The thing is y’all can’t just take song/ performance into consideration. You need to think a lot about the countries biggest voting supporters. That’s a fact that plays an even bigger role in the SF than in the final. :al: for example still has good chances because they’ll get high points from countries like :gr: :it: :ch: anyway. That’s like a guaranteed ~25 points they’ll get anyway. Do counties like :sm: or :mt: have that? No. So the battle they are fighting is way harder.

There were major technical sound issues on the 2nd dress rehearsal (especially for Spain, Albania, Denmark, Belgium), so I'm wondering how everyone will sound tonight.
Spain had like 2 botched rehearsals, so I wish them all the best specifically. Nobody deserves to go through that (comes from our 2021 experience).

I know there's a separate thread for predictions but - "No Rules", remember? :p
So, my prediction of the NQs of this semi:

SAN MARINO (Sad, but true...)
ALBANIA (Sad, but also true...)
DENMARK (Very possible)
LATVIA (Quite possible, but I hope they qualify)
MALTA (Unfortunately, possible)
GEORGIA (It's good, but I'd prefer Czechia more to qualify)

Let's see! Have a good show, everyone! :love:

that was one hell of an opening! great job maltaa! It would be a very deserved qualifier (despite the song being rather average)

Malta didn't do anything for me, the stage performance was similar to what was presented in her NF. My grandma with which I watch this SF described it with a word "tragedia/tragedy"

Albania going for the pop sound - unfortunately, success in Eurovision in the 2020's doesn't go through mid-tempo pop.
