passionpopSPOILER ALERT
If you are yet to see the second semi (which is airing tonight in Australia) please don't read this as it will tell you who qualified.
Azerbaijan - Safura - 'Drip Drop' - though copying Rhianna has paid off a bit, it is near impossible to win when performing first. that may change this year though as voting opens from the start of the first act, so she might win with a landslide after all. song still sucks though
Spain - Daniel Diges - 'Algo Pequeñito (Something Tiny)' - they have kept much of the performance from the Spanish national selection and what they have added only appears to have made it worse. loser.
Norway - Didrik Solli-Tangen - 'My Heart Is Yours' - can the home team make it two in a row. the bookies don't think so. I have liked this song from the start but I dont think it is a 'eurovision' song... it is too good for eurovision, unless he fluffs it on the night
Moldova: Sunstroke Project & Olia Tira - 'Run Away' - this will be lucky if it gets top 20, out of 25.
Cyprus: Jon Lilygreen & The Islanders - 'Life Looks Better In Spring' - the bookies don't like this one, but the Greeks do, might make top ten
Bosnia & Herzegovina - Vukašin Brajić - 'Thunder and Lightning' - i think, being a similar style to the Turkish song, and turkey is a better song, this wont get far
Belgium - Tom Dice - 'Me and My Guitar' - this is one of the songs that only qualified because it was in the weaker semi.
Serbia: Milan Stanković - 'Ovo Je Balkan' - this is the closet thing to a novelty song to have made it to the final this year (well this and Greece) and Europe does like novelty songs (one came second for the Ukraine a couple years ago). I think last years 'The Balkan Girls' was better than this though. should be tep ten.
Belarus - 3+2 - 'Butterflies' - this is a big steaming pile of shit and again, only qualified because it was in the weaker semi. crash and burn Belarus, Crash and burn.
Ireland: Niamh Kavanagh - 'It's For You' - i think this qualified more for sentimental value than anything else (eurovision likes its previous winners, but not that much) Niamh wont get a second Eurovision gong
Greece - Giorgos Alkaios & Friends - 'OPA' - this is at an almost perfect part of the night for a song that drunk men can dance around the house to. wont win but will give it a shot
United Kingdom - Josh - 'That Sounds Good To Me' - that sounds like stock & waterman to me... oh thats right, it is. if this was the 1990 Eurovision, this would have a chance, but it is 20 years too late mate
Georgia: Sofia Nizharadze - 'Shine' - this will be at either the bottom of the top ten or between 10-15. all depends if the Soviet Bloc has forgiven Georgia for its childish antics from last year really.
Turkey: maNga - 'We Could Be the Same' - currently 5th favourite. this could be a go-er
Albania - Juliana Pasha - 'It's All About You' - the odds are saying that this is 4th last. this deserves better than that and it will depends on the blocs what it gets
Iceland - Hera Björk - 'Je Ne Sais Quo' - I think I heard her say something along the lines of Iceland welcoming Eurovision if they had the chance to host it next year... and if the planes are allowed to fly there... wont win
Ukraine: Alyosha - 'Sweet People' - there is a bit too much of this type of crud in this years eurovision. sonw win because there are too many similar songs taking away its votes.
France - Jessy Matador - 'Allez Olla Olé' - the bookies are putting this around 15th atm. I think it will do better. doubt it will win though
Romania: Paula Seling & Ovi - 'Playing with Fire' - this is a real contender, though the bookies are putting it around 12/13th. i put it mid to upper end of the top ten
Russia: Peter Nalitch & Friends - 'Lost and Forgotten' - I wish this was lost and forgotten. bottom half of the field for this one
Armenia: Eva Rivas - 'Apricot Stone' - Currently 3rd with the bookies and should do better. ethnic waffle can win Eurovision, and if Eurovision goes to Armenia, next years event will be popular in Turkey...
Germany - Lena - 'Satellite' - this song is second favourite. two of the favourites back to back. will that help or hinder them... we will see.
Portugal - Filipa Azevedo - 'Há Dias Assim' - the toilet break song
Israel: Harold Skaat - 'Milim' - this qualified from the 'good' semi when good stuff missed out. this is shit (pardon the skat pun)
Denmark: Chanée & N'evergreen - 'In A Moment Like This' - finally the end of the event. hopefully you will miss this song completely because you will be in the bathroom throwing up... if the alcohol doesn't make you do it, this song will.
