Eurovision 2021 Second Semi Preview.

  San Marino – (rehearsal) this one has been steadily drifting out with the bookmakers but it is still a popular song. there appear to be some... interesting choices in the performance, but it should do well 

  Estonia – (rehearsal) Very pretty man, pretty standard song. After three attempts to get to Eurovision on top of the cancellation last year, lets hope he doesn't waste his chance. 
 

  Czech Republic – (rehearsal) *to the tune of the song*  Oh my god this is a waste of time, why don't you go home right now man, go home right now... 
 

  Greece – (rehearsal) there is a shadow under one of the green screen dancers that makes is look like he dropped a load. I don't get the Catwoman outfit, but the song is ok
 

  Austria – (rehearsal) The bedazzled jacket is distracting, but I am sure this will go down well in the Philippines, for all the good that will do. 
 

  Poland – (rehearsal) in 2003 Rufus represented Estonia with a song called "80's are coming back". Like dodgy seafood the 80s keep coming back. maybe they never left Poland... Fun song even thought eh bookies do not rate it at all
 

  Moldova – (rehearsal) this song is pure, unmitigated trash. It is almost my favourite song of this semi. It is brilliant. The bookies think it is mid range, but what would they know. 
 

  Iceland – (rehearsal) Daði og Gagnamagnið have been earing the favour of the bookmakers slowly. it was always top ten but since the rehearsals it has gone top 5, #4 even. Could be the winner.... 
 

  Serbia – (rehearsal) From the rehearsal it appears that most of the actual singing is being done by the backing vocalists and not by Hurricane. Thats Loco Loco. Even the bookmakers think that is pretty average. 
 

  Georgia – (rehearsal) this starts off sounding like an audio test for your speakers and then turns into a life insurance advert. The bookmakers have this dead last and they might be right. 
 

  Albania – (rehearsal) the book makers put this song in a pack at the back with Czech republic, Poland, Estonia, and Georgia. That is not fair. Poland is so much better than this. 
 

  Portugal – (rehearsal) this is a quality song from Portugal. Despite improving with the bookmakers, it is still around the middle of the pack. deserves better. 
 

  Bulgaria – (rehearsal) the bookmakers love this but the song is a snore and the outfit is... questionable. 
 

  Finland – (rehearsal) this song is slowly falling away with the bookmakers. Blind Channel look like they are having fun though
 

  Latvia – (rehearsal) if the Barbara Dex award for worst dressed extended to the backing singers, this would win. As a song, though, it is not a winner, no matter how passionately Samanta Tīna sings 
 

  Switzerland – (rehearsal) Harry High-Pants has been dropping since the rehearsal. I hope they frame this well before the performance. looks like a snore.

  Denmark – (rehearsal) the bad seafood has returned. strangely the bookmakers like this more than Poland. Not much more, just more. 

Bookmakers Qualifiers: San Marino, Greece, Moldova, Iceland, Serbia, Portugal, Bulgaria, Finland, Switzerland, Denmark
 

 

My predicted qualifiers: San Marino, Greece, Austria, Poland, Moldova, Iceland, Portugal, Bulgaria, Finland, Switzerland

I am not confident about Greece, Bulgaria or Poland. Estonia and Czech Republic could come up over any of them
