Faves: Serbia, Georgia, San Marino, Poland. Shoutout to Ireland, Romania, and Finland

OoOH! Ooh Spain! This sounds like a good 'un!
Gotta hand it to Sam, he does sound great live.
That rap bit in the German song sounds pretty intense - let's see if the rest of the song holds up!

Two faves went through, and two shoutouts. Sad to see Georgia, San Marino, and Ireland left behind :( Well, all that's left now is Saturday's event! Who will win? Let's see then!!
