Hello Europe!!!
No time for bloggage today peeps as La Monty turfed me out of the room to tend to matters more important. Yes he’s clearing out is handbag!!
Meeting the Irish fans now in O’Leary’s, how apt. Then dashing over to meet the team for serviette of doom..
Here’s my ten…
ESTONIA
CROATIA
RUSSIA
UKRAINE
DENMARK
MOLDOVA
IRELAND
LITHUANIA
BELGIUM
SERBIA
I suspect Netherlands is knocking on the door and Belarus will just miss out
Enjoy the show!!
So far, everyone’s serviette coincides with 8 of my predicted countries, despite the agreement being different every time. For that reason, I suspect most people are going to get 8/10 right, based on previous years.
My guess is as follows. In decreasing order of probability of qualifying:
Ireland
Denmark
Russia
Moldova
Ukraine
Serbia
Belarus
Netherlands
Estonia
Croatia
—————-
And these ones missing out:
Belgium
Montenegro
Slovenia
Austria
Cyprus
Lithuania
So, in other words, Ireland to win the semi and Lithuania for the wooden spoon.
My predictions have varied quite a lot this year, the only countries I have as no-hopers are the three at the bottom of that list.
Before I put my prediction, I would like to say, that this year I watched 2 or 3 video’s from the rehearsals. The video from the rehearsals don’t give you the full picture and I wanted to be surprised-for better or for worse.
So my prediction is based on me watching the songs,some time ago, and reading what has gone on the rehearsals and I have no clue how they look on stage or how they sound.
My prediction is:
Estonia
Croatia
Denmark
Russia
Ukraine
The Netherlands
Moldova
Ireland
Belgium
Serbia
Cyprus/Belarus/Montenegro may take over Belgium.
According to my prediction 6 countries from the 1st half of the semi-go through,which is very unusual.I will probably get 5/6 as usual.
Have fun an enjoy the show:)
I agree with Rosé except I’d have Belarus in and Belgium out.
“he’s clearing out his handbag” – this that a euphemism ?
Hearing feedback from the rehearsals i would say
Definitely qualifying – Denmark, Russia, Moldova
Probably qualifying – Austria, Estonia, Ireland
I think any of the others could qualify but if i have to pick four they would be Ukraine, Montenegro, Lithuania and Belgium.
This leaves Slovenia, Croatia, Netherlands, Belarus, Cyprus and Serbia
If i ruled the world (well at least ESC) i would drop Ukraine and Belgium and add in Belarus and Cyprus
I got 8 from 10 but never thought Servia and Croatia would miss out!
