Eurovision. Semifinal 1. 08.05.2018.

Hello everybody. Here i came in order to write about my impressions of first semifinal of eurovision which was in Lissabon, Portugal. You all know that Portugal won eurovision song contest 2017, which was in Kiev. And the winnr was jazz singer Salvador Sobral with his song "Amar Pelos Dois", which i didn t like. I wanted that Robin Bengtsson won or Blanche. Well ok, let s see who perfomed in the first semifinal.


But at start i want to tell about the hosts. All four hosts is women. Silvia Alberto-television presenter and actress, Daniela Ruah-american-portugese actress, Catarina Furtado, television presenter and actress and Filomena Cautela-television presenter and actress.

 
So, ok, let s start.

1) Azerbaijan. Aisel-X My Heart.

 
 
Very good song and catching melody. Sadly that it didn t pass to the final. Azerbaijan must be in final instead of Estonia. I give 8 points from 10.
