Semi 1: whom do you plan on voting for ?

[Seok-jin]

Cypruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus

 

[tkris]

Bad spots for Slovenia , Russia , Cyprus , Belgium , Croatia and Norway . They could really use your votes now. Cyprus is less certain now.

Ukraine , Malta and Ireland given the best spots possible for them .

Australia and Israel , decent .

I never voted for any entry and I´m not planning to do so this year. I just wanna sit in front of the TV and enjoy the show.

Lol , less stress , more excitement I suppose

 

[hzalfa]

So far I think I will vote for Belgium , Slovenia and Malta . In Italy we can only vote 5 times, so I plan on giving 1 vote each to Belgium and Slovenia and 2 votes to Malta. As for the last vote, I will decide after the performances, but Croatia is a good candidate.

 

[katapult]

Probably Lithuania and Malta, although I'm almost sure both will qualify anyway (same with Azerbaijan, Russia and Cyprus, I believe).
Further candidates on my radar to vote for, depending on the overall impression of their performances: Belgium, Ukraine, Ireland, Romania.

 

[VikingTiger]

Malta, Cyprus - and Croatia! Probably I will send more than only 1 vote for the Albina.

What do you think of the running order for Cyprus and Croatia? I feel they've not been lucky and especially Croatia hasn't done well in Televote in recent years (I know the songs weren't too great )

We are gonna exchange votes like

 

[Shadowfuxcs]

I will be voting in this semi since I have a Dutch number. I will mainly vote for Ukraine and probably for Belgium.

Same over here with Tix, and not only with Fallen Angel. Vibin' with his whole discography, all day, every day

 

[Carlkva]

Malta, Sweden, Russia, Ukraine and Australia

 

[tkris]

These are the 10 countries currently predicted to qualify :

qualifying chance
1		Malta	91%
2		Sweden	87%
3		Cyprus	86%
4		Lithuania	82%
5		Azerbaijan	74%
6		Romania	73%
7		Ukraine	73%
8		Russia	72%
9		Norway	71%
10		Croatia	64%

 

[tkris]

On 11th we have Belgium with 58% And 12th Israel with 53 % So even these two are more likely to qualify than not qualify That means Ireland , Australia , Slovenia and North Macedonia would miss out . Do you agree ?

 

[Jopi]

I can see Slovenia qualifying.. The other 3 are mostly out.

But all in all, it's pretty expected.

I got a question . How come the other Balkan/Former Yugoslavia nation's don't give Slovenia much love ?

 

[Jopi]

My only guess is that the song isn't really accessible or it's not tipical / popular r.n. music in Balkans...
It's more a song 'for Europe' than something that can be heard in Balkan area.

I didn't mean for this specific song . I was asking in general. I see that other Balkan nations will get 8,10 , 12 points from wach other but Slovenia barely gets 4/5/ points in Televote .

 

[Jopi]

Yeah.. Probably it's the same for every song.. And Slovenias are more tuned to Austria and central Europe countries haha...
Also, I guess it also maybe due to Slovenian language being a tiny bit different than Serbian/Croatia/Bosnian/Montenegrian which are all basically the same, so it's the sameish music market...
