These are pretty safe:

:at: :rs: :ua:

Then the following have enough fanbase to go through:

:bg: :il: :lv:

And juding by fan polls, rehearsal reviews and other factors like diaspora etc:

:be: (draw really helps, especially coming after two 'weak' songs)
:pl: (diaspora + great vocals)
:lt: (They have a good qualification rate and despite negative rehearsal comments, I do think they will nail it again)

The last one is any guess among a few countries. Georgia could be too alternative, Slovenia is too safe, Norway has the draw in their favour but a weird song, Macedonia will rely on a couple of Balkan votes + a capable vocalist...
Ireland and Denmark will cancel each other out... Switzerland just won't be remembered...

I'd say the last qualifier could be :by: or :no: - I'll play it safe and say :no:

This thread has half the posts of semi 1, I wonder why that is xD
For now I predict:
:lv: :pl: :rs: :lt: :au: :bg: :ua: :no: :be: :dk:

Actually, even after the rehearsals, I'm not changing my prediction. This is my final prediction since I'll be busy in the next 24 hours.

I don't know how to make flags and all this fancy stuff, but I agree with these picks.

Though I think Belgium might find some trouble. As for Norway, Agnete will need to nail the performance because it's gonna be close.

Here is my final list for tonight :

Latvia
Israel
Serbia
Lithuania
Australia
Bulgaria
Denmark
Ukraine
Norway
Belgium

Will we have an Iceland level shock tonight? Possibly Latvia. Nothing else would be big enough a shock.

:ua::rs::pl::no::mk::lt::lv::ge::bg::au:

Super safe: :ua::rs::au:

Looking good: :pl::no::lv::bg:

Borderline: :mk::ge::lt::il::by::be:

Will be difficult for: :ie::sl::al::ch::dk:


Perhaps too much heart in this prediction and not enough gut... but I don't carexheart I believe Macedonia and Georgia both have a very good chance tonight so i'll predict them over Israel and Belgium, who perhaps look more likely qualifiers. I actually think Lithuania could miss out. I might regret having them down over Israelxthink

My crystal ball says that these countries from semi2 will qualify for the final:
(in order of appearance; countries in bold letters are safe for me)

Latvia (unfortunately)
Poland
Israel
Serbia
Macedonia (unsafe)
Australia (distance Stockholm-Canberra: about 15600 km, but both seem to lie in Europe)
Bulgaria
Ukraine
Norway
Belgium

Not sure about Macedonia.
A little bit worried about Norway and Belgium.

Got 7 out of ten last semi, which was nasty. Not sure i can do better now:

Safe, as i see them:
Ukraine
Australia
Serbia
Latvia
Israel Hoping for no shock here....
Belgium.

Georgia I see as likely

Macedonia less likely, but still a possibility as it stands out from everything else

Very tricky now so I'm going wild with
Slovenia and
Ireland because it is very catchy in a 90s kind of way and some people might (still) like that.

Just missing out
Bulgaria (mild shock non qualifier)
Poland
Lithuania

Norway and
Denmark after that and finlly the no hopers:

Belarus
Albania and
Switzerland

Very difficult to call, really.

Ukraine
Serbia

Latvia
Norway
Belgium
Lithuania
Poland
Belarus
Israel

This is a very pessimistic prediction since I really want to see Georgia and Macedonia in the final.
