Here we are again. I took a risk combining my prediction and want list and it didn't pay off in the first semi-final as I scored 8/10. The semi-finals are quite different this year one featuring all the bangers and crazy stuff along with polls/odds favorites while the second one is a bit boring string of rather underwhelming songs. But I want to take some risks here, too, and see how it ends. Let's go:
Denmark is a big question mark. Not my cup of tea but could it make it? For now I say OUT
Armenia is interesting and quite original and I like it. Not sure about the dance break she seems to have just like Israel.... Anyways Armenia is IN
Romania is OUT
Estonia is a bit like Denmark, a real question mark. But I think I want to say OUT
Belgium sticks out after those songs and should be IN
Cyprus is also IN helped by the Greek and Australian vote
Iceland is a bit Pippi Longstocking gone wild and most likely OUT
Greece is yet another question mark. Cypriot vote won't be enough and they're OUT
Poland. Oh dear, again a big question mark. Fandom isn't convinced but the song itself could have wide appeal? I'm tempted to say IN but sadly they might be OUT
Slovenia is IN just because they are Käärijä's best pals in Liverpool.
Georgia is another I can't make my mind up but I say IN
San Marino should be in but I'm afraid they're out but I take a huge risk and say against all odds IN
Austria seems to be a mess on stage but they're IN (but they will flop in the final)
Albania is 50/50 in and out so what to say? IN
Lithuania is IN because it's not the worst of the lot
Australia is also IN no doubt.
