The second semi has some very obvious qualifiers. I had 8 out of 10 in my semi one predicition and will try to at least have the same result in the semi 2 prediction.
Lithuania – Supposed to be funny acts has not done well the last years. The last time I can remember such an entry doing well was Lithuania 06 LT United. I actually think this has what it takes to make people vote for it and that it’s a qualifier.
Armenia – Looks very good on the tv-screens and it would be a giant surprise to see this not qualyfing.
Israel – I see this as a quite sure qualifier.
Denmark – I had this as a sure qualifier since the national final but I have the feeling that something here is lacking in the performance. Can still qualify but not sure it will anymore.
Switzerland – This is a pleasant song. Some people think it will do better than predicted
but I think this is a clear candidate for bottom 3.
Sweden – I hope my dear homecountry and Anna will be in the final but I am usually wrong when it comes to prediciting the outcome. I’m not sure if this a qualifier but so many people has told me that it is a qualifier that I chose to say it’s a qualifier.
Azerbaijan – The favourite to win looks pretty good. It’s not a clear winner but
in the end my gut feeling says this will be top 3 at least.
Ukraine – If this had been in semi 1 it might maybe have qualified. But it should have no chance to qualify.
Netherlands – Another song that some people think can do better than predicted. I have it bottom 3 since the moment I heard it and I’ll stick to it.
Romania – Looks good on the screens. I remember I wasn’t too impressed by the song the first time it was presented for me but I came to like it and I think it might qualify.
Slovenia – Neighbour votes is the only thing that can save this from last place.
Ireland – I had this as a sure qualiifer but I am not as sure as I was anymore.
Bulgaria – It’s a nice uptempo number but the feeling is that it’s enough to qualify.
Cyprus – Nice performed though being one of many ballads won’t help. Another song that might qualify.
Croatia – A sure qualifier and some people here talks about it as the winner.
Georgia – Sofia sings fantastic. I think this can go all the way.
Turkey – maNga pulls off an impressive show and is an obvious qualifier.
My final prediction would be:
1.Azerbaijan
2.Armenia
3.Turkey
4.Croatia
5.Israel
6.Lithuania
7.Romania
8.Sweden
9.Georgia
10.Ireland
11.Denmark
12.Cyprus
13.Bulgaria
14.Ukraine
15.Netherlands
16.Slovenia
17.Switzerland
