Since 2004 Eurovision had an additional qualifying round, with 2 semi-finals being introduced from 2008. We all love the quirks of Euro voting but we can only wonder at what could have happened had some of our favourites managed to get past the first hurdle.
We'll never know, but they're not forgotten by us!
Andorra - Gisela - "Casanova"
Surely Gisela deserved a chance at the final?
Malta - Morena - "Vodka"
Would have been great to see Morena giving it her best in the final.
Belgium - Kate Ryan - "Je T'Adore"
Would have been a worthy finalist. Could Kate have rocked Lordi's world?
Iceland - Sylvia Night - "Congratulations"
Er, umm, quirky, odd, kinda daft (and was probably never going to win), but I know you're smiling and you won't get that tune out of your head for ages (whether you want to or not)! Utter madness and the reason we love Eurovision!

Both semifinals now completed!
As ever there's been some interesting results, but we now have our Eurovision Finalists for 2010!

We've waited a full year - now Oslo gets ready to party with the first Semifinal for the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest. Let the party begin!
