Who will qualify from Semifinal 1 2025?

[Ana Raquel]

I think the Azeri song deserves to qualify. It's 5th in my rankings in this SF.
I don't think the support is there for it, but I haven't written it off entirely, if they deliver a really fun nice performance.

Agree that Klemen could pull a shock Q, but at whose expense? That is the question I'm struggling with. I'm now convinced Belgium is safe and I also feel confident San Marino is qualifying despite many people thinking it won't.

Yes, this is my exact problem! Even though I placed 10th, I don't know if it would be the eliminated one in this scenario. Maybe Cyprus? He might not excel vocally or something. We can make a case for Norway too but I think Lighter, despite generic, is more authentic? Like, you can see that this is the kind of stuff Kyle likes to do. And as much as I like Shh, it is very calculated.

I think will do better than fans expect - I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up 11th a few points short from making it circa Electric Fields last year.

Exactly this...who could be the shock NQ here?

Poland has a habit of messing up the staging and has a bad slot, but I think Justyna is gonna deliver something professional enough to qualify.
Norway is indeed generic...this sort of thing normally qualifies, though.
I remain convinced that San Marino will qualify.
