Life Gets In The Way reports that as predicted by many blogs [1], both Armenia and Azerbaijan have made it through to the 24 May final of the Eurovision Song Contest in Belgrade, Serbia. The blog says that the vocal range of the Azerbaijani act was amazing [2] and their performance show-stopping. However, the blog agrees with Unzipped: Gay Armenia which says that the vocals from Armenia's entry were disappointing [3]. Meanwhile, my The Caucasus Knot wonders how geopolitics manifested itself [4] during voting given the effective state of war that exists between the two countries. Regardless, the countdown to Saturday's final [5] in the international music competition continues.
