Then again the odds were relatively bad in regards to semi 1 qualifiers. Only got 8/10 right.

True, but the Odds werent as onesided as in Semi2.

are there a lot of people in the arena? I hear that some got stuck on the train from Copenhagen because of some protesters/accident

According to the Odds its the most onesided Semi in History probably.
I think out of the Big10, only could be in Danger here.

Last year's SF1 was a stock since it was clear that Dion and Mia couldn't sing, and they were soon after replaced by Remo.
And SF2 had only one entry that surprisingly NQ (Georgia) in favour of Albania that was out of the odds' top 10.
Last year was predictable as hell, I looked like a magician because I told everyone around me what they should have bet (getting most right)

Yeah, there are empty places but not very much

Such a shame Besa has this song... she is such a strong vocalist, can sing without backing track.. in singing contest it could be top 3

Outfit #3 looks great, imo.

A pity her she can't perfrom song #3...
