Just to make clear: I said so many awful things about the Greek song during the last weeks and I definatly mean it.
I didn´t meant to hurt the lovely people from Greece and their beautiful country and if it wins, it´s of course ... ok. It is jaust a matter of personal taste. We´ll have greek food this evening, may that be a good sign.
Greetings to Greece from LENA-City!
All the best to everyone - still thinking of Sweden ...
... Europe, celebrate in fair play!
GOOD LUCK GEORGE 
GOOD LUCK GREECE

... I enjoyed the great LIVE! performances
of the SONGS representing Georgia (=SF2 winner),
Turkey 
, Cyprus and Romania from the SF2.
Ireland , too, but Niamh ... did not even try to reach that final high note
(which disappointed me!) because her overall performance
was very
good as well as the song and deserved to go through.

After watching BOTH, I thought Semifinal 2 was weaker than SF1, believe or not.
I really liked the Greek performance and I am convinced that ''OPA!!!'' is going to be in the TOP10!!! Everybody say ''OPA''!!!!
GOOD LUCK GREECE!!!!
Semi final 1 was very weak comparing to Sf2 ,i only liked Opa and the song of Belgium..
Yeah the crowd went crazy !!! I hope for the best for Greece!
Enjoy the second semifinal tonight ESC Lovers!
