Eurovision 2012: Light your fire!

Today the semifinal allocation draw took place in Baku and now we know the slogan, theme art, the venue and the countries that are going to participate in the Semifinal 1 & 2.

Today was an important day for Eurovision 2012, a lot of news and a lot of work to do.

The Crystal Hall arena was approved as the Eurovision 2012 venue.
 
Light your fire!
Well i think we all expected the word fire to be in the slogan but i really like it and the theme art looks very good.

Now i wonder how 5 ex-yugo countries are in one semifinal, the pots are not made to avoid that?

There were some guest artists in the allocation draw, Aysel and Safura with playback and Nikki singing live whyy? it sounded worse than in may but Eldar sounded good. Alexander Rybak and Lena were the best of the night without a doubt. They are so charismatic, i love them.

I just love him.

Lena was fantastic.

After all this, i have to say that there are a lot of things to do but i like what we got right so i will light my fire and wish good luck to Azerbaijan and i hope we get a great show in may.
