Who will qualify from semi 1?

I don't ever want this semi to come, I don't want it, I don't want it

Too much for my sensitive soul

[MENTION=13275]Mii11[/MENTION] Not realistic prediction IMO. If Estonia and Hungary do not qualify I will be very sad but you will be my guest for a virtual beer.

I think Hungary will probably qualify. Keep in mind that Hungary was one of the first countries to perform in the random draw I made beforehand (they were performing just after San Marino, which was first). Also I was a bit biased because I am not a big fan of Freddie's song (my favorites in A Dal were Olah Gergo and Kallay Saunders Band). As for Estonia, I think it will get lost as there are many good songs in the semi. Having said that, I think this semi will be quite unpredictable so I think we will all be surprised by some qualifiers.

BTW I don't like beer, so could you give me a cup of tea instead (in case I was right)

Well my latest calculation (22.03.) got me this result. Just to explain my system: I'm using a formula of the voting patterns from the last 10 years and the Top 10 betting odds. Then I add up the ultra-heterogenous poll results from escnation.

01.

03.

07.
08.
09.
10.
11.
12.
13.
14.
15.
16.
17.
18.

Would be okay results. I'm already prepared for the moment when the best song of the edition fails and we won't see the joyful Douwe in the final again.

I will wait some weeks and when Eurovision is close enough I will make a prediction for the whole contest once again.

I really hope that will somehow fail to qualify. Their song doesn't deserve to get through just because it represents Greece.

I can see both and storming jury vote

[MENTION=13275]Mii11[/MENTION] I realized you do not love Freddie's song I thought that reading your previous comments. In A Dal I think Kállay's song was the best but he ruined their chances with live performances. He was weak in heat, better in semi but a complete disaster in the final. We wont know the truth about his failure - sabotage, system error, drug problems or he was simply nervous - but based on his former performances I did not cry after him. Gergő has excellent, strong voice, he could dance - so he is a perfect singer for Eurovision but that song was a complete mess and kitsch IMO. He is a gipsy guy, but that song was not gipsy music as a lot of foreigners thought. It was a weird mix of turkish, jew and gipsy music with other eastern elements. And finally sand flow from the ceiling :roll:. Hungary has no seaside or desert.... I hope somebody will write a good song for Gergő finally. (maybe we can hire Swedish guys to compose an ESC compatible song ) Freddie was the best choice, good voice, strong performance, good song and he can improve his perf for ESC. I am rooting for Jüri also, his Achilles heel is the dark, too pure staging.

The worst thing about is that we can only watch what happens ... I don't want to vote in shitty Semi 2

 

[Kairit]

I'll say and.... / / This semi-final is just, yikes. Anyone could make it besides . I'll make a new prediction when the rehearsals come around and then another one on the night. Usually I have gotten two wrong in the first semi and one wrong in the second one.

 

[joancamo]

If performs as today at the Moscow pre-party, they're giving their spot in the final to someone else, the live was not good today. The lead singer could not sing!

Maybe:

and just missing out

might be a bit tad optimistic, but please, is a safe qualifier for me. It is different enough to stand out in a good way.

You see that he's far from being the only one?

Also since this is a predictions thread and it's not going to reflect the own oppinions of the users here, I think you should hold back with personal comments. Especially when we don't predict your favourite to qualify

I didn't want to be harsh with him, sorry!

It might be for the , but I can't imagine them to qualify for the final as they did with the Common Linnets... :/
