Then the 10 I choose are:
Latvia
San Marino
Azerbaijan
Finland
Malta
Iceland
Greece
Norway
Albania
Georgia
I want them all to go through – but I just cant see them all doing that!! This is a very very tough Semi indeed and don’t be surprised if I have scored the minimum of 3/10
My Top 10 ranking is as follows (so least confident of qualification at the bottom):
Azerbaijan
Georgia
Norway
Greece
Malta
Israel
Iceland
Romania
Hungary
Finland
it’s bloodbath of a semi, so I will put my head under the guillotine and make my prediction:
Azerbaijan
Finland
Malta
Iceland
Greece
Israel
Hungary
Norway
Georgia
Romania
I dislike Romania very much,however I can’t ignore their voting powers.I will be very delighted if San Marino will go instead of them.
I think its a very tough semi and very difficult to predict – not because the standard is too high, but because everything is reasonably good (with one or two exceptions).
I only have one definite (Malta) and two definitely nots (Hungary and Romania)
My guess for the other qualifiers is San Marino, Azerbaijan, Iceland, Greece, Israel, Norway, Albania, Georgia and Switzerland. But i really do think that the five i havent mentioned all have a reasonable chance of qualifying.
If my prediction is correct it would mean only two Western European countries missing out on the final (Austria and Finland).
9/10 and I have just noticed that Darren did the same and that we had the same list.Quite a coincidence, and well done to Darren.
About Israel-Nothing about the dress.She was vocally dreadful, this evening. When I heard her, I had a feeling she is not qualifying.I had the same feeling about Finland, but was wrong about this.
6/10 – pretty bad, especially as my two definitely nots qualified.
I’m disappointed Armenia qualified, although not surprised. But he did have a very good performance. Having seen it i’m a bit surprised that Geogria qualified, given they obviously cant stand each other.
I personally didn’t think Israel was bad vocally, and was a bit surprised she didnt qualify.
