Who just missed out?

[GermanBango]

Same procedure as every year: Who do you think finished 11th in the Semi?
Bonus: Who only just made it through?

 

[Skrzeczk]

just missed it: Australia (I guess Croatia was overshadowed by Cyprus and Israel, but maybe all female uptempo were in top11 xd, Romania and Ireland sounded very bad at Semi-Final even worse than I expected so they both can be 15th and 16th).
just made it through: Israel (I can't see this song and performance doing well, eventually it could be Azerbaijan or someone else.)

But I never was good in guessign who just missed it or made it through.

Just missed really will be imo

Just made it probably:

 

[LoveHate]

Just missed out
Just made it (hard to pick one here)

This. But Belgium making it was probably the biggest WTF-moment for me. Not that I think it was worse than Sweden/Norway, but a bigger surprise.

I think that there is no doubt that Croatia almost made it. Just made it - I think Israel for sure, still not sure how it went through especially after what is happening in Gaza... Others qualified quite comfortably I think... I'd like to think Norway barely made it but many people love it so yeah, I personally hate it...

Romania may have been close as well, I think it was so different from anyone else's packages...

Macedonia probably finished 16th, Australia 15th, Slovenia 14th and Ireland 13th...

and it's pretty safe to say Romania in 12th and Croatia in 11th since those were actually borderline, the other 4 countries that missed out were quite obvious though I wished that Ireland would qualify...

Belgium qualified easily imo, it's pure class and it appealed to both the juries and the televote I think. On the eurovision article on RTV (Slovenia broadcaster) you can see in the comments that many people loved Belgium + they had the Netherlands and Germany in the semi..

I think Australia was actually way behind 11th place I just don't see it how people could connect with that song (I really like it tho) and she performed like a deer in the headlights.

I think the non-qualifiers look like this:

11- Australia
12- Slovenia
13- Croatia
14- North Macedonia
15- Romania
16- Ireland.

There's a public for Slovenia and North Macedonia, and being kind of 'rare' entries in this semi they might have done better than people think (Slovenia still doing better than North Macedonia) Australia looked unique and interesting with some mweh points (the deer in the headlight critique, but hey, finale 4th place Blanche also looked like that). Croatia is honestly quite unoriginal, very middle-of-the-road, basic dare I say and likely did NOT just miss out. More in the middle qualifiers wise. Just being...A song. That exists.

And then there are Romania and Ireland whose performances were simply bad, with Ireland being the worst (the vocals and the kinda-childish-but-also-cool staging, okay, but ruining the illusion at the end and letting her run around on an empty stage but her previous decor that is not aesthetically pleasing from far away? Lol no)

Latvia because it was such a trainwreck people voted for it.

... Not being completely serious there but it wouldn't surprise me if had happened somewhere within the UK televote, actually.

I'd say Denmark was 11th.

Austria wouldn't surprise me due to the jury vote. Estonia has a chance.

 

[Citelis]

Kinda bold prediction but:

Just missed out: Austria
Just made it through: Greece

 

[burrito]

10th
11th - although it could easily be too, there is a small margin between them, one buried by televote and the second one by juries

 

[Sabrewulf238]

10th
11th

This makes me sad to look at.

Probably true though. I could see the juries bumping Austria into 11th though maybe.

Agreed. if i really had to narrow it down, i'd chose Norway.

From the second Semi

10.
11.

Yeah, I put Austria because I think juries hurt Denmark more than televoters hurt Austria. But I think these two are the only options here. (maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe Estonia was helped by old ladies but nah)
