This is my semi 1 prediciton:
Country (Jury place/televoting place)
1. Sweden (2/2)
2. Armenia (3/1)
3. Hungary (1/4)
4. Ukraine (7/3)
5. Azerbaijan (4/8)
6. Belgium (9/6)
7. The Netherlands (7/11)
8. Iceland (14/5)
9. Russia (12/7)
10. Albania (6/14)
11. Montenegro (8/12)
12. Estonia (13/10)
13. Portugal (15/9)
14. San Marino (10/15)
15. Moldova (11/13)
16. Latvia (16/16)
So... I guess I have to explaine myself
I think Hungary will be the jury favourite and Armenia the televoting favourite, but with Sweden right behind both of them so they will win the semifinal just ahead of Armenia which placed behind Hungary and Sweden by the juries. The Netherlands will be the big surprise with qualifying due to good jury scores and surprisingly good televoting scores (even though outside top 10 if televoting would decide). Iceland and Albania will also pass the semi due to very high televoting (Iceland) and jury (Albania) scores. Russia will be far down but will barely make it on 9:th place. Montenegro, a fan favourite will miss out sadly with their best entry so far (just like San Marino last year). Moldova will miss the final for the first time in a couple of years.
I tried being not partial and I think I succeed quite well. What do you think? This is just a PREDICTION and not my opinion so don't judge my opinion, because this is not my opinions
Will predict the second semi-final in the norway forum!
