Who will fail to qualify for the first time?

[Matt]

If Alcohol is free fails to qualify, you can expect me doing a Jimmy Jump in the Finals as a protest.

I do not want to live in a world where the entire audience is not jumping up and down and going deaf screaming BLAHBLAHBLAH ALCOHOL IS FREE, ALCOHOL IS FREE xsnooty

 

[FallenAngelII]

Nothing, these just were great songs and people loved them and Alcohol is free is awesome too

Why didn't you say anything about utter crap called "Aphrodisiac"?

"Aphrodisiac" was, in my opinion, just mindless pop. Nothing too offensive about it. Stereo Mike's parts in "Watch My Dance" were horrifically bad. "OPA!" did not deserve to be 2nd in its semi-final.

Jury will slaughter Greece
Televoters will slaughter Romania

If Greece makes it i wanna bite the jury in the face.

Get your teeth ready

I believe greece and ukraine are pretty safe. They have strong songs and solid performances and they will stand out. Russia could struggle as the competition in their line of song is fierce, but diaspora should still give it a push. Romania is terrible, but being last in the semi and different from everything else will ensure them to remain in people's minds.

I think Azerbaijan might be the one to fail. The song is very ordinary and farid, despite his good looks, is not a very good singer.

Poll misses one possibility though, shocking as it would be: none of them will qualify

Why would the juries not slaughter Romania as well?

I wonder, how can you guys predict jury voting? We have a hint of what viewers may like from opinion polls, from youtube popularity, etc., but juries are a mystery to me. I mean, those are not the same people every year, are they?

Just like all the other Azeri entries and yet, all of them finished top 10 and one even won

No. Just vote for all options bar the last one.

Because Cezar has an amazing W-w-woice I guess.

There is a certain deal of randomness in the game depending on of whom the 'jury' is composed but we also know clear patterns for what they tend to (dis)like from previous years.

Romania, I think

Jury placed last Georgian entry 9TH (horrible)
And i find some similarities to the Romanian song

I disagree. I was never a fan of any of the Azeri's entries, although I sort of liked Drip Drop, but I can understand their appeal for a large majority. This effort is clearly weaker. Maybe not weaker enough not to qualify though, I grant you that. Maybe it will qualify but not be top 10 then...

 

[hijirio]

All of them will qualify.
Yes, , too.
Haters can brace themselves, they can have a toilet break during the final.

 

[FilipFromSweden]

Kind of fun, Azerbaijan sends their worst song ever and wins..

In Soviet Russia/Bizarro World maybe.

In what alternate universe is Georgia 2012 ("I'm a Joker") in any way similar to Romania 2013 ("It's My Life")?

 

[Terence]

Maybe the use of male falsetto/high-pitched voices, especially in the final bridge?

He sings, like, 3 notes in falsetto, not an entire chorus. If that your basis for comparing the two, we can just assume every single electronic dance entry will do well from now on, seeing as how Sweden won last year with "Euphoria".
