iceland was very good on stage and the song was good too. Portugal finally entered the final and the good luck is that the entrance of it is with such a nice entry. FYR Macedonia, which always make it to the final, this year didn't pass. The song was good, at least not very different from the other FYR Macedonic entries. Though, the stage performace was really bad. Poor Bulgaria didn't make it to the final. Also poor for Czech Republic.
