Alright, predictions as of 3 May:
OUT:
- There's absolutely nothing good about this lol.
- Confusing song, forgettable despite featuring very strong vocals
- I will spare myself the embarassment of publicly admitting Serhat has a shot, when he inevitably NQs in 14th place.
- Feels like a Suzy, will have impressive rehearsals and gain popularity but no traction
- Leaves absolutely no impact, Darude faces are about as 'funny' as Gromee's ~SnEkDeNz~
ONE or the other deals (BL)
/
- underwhelming returnee ballads, the pair of them, definitely more of a tradition televote entry sort. Hard to say which one stays in the semi (ideally, both,
over Zena
)
/
- vie for the jury & fangirl vote, both are fairly listless performers and I'd say one of them get's AISEL'd out and the other finishes bottom 3 in the finale.
IN:
- absolutely WILL win this semifinal
, - while i don't expect Replay to impress, they should do reasonably well in the semi, qualifying in 6th-7th place
- a song so irritating it becomes endearing in a way. the only argument against it, is its flag.
- KMH is way too good to miss out on finals, opera has a 100% qualification record, including for usually Not Safe countries such as Slovenia and Estonia.
- will be a trainwreck, but katherine is vocally strong enough to carry them to the finale, where they'll finish in 23rd place
- potential for off-the-charts levels of chemistry if they make it work (and why shouldn't they)
- Vocally impressive, interviews hint at trippy staging
- largely wishful thinking, but Conan could possibly fit both the Saara type (early runaway fave who falls out of favour for some reason and Qs by a narrow, narrow margin) AND the Tinkara/Demy type (Obvious 10th place qualifier who just as obviously finishes bottom 6 in the finale)
