Now let's see what countries perfomed the second semi-final.
1) Latvia. Justs- "Heartbeat".
Daaaamn !!! This is incredibly fucking amazing. When I heard that song at first time, it drove me crazy. I love that electrical sound in this song. This is fantastic. Goood. By the way the author of this song is Aminata who perfomed in "Eurovision 2015" at last year and ended at 19th place. I even was sure that Justs will at the finals and he did it. He passed to the final. Thank you Aminata and Justs for your amazing work. I give strong 10 from 10th

2) Poland: Michal Szpak- "Colour of Your Life."
Well, I don t know what to say. Again this feeling that don t like but at the same time i like. Michal sang not bad. My mum was confused that he was in make-up. Althought i didn t see that he was the make-up but this song didn t touch me. I give 6 from 10th

3) Switzerland-Rykka-"Last Of Our Kind. "
No, That's for me. Nothing interesting I didn t find at this song. Her image was like at the clown. She had blue hair. Sorry That's not for me. I give 4 from 10th

5) Belarus. IVAN-"Help You Fly".
Very fantastic rock song. Thank God that he didn t perfome naked with wolf as he wanted breading. When i saw the beginning of this perfomance i was scared because at the beginning he was naked and with wolf. "Oh my God!! He perfome naked??" But it was just screen projection. But sadly that this song didn t pass to the finals. Belarus didn t pass to the finals even at the last year. And now again. But i like this song. I give 8 from 10th

6) Serbia. Sanja Vucic-"Goodbye (Shelter)".
Good song. Sanja sang very strong and wonderful. Althought Bojana was the best, Sanja is not bad too, but Bojana was really best. I give 7 from 10th

7) Ireland. Nicky Byrne-"Sunlight."
No, no, and one more time no. I don t like it. I even didn t like "Westlife". I found that this song is boring. Nothing catching. Just simple song. I give 4 from 10th

8) Macedonia. Kaliopi- "Dona".
All was good until at the end of the song Kaliopi sang terrible. That made me shiver. She destroyed this song by this terrible end. No, the single version was more beast than perfomance. Sorry Kaliopi. By the way, Kaliopi perfomed in "Eurovision 2012" in Baku with the song "Crno Belo" where she ended in 12th place. But at this time she didn t pass to the finals. I could give 7 from 10 but because of terrible end i gave 5 from the 10th

9) Lithuania. Donny Montell-"I've Been Waiting For This Night."
Not bad song. Very catching chorus. Donny perfomed in "Eurovision 2012" in Baku with the song "Love Is Blind" where he ended at 14th place. He even recorded this song in russian with title "Nam Lubov Dana". Well, what can i say something more? Not bad, not bad. I give 8 from 10th

10) Australia. Dami Im-"Sound of Silence".
This is wonderful song. I really really love it. Dami sang very strong and beautiful. Australia perfome the Eurovision at the second time. The first perfomance Australia did in last year in Vienna Austria, when at the final Guy Sebastian perfomed with the song "Tonight Again". This was amazing i liked it. And now Dami Im perfomed from Australia. Very good. I was sure that Australia will at the finals. And yes. Australia passed to the final. I give 10 from 10th

11) Slovenia. Manuella- "Blue And Red."
Good, very good mix with pop and country. I thought that there will change clothes like the official video but it didn t happen. Sadly. Maybe she could pass to the final, but sadly no. The previous artists who perfomed at last year were more great. But at this song i found a little more cathing melody. I give 6 from 10th

12) Bulgaria. Poli Genova-"If Love Was A Crime."
Super fantastic song withvery catching melody and amazing Bulgarian chorus:" O dai mne lubovta, dai mne lubovta". Super, amazing incredible. I heard that Bulgaria was at the final only one time, and Poli did it. Bulgaria passed to the final at the second time. Poli by the way perfomed in "Eurovision 2011" from Bulgaria in Dusseldorf Germany with the song "Na Inat" but she couldn t to pass to the final. But at this time she did it. Poli-you are amazing and gorgeuos. I give you my strong 10 from 10.

13)Denmark. "Lighthouse X"-"Soldiers Of Love".
No, no, no. Sorry guys you are not for me. This is boring very very boring number. I didn t see nothing catching that could interest me. No, no, the danish copy of "One Direction". I give 3 from 10. Sorry.

14)Ukraine. Jamala-"1944".
This song made me cry. I can t hold tears when i listen this song. Jamala sang so strong, so emotional, you can feel it. This is story of her grandgrandma, who was deportated from Crimea at the Second World War. This is very... i don t know... it s really really strong and emotional. I give strong 10 from 10.

15)Norway. Agnete Johnsen-"Ice Breaker".
Good song if not those suddenly changes of tempo. At start quickly but at the chorus it slow. Very strange. Sadly that she didn t pass to the final. Even my mum liked her. I heard that she didn t pass to the final because she wasnt on the opening red carpet for opening Eurovision and on press conference. But it wasn t her fail that she had a cold. That s unhonestly. I give 7 from 10.

16)Georgia. Nika Kocharov and Young Georgian Lolitaz-"Midnight Gold.
Well, not bad song. I thought if Romania wasn t disqualified, then Georgia didn t pass to the final, but sound of this song very incredible. I like the middle of the song. I don t know what to say more. But i really know that Romania could be at the final instead of Georgia. I give 8 from 10.
