Maybe with that influence we will magically perform last in the second-half

She managed to keep her seat on the Executive Commission of EBU for 3 consecutive mandates.

Wasn't she part of the commission when Maro performed #3 and Mimicat #2 in the final?

Yep, but the person in charge of making the RO was a Dutch man.
Now it is Bjorkman. Last year, it went really well. Second to last in the semifinal and 18 in the final.

I do not know. Either Portugal or Slovenia will get a late position in the first half. It is pretty obvious "Deslocado" has more chances to get through, but we never know... People think they will "push the Italian and Swiss ballads to the end" to simulate the scenario, but it is pretty dull.
From my perspective, wherever Ukraine will be placed, we will know our fate. Both are bands, pretty Beatles styles, not very appreciated by the fandom...

Depending on the others, it should be #6/#7 because Deslocado is a great song to set the mood for the loud 2nd half. However, I am feeling a #3

I think show runners will find Portugal and Slovenia relatively interchangeable in terms of the 2nd half and don't forget Switzerland and Italy can be used to break the 2nd half up.

Carla Bugalhoh is treating well her friends, huh...

 

[joao]

Our running order is much better than Ukraine, that’s for sure.

But I doubt Ukraine will fail to qualify.

Ukraine is a lock.
Some people are so sure about Norway and Belgium... I am not... Especially when you have the same kind of songs in the same semifinal...

 

[joao]

Norway and Belgium next together surprised me a lot. I believe one of them will fail. Cyprus is a lock 100%. They are closing the semi after Croatia. They must have a hell of a staging.

Right after the biggest phenomenon of the year...it's like Hera Bjork and her wine mom anthem coming after Baby Lasagna. Here's my hope we won't be last.

Never!

Switzerland will make sure we get 14th

There is no way... With Switzerland, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands and Row voting, it is unlikely to receive less than 30-35p. Why are you so negative? The song is the biggest internal hit in years for us. Diaspora will be awake at least.

We're not finishing last omg. Can yall stop being this negative?! We have several allies in the Semi, including Spain and Switzerland.

Coming after Sweden isn't the best outcome but us not performing in the first three slots is already a victory. Also, coming up with a decent running order for this semi was always going to be a struggle anyway.

Internal hit doesn't reflect on international votes. I wouldn't count on The Netherlands.

If we qualify it will be borderline. I don't see people connecting. I wish I was wrong and I would love to have a 5th qualify in a row, but I highly doubt it will happen.

Poland, Ukraine, Sweden, San Marino, Albania, Cyprus are 100% in. It's 6 out of 10.

Estonia and Norway or Belgium will probably qualify as well. 8 out of 10

The Netherlands could flop but considering the reception that is getting we could include it as well. 9 out of 10.

So who get's the last spot?

Iceland, Slovenia, Portugal, Azerbaijan or Croatia.

Slovenia is the only ballad, ballad, so it could actually make it. Iceland is fun so they could make it out as the 10th qualifier.

And there's also a big issue. "Deslocado" recap is not memorable enough. So I highly doubt we could qualify. Hope I'm wrong, but oh well... Let's wait for the rehearsals and staging. Everything could change.

The Netherlands televote always gives us points in the semis. The last time they didn't was 2006 and that was quite possibly the worst song and performance we ever had at Eurovision.

I really hope we qualify. I enjoy eurovision 100% more when I know we have a big shot at qualifying and being graced by the jury at least. So I hope I'm wrong.

Well, I wasn't that wrong about what place this should receive on the RO. I do think it makes sense and I do think number 7 after Sweden and before Norway is not that bad. In my opinion, with a nice staging that can memorize TV viewers, we could sail through to the grand final. Let's wait for the rehearsal week so I can have a better opinion, but for now, my hopes are a little bit higher with the number 7

 

[njdevils94]

Obviously great for NAPA going the latest in the first half they possibly could've but also a bit of breathing room before one of its competitors doesn't hurt either.

 

[Decayingbooks]

People keep saying that Napa with a great staging will qualify with ease, but what would that staging look like?
Let's say, you, the person reading this, where hired to conceptualize and plan the staging of "Deslocado".
The budged is small, so you can't have more people nor props on stage. Fireworks are also out of the question, but you can do whatever you want with the led walls, lights and on-screen effects. Also keep in mind the unusual shape of the stage.
What would you do?

Using the stage features like every year. They should take advantage of that square arc in the middle of the arena and/or the holograms close the led wall. As Saudade Saudade, this song needs to create a real and alternative feeling to the rest...
And well, Sacha Jean Baptiste is there to help with anything they need.
