Mic Stands Shine A Light

The song that most of the usual places are upset about not qualifying is "Your Heart Belongs To Me" from the Netherlands. It was wonderfully performed, but one thing in particular stuck out. Look in the background...what do you see?

LIGHT-UP MIC STANDS

You may think, what does that have to do with anything? Take a trip back to 2006. What fan favorite that year had those objects?

And we all know how that turned out (as a side note, I only just now noticed that the backing dancers do the famous knee swing).

Therefore, it seems that brightly color microphone stands harm a song's chance of qualifying. Please comment if there are any examples that prove me wrong that I have forgotten about.

Seeing Finland and Norway make it through the first semi-final makes me more confident about Sweden and Portugal surviving the second, despite a worse ratio of western to eastern countries voting (8 to 14 in the second semi versus 9 to 12 in the first).

Soooo:

Ukraine
Turkey
Portugal
Sweden
Macedonia
Hungary
Bulgaria
Georgia
Belarus
Croatia

Latvia
Malta
Denmark
Iceland
Albania
Switzerland
Czech Republic
Cyprus
Lithuania

I wouldn't mind seeing either Latvia or Malta qualify (especially in place of Bulgaria, which seems quite overrated to me), but I don't think it will happen.
