That's literally my anti-top this year :D It's always interesting to observe the wide range of tastes during the contest. Regardless of preferenes, this year was quite nice in regards of number of entries that I generally liked or liked quite much. But regarding overall organisation and maintenance, the only good thing Italy provided was digital arts/graphic designs of the show. Even the postcards were poor and boring :( The best host among the latest was Israel which made it all be fun except for the cringe Madonna's performances
Dragging back to the music itself, I also liked the vibe Romania had on stage, the pleasant voice of the Swiss guy (I find 0 televoting points unfair), the general staging of Australia, the lights of Greek performance, and the softness of Icelandic song. It was sad to see Israel (among some others) not to get qualified because he can actually sing good.
You also mentioned Ireland which, I believe, was also robbed by not to get into the Final.
