Bravo Greece you are every year have powerful songs!!!!
Albania
Finally we see more vivid lights. I don't like the backing singer's outfits kind of. They don't really fit a modern-sounding song like this, but who cares. Juliana's outfit is also a bit bad and too dark for a dark stage. I wonder if these are the final outfits. I still think the violinist shouldn't be there and that they're all standing a bit too still for an up-tempo song.
Greece
I don't like the lights for this performance - too small/little lights in the back, too much distance between them makes it look even more empty and dark. Ugly white outfits still. I'm assuming those aren't the final ones. He isn't singing so good on the rehearsals, kinda disappointing. Nice son though.
Portugal
Beautiful lights now and nice staging, nice dresses, but I hate the song and her voice no matter how lush it looks.
FYR Macedonia
Like the song, but now they cheapened this performance too, ugh... They even spread their legs directly to the camera several times, disgusting and cheap. Is this promoting sex trafficking or what? It was a nice song, but they ruined the performance - no special lighting, rap, slutty dancers... Buh-bye Macedonia! Bosnia should take your place to the final.
OMG LINA!! 
Now you have new explanation why I don't like this entry! hahahahaha! 
No Lina nobody from Greece haven't refused me! GOSH! it's so silly to write that! hahahah But it was funny I admit!
I didn't have any relation with nobody from Greece or Cyprus even I have been there numerous times (in Greece), in Cyprus only once tho!
" I also think like Knut that Greece is worse and worse becuse i a man from Greece refuse me and since then i dont like Greece , Greeks and theyr friends Cyprus and Armenia songs " @Marko say it like that dont be shame ...............LOL.. this is the pure trouth !
Albania and Greece - I don't like as always, I also think like Knut that Greece is worse and worse! 
Portugal - soooo cute and nice, I like the dress and I will vote her in the semi!
Macedonia - I like a lot dress rehearsal, I think contrast between dancers and Gjoko is cool, rapper is very bad tho, i wish they exchange him..really bad! 
I didn't like Greece when I first heard it but now I love it! It's so nice to hear Greek again and the staging is excellent.
Albania - wow, what a voice!
FYROM has disappointed me......they suppose to sing a rock ballad and they brought 3 sluts on stage??????????????????????
My personal ranking is currently:
Greece - No.6 (good song and performance)
Macedonia - No.7 (good song and voice, but tasteless choreography)
Albania - No. 15 (good song and voice)
Portugal - No.38 (I don't like the song and the voice isn't my cup of tea, sorry)
The albanian entry is a combination of Wominaiser and It raining man.Clear plagiatisam
There are some haters here, or is it my idea ?
Ok, you don't like the song (OPA) but don't say bad things!
OPA has the best choreography in this contest. It is not the best song, but we, Greeks have passion and we will say out loud in Oslo : OPA! A hope, happy word!!! Go Greece
Filipa needs to be just be carefull when she is going to the high notes, there' is a problem. Albania's people seems not to read this comments because they kept the guy with the violin, and I think they needed to dress more for a disco show. Macedonia vocals good but the coreography is not relate it to the song. Greece with a catchy song but ...
Greece and Iceland will be top 3. Portugal's entry is boring. She has an amazing voice but it's a song contest. Catarina should have been in Oslo!
There is no doubt that Portugal has the best voice
What???
GREECE THE BEST ENTRY!!
HAS THE BEST PERFORMANCE ON THE STAGE THIS YEAR!
AND 4 SURE TOP 10 IN THE FINAL OF COURSE!
WELL DONE GREECE!
There is no doubt that Portugal has the best voice
Worst entry, Greece!
BRAVO GREECE 
Christophe
No!I don't think so and honestly i can't think of any song matching the UK this year..
Well yeah you're probably right... but in the final fight with UK for last position....
Yes i think this deserves to be in the final.It's not my favorite song but i can't think of 10 better performances in the first semi...
So Dimitris calling,
Do you think Greece deserves to go to the final with this "song" (I'd rather call it screeming) ?
Pity that Greece will go to the final UNDESERVED !
...said God!Greece will only go to the final IF people and juries vote for the song!Otherwise, they won't be in the final.Thus,they will qualify only if they deserve too...
Knut Viking
Giorgos Alkaios is an experienced and successful
singer, songwriter and recording artist.
For him, the ESC is a just a gig for him ...
as if it were another one of his LIVE! concerts.
He has a substantial career and it will continue
after the ESC.
And even if it may not be the best song he has
ever written, at least, it is NOT boring!!!!!!
The ESC is a TV entertainment show and Greece delivers
GReat SHOWS year after year ...
This year, will be no exception.
It is not only about winning.
OPA is a fun, MOTIVATIONAL, catchy song
and it is also ...what is the word I am looking for?
Oh, yes --- ORIGINAL. 
Don't worry, I think you will manage to ..."find" what seems to be
"lacking" in this ...ENERGETIC Greek-style performance,
even though he did not give it 100% (it is a rehearsal).
Let us "Share the moment"
Everybody say ... OPA !!!
This is Greece worst entry ever... the guy can't sing, can't move... the best thing are the see thru pants of the dancers.... Pity that Greece will go to the final UNDESERVED !
