You’ve heard all the songs and show know them all pretty well by now but some songs can easily be forgotten so you can hear the songs on this YouTube Playlist below…
You can allocate your points by clicking the link HERE
The results will be shown at some point in the coming week and a poll for Semi Final Two will be coming very shortly… Please vote for who you THINK will qualify and not who you WANT to qualify. E.g You hate Finland but think they will qualify 3rd place so you will give them 8pts.
Edit: The response to the poll has been immense with over 100 responses on it already. I will close the poll at 16:00CET 12/04/2015 in order to get you the results quicker.
The Eurovision Times 
Difficult to predict.
Sure qualifiers: Belgium, Estonia, Russia, Romania and Georgia. Unlikely to qualify: Finland, Macedonia and Serbia. I haven’t got a clue about the rest.
I don’t think Romania will qualify despite them being popular normally.. The UK aren’t voting in this Semi and there is a lot of Diaspora here
I think Finland will qualify with ease just because of the message they are there to give.
Romania: Spain are voting in this semi, plus they also have Moldova.
Finland: may or may not do well in the televoting, especially if the protest votes go that way, but I think the juries will slaughter it.
I don’t have the slightest clue.
Neither do I.
This is one of the weakest semi finals I can remember.
SEMI 1 PREDICTION – I am being bold here:
1.Albania
2.Russia
3.Estonia
4.Romania
5.Armenia
6.Netherlands
7.Georgia
8.Greece
9.Belarus
10.Denmark
11.Belgium
12.Hungary
13.Serbia
14.Moldova
15.Finland
16.FYROM
I think you’ll get 7 or 8 out of 10 at best. :D
I remember you saying the same when I was predicting Estonia out last year…
And people were saying Netherlands would struggle to qualify last year because of lack of allies in semi and I was like “It is a gem, it will be appreciated, you’ll see…”
So except from Belgium which I can’t get at the moment, which one is the other I am not predicting through? Hungary?
You were also predicting qualification for Latvia,Moldova and Portugal if i remember correctly.lol
Latvia was my 10th and Iceland got through in a similar genre.
Moldova: I was saying it will rank bottom 3 despite the Soviet oriented semi, so u must be confusing me with someone else. I never Predicted Portugal through either.
I was among the few predicting Slovenia in and Lithuania out (despite the 3 years strike of qualification)
Didn’t you get 8 out of 10 in your prediction for the first semi?
I just checked:
Semi 1 : I got 8/10
Missed San Marino and Iceland (was predicting Latvia and Belgium)
Semi 2 : I got 9/10 Was predicting Israel over Belarus. I was among the very few saying Ireland will fail even before rehearsals…when people were overhyping it…
I got the same scores with a slightly different prediction if my memory serves me correctly.
I don’t remember tbh. But noone predicted more than 17/20 last year that’s for sure!
Hungary,Finland even FYROM can have its shot with a strong live.
So pretty much you are predicting everyone through… :P
Denmark,the Netherlands and Belarus will struggle to qualify,imo.
Greece, Romania and Russia have never missed a final. Will it happen now?
I think Hungary will be big in jury voting and Finland in televoting (they will on the other hand crash with the juries). It’s terribly hard to predict this, I’d say, and after San Marino 2014 it feels like everything is possible, lol
Russi wil qualify 100%
Greece has 50% chances to qualify and so Romania (it benefits from the performing order)
Russia* will*
I don’t have a clue but voted anyway. :)
Okay, this is what I came up with. While I’m fairly confident the top seven will qualify, the rest are all borderline and will depend on the live performances.
1. Estonia
2. Russia
3. Romania
4. Georgia
5. Belgium
6. Finland
7. Albania
8. Greece
9. Macedonia
10. Hungary
11. Belarus
12. Denmark
13. Armenia
14. Moldova
15. Netherlands
16. Serbia
Serbia won’t come last. 12 pts from Macedonia and 10 from Austria … plus some minor points.
People said there was no way they would miss the final in 2013, and look what happened. Plus, they’re singing in English this time too.
It’s obviously not a lock at this stage, but I do think Serbia are in real trouble this year. And 15 points (still a decent amount) isn’t enough to keep you from last place these days…
I see your point but I would be very surprised to see Serbia come last because I expect some televoting support from all different countries too.
Maybe jury too, ESC jury is unpredictable these days..
Hello Marko! :)
While everybody predicts that Finland will do well in televoting and might even qualify i believe that it will come last or second to last in that semi
I think that Belarus will flop live just like his NF performance
01: Russia
02: Estonia
03: Belgium
04: Georgia
05: Armenia
06: Romania
07: Denmark
08: Greece
09: Belarus
10: Albania
This semi final was super hard to predict. I may have put Belgium too high. A lot of it depends on the live performance on that one. I could easily see how they could fail to qualify also. Netherlands is high on my personal list but they were number 11 in my prediction. I hope I am wrong on that as I would like the Dutch to continue their run of finals.
Here are my my thoughts on this Semi-overall, I like the songs in Semi 2 more, but there are some gems here as well, and it’s harder to predict….
1. Estonia
2. Belgium
3. Russia
4. Hungary
5. Georgia
6. Greece
7. Romania
8. Macedonia
9. Albania
10. Moldova
Wish Estonia, Armenia, Belgium, Georgia, FYR of Macedonia, Netherlands qualify here!
My fave in this semi is Greece..i think she won’t have problem…i love color of her vocal, it’s so warm and nice..it has a bit of that “sand’ in the voice I like to listen to. :)
the second one for me is Estonia and it’s obvious fave, not only to qualify but to win the whole competition..
Then comes The Netherlands for me, i also think she will do it..but who knows..I like that song, vocals are strong, composition is fine, it’s combination of modern and retro.. :)
The others I’d love and like to see in the final are (in this order):
4. Russia – what a vocal, I’m speechless, and she oozes class, I saw her performance of her entry live in Vienna few days ago and she has blown me away, her singing has some echo, it was brilliant..
5. Belgium – really modern and alternative, I like it..
6. Macedonia – i just love that singer, he won X factor and he really has that X factor, he is AWESOME.. :)
7. Armenia – quality and interesting
8. Finland – different and brave
9. Belarus – I Iike melody, it’s catchy and performance can be really good
10. Georgia – grown on me, her live performance in Riga few days ago is fantastic..energetic, live, singing is marvelous..
I’d also like to see Serbia qualifying cause voting will be more interesting to me, but song is middle of the road..
