Who will qualify from Semi Final 1

[RainyWoods]

My last prediction..

Sailing through

01. Estonia
02. Georgia
03. Russia
04. Finland

Fairly safely through

05. Albania
06. Belgium
07. Greece
08. Armenia

Borderline

09. Moldova
10. Serbia

-------

11. Hungary
12. Belarus
13. Denmark
14. Romania

No chance

15. Macedonia
16. The Netherlands




Overall it's very open. I really can only adamantly predict The Netherlands and Macedonia's failures. Despite the diaspora, I think Romania might be looking at their first failure. Hungary is the hardest one here for me to predict. On the one hand it's a different mood to everything here, on the other hand I just think it's a dreadfully dull and cold song. Moldova is my out there, wacky prediction. Every year a sort of tacky entry shocks fans and makes it to the final. Moldova is ticking all the boxes to be this entry. In fact, it's the only truly dodgy thing we have this year. I think Finland and Georgia have the power to shock and grab a hold of the public win. Both might struggle with the jury though. Estonia will do well with both, and also should appeal to all countries, that's why I think it will be the winner here.

Final prediction before semi:



I'd also say /// instead of . But I just.. have to leave Finland in just because I have no clue about how it will do.

Haha I'd say I got 8,5/10, pretty good. I got 8/10 in the first semi-final last year as well. I did another prediction tonight after I saw the performances and guessed a bit differently ... But I got 8/10 right from that also.

I guessed 9/10. However, I didn´t do any predictions before the show, because I knew that performances can always turn things around.

The only one that I guessed wrong was Finland. They weren´t good IMO, but I was sure that they qualify for the reasons that we already know.
I threw out Albania instead (stupid me!).

Partly, I was actually expecting Albania to qualify, but I wasn´t sure on the other hand whether Finland would flop or not.

Anyways, I´m glad that things turned out the way they did!
