Think Vs. Want to be on final

[Quent91]

and must not qualify.

But I think they will....

 

[lucian-crusher]

Depends on taste! IMO the Greek entry this year is one of their best, excepting the 2 times they had Helena and the 2 times they had Sakis!

And the Armenian entry is, for me, their 2nmd best after Sirusho!

 

[Sabrewulf238]

Since the semi finals are coming so I thought I'd refresh on what I want to see go through. Don't really care about who I think anymore...

This is all what I want to qualify:

Semi 1
------
Norway
Albania
Serbia
Switzerland
Georgia
San Marino (bit of a no hoper though...)
Hungary
Croatia
Azerbaijan
Lithuania

Semi 2
------
Bosnia & Herzegovina
Austria
Sweden (even though the lyrics are a bit rubbish)
Belarus
Estonia
Ireland
Israel
Slovakia
Netherlands
Bulgaria

I don't mind if Denmark makes it either, but those above are the ten I'd like to see through. I think I like Denmark a tiny tiny bit more than Netherlands....but I'd like to see Netherlands make it for once.

I fully expect to be upset tomorrow night (and thursday)

Before the first semi-final and after seeing the rehearsals this is what I feel will be the result:

1. Azerbaijan
2. Russia
3. Norway
4. Turkey
5. Serbia
6. Georgia
7. Switzerland
8. Poland
9. Hungary
10. Armenia
------------------------
11. Iceland
12. Greece
13. Finland
14. Albania
15. Portugal
16. Malta
17. Croatia
18. Lithuania
19. San Marino


But who knows, things change after seeing it live on tv. Last year I thought Slovakia was a shoe in but after seeing the performance I completely wrote it off.

Norway
Albania

Georgia
Finland
Iceland
Azerbaijan
Greece

Maybe if it sounded like this.

Also, really, "This Is Our Night" is better than "My Secret Combination"? You can make the case that "Shake It" is better than "My Secret Combination", but not for "This Is Our Night".

You are right in a way, but if I really love a part in a song it doesen't matter. I really love Loucas's part so I don't care tjhat I hate the Rap part!

And yes! ,,This is our night" is better then Kalomoira IMO. It's the song I always chose to sing at Eurovision party-es!

 

[aletem]

I'll try to predict the qualifiers. It is a very tough semi-final.

Finland
Russia
Turkey
Azerbaijan
--- those are certain
Norway
Poland
Croatia (or Serbia)
Hungary ??
Lithuania (Switzerland would be my second guess)
Greece ??

 

[Fichko]

From 1st semi I think:


1. Armenia
2. Azerbaijan
3. Greece
4. Turkey
5. Russia
6. Finland
7. Georgia
8. Norway
9. Hungary
10. Poland \Serbia\Iceland

So a song that's 50% crap is still a really good song if the other 50% is great? As opposed to a song that's 100% great (just not as great as the 50% of that other song that's great)?

And yes! ,,This is our night" is better then Kalomoira IMO. It's the song I always chose to sing at Eurovision party-es!

I can't even remember the melody to it. I keep hearing "This is our night!" being sung to the tune of "This Is My Life" (Iceland of the same year, not the 2010 Swedish suckapalooza). It was that "meh" to me. In my opinion, it was a half-assed song that didn't even sound very "Greek".

It was a mediocre elctro-pop song that didn't really stand out much (which is why Sakis needed to throw in that giant stapler).

My prediction for tomorrow:

Russia
Azerbaijan
Turkey
Poland
Norway
Serbia
Switzerland
Albania
Finland
Armenia (hope for Hungary or Croatia)

No! A song that I love 50 % and I hate 50 % is better then a song that I like 100 %. Betwen love and like there is a big difference, and I didn't even like Kalomira's song that much.

I can't even remember the melody to it. I keep hearing "This is our night!" being sung to the tune of "This Is My Life" (Iceland of the same year, not the 2010 Swedish suckapalooza). It was that "meh" to me. In my opinion, it was a half-assed song that didn't even sound very "Greek".

It was a mediocre elctro-pop song that didn't really stand out much (which is why Sakis needed to throw in that giant stapler).

First of all ,,This is my life" was 2008, not 2009, and the chours from ,,This is our night" where taken from the song ,,Stop" from the Romanian NF that year. And second of all If you didn't like it it doesen't mean it was bad. And I don't really give a damn It wasn'to Greek. I always love the songs from and they aren't to azeri. I think every country should chose what they want not what it represents them and their traditional sounds.....

15. Portugal
16. Malta
17. Croatia
18. Lithuania
19. San Marino

6/10 - Not too bad for pre-show prediction. I actually eliminated Poland and Armenia after seeing the live performance and replaced them with Iceland and Greece.

Lithuania was a surprise and Finland was more or less alright.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

My wants after the semi one performances:

Poland
Norway
Albania
Serbia
Switzerland
Georgia
Finland
San Marino
Croatia
Hungary
Lithuania
Azerbaijan

Finland won me over with his performance. Before you say anything, I know there are 12 countries listed there but there are about 3 songs that kept swapping in and out of my top ten so I decided I'd be happy with any of these 12 countries making it. As it stands 7 out of that 12 made it so I'm very happy. Miss Norway and Albania though.

 

[aletem]
