Lovely Niamh got to the final (was it ever in doubt?), and so did the Welsh Cypriots, so it seems churlish to quibble about who else qualified, but I do feel sorry for the Dutch. This is the sixth year in a row they've been knocked out in the semis, and their bouncy, catchy number, complete with Wurlitzer - and written by Father Abraham of Smurfs fame, no less - was perfect for Eurovision. I wouldn't blame NOS now if they did a RAI and pulled out altogether.

And look at a couple who did go through. Israel - dull. Ukraine - only three chords, dirge, dirge and dirge.

Still, better for Niamh if she's up against some dire songs :)
