Flor-de-Lis MUST qualify. It's the only time I've been like 'YES, I love what PORTUGAL have sent'


Um, no Portugal shade please

Final results for PORTUGAL:

5th // 87 points // 2010 ► Filipa Azevedo - Há Dias Assim

Poor Filipa came so close! This has a really glorious retro touch to it and it shows how strong Portugal is that it’s only my 4th favourite song here.

Second Chance

SC // ?? points // 2008 ► Vânia Fernandes - Senhora Do Mar (Negras Águas)
SC // ?? points // 2017 ► Salvador Sobral - Amar Pelos Dois

This year’s winner Salvador can’t replicate his success here, falling victim to the Second Chance round. He’s joined by Senhora Do Mar, the first of Portugal’s trio of qualifiers from 08-10. I’d imagine both of these probably have a chance of doing well if they can make their way through as wildcards

Direct Qualifiers

DQ // ?? points // 2009 ► Flor-de-Lis - Todas As Ruas Do Amor
DQ // ?? points // 2014 ► Suzy - Quero Ser Tua

UAUAUÉ !
Last time we did this (back in 2015) Suzy came 3rd but this time she powers past Vânia to claim the second direct qualification spot. Get in Suzy! Although she isn’t actually my favourite here, that honour goes to the utterly sublime Todas As Ruas Do Amor. Before the start of this round I feared this would end up in 4th behind Suzy, Vânia and Salvador so I’m delighted to see how well it did here. What a result this was, can Serbia keep up the run of amazing qualifiers?

SERBIA

9th // 48 points // 2009 ► Marko Kon & Milaan - Cipela
8th // 74 points // 2010 ► Milan Stanković - Ovo Je Balkan
7th // 84 points // 2011 ► Nina - Čaroban
6th // 86 points // 2017 ► Tijana Bogićević - In Too Deep

Unsurprisingly Cipela comes last. More surprisingly, it managed to get one score of 10 and another of 8! Each to their own but I can’t really see the appeal here. Ovo Je Balkan and In Too Deep never really got going while Čaroban started strongly and then slowed down towards the end of voting.

Top 5:

2008 ► Jelena Tomašević feat. Bora Dugić - Oro
2012 ► Željko Joksimović - Nije Ljubav Stvar
2013 ► Moje 3 - Ljubav Je Svuda
2015 ► Bojana Stamenov - Beauty Never Lies
2016 ► Sanja Vučić ZAA - Goodbye (Shelter)

Both Željko-written tracks through as well as strong pop tracks from Moje 3, Bojana and Sanja. Will Oro storm it as predicted or will someone else ruin the party?

I thought 'In To Deep' would've done better.

Hmm. I found "Ovo Je Balkan" annoying at first but it soon became a bop (it's the pictures of Milan in a speedo that did it x) and Tijana sad.gif But if the Željko tracks end up as the top 2, can't complain there

Final results for SERBIA:

5th // 92 points // 2015 ► Bojana Stamenov - Beauty Never Lies

Drama in Serbia as the very last set of votes sent the then 5th placed song all the way up to 2nd! That is just a small idea of how close it was here, with Bojana losing out in the end. I found this quite tacky at the time but recently rediscovered it on a seemingly neverending bus journey where it sounded a lot better than I remembered...

Second Chance

SC // ?? points // 2013 ► Moje 3 - Ljubav Je Svuda
SC // ?? points // 2016 ► Sanja Vučić ZAA - Goodbye (Shelter)

I’d forgotten how much of a car crash the performance of Ljubav Je Svuda was until I watched the videos back in preparation for this round *.* I find Goodbye great to sing along to but I don’t mind it missing out too much as the top 2 here are rather wonderful.

Direct Qualifiers

DQ // ?? points // 2008 ► Jelena Tomašević feat. Bora Dugić - Oro
DQ // ?? points // 2012 ► Željko Joksimović - Nije Ljubav Stvar

And Željko does indeed get both his entries through! Oro is definitely the better of the 2 here, and I am still sad that it didn’t make it 2 wins in a row for Serbia back in the day. Now for the Second Chance round, who will make it through as wildcards?

Here is the complete list for the Second Chance round:

Armenia 2009 ► Inga & Anush - Jan Jan
Armenia 2010 ► Eva Rivas - Apricot Stone
Croatia 2012 ► Nina Badrić - Nebo
Croatia 2017 ► Jacques Houdek - My Friend
Hungary 2016 ► Freddie - Pioneer
Hungary 2017 ► Joci Pápai - Origo
Portugal 2008 ► Vânia Fernandes - Senhora Do Mar (Negras Águas)
Portugal 2017 ► Salvador Sobral - Amar Pelos Dois
Serbia 2013 ► Moje 3 - Ljubav Je Svuda
Serbia 2016 ► Sanja Vučić ZAA - Goodbye (Shelter)

Just a quick word about readjustment before we get going. As there are an uneven number of entries per country, I have taken the last placed entries for Armenia, Hungary and Serbia away and reallocated voters' points for songs ranked below them to even things up (as described in the Opinions thread). This meant that Jan Jan gained 1 point, Apricot Stone 3 points, Pioneer 1 point, Origo 2 points, Ljubav Je Svuda 2 points and Goodbye 2 points. Right, now for the results...

I hope Freddie and Inga & Anush will qualify, but I predict Salvador Sobral and Inga & Anush.

Second Chance

10th // 90 points // Croatia 2012 ► Nina Badrić - Nebo
9th // 95 points // Serbia 2013 ► Moje 3 - Ljubav Je Svuda


Armenia 2009 ► Inga & Anush - Jan Jan
Armenia 2010 ► Eva Rivas - Apricot Stone
Croatia 2017 ► Jacques Houdek - My Friend
Hungary 2016 ► Freddie - Pioneer
Hungary 2017 ► Joci Pápai - Origo
Portugal 2008 ► Vânia Fernandes - Senhora Do Mar (Negras Águas)
Portugal 2017 ► Salvador Sobral - Amar Pelos Dois
Serbia 2016 ► Sanja Vučić ZAA - Goodbye (Shelter)

Poor Nebo never really stood a chance here. Ljubav Je Svuda did well with later voters but it wasn't enough to seriously challenge for a wildcard spot

Apricot Stone and My Friend would be my choices easily, realistically I'm hoping Apricot Stone can at least manage it

Second Chance

10th // 90 points // Croatia 2012 ► Nina Badrić - Nebo
9th // 95 points // Serbia 2013 ► Moje 3 - Ljubav Je Svuda
8th // 97 points // Portugal 2017 ► Salvador Sobral - Amar Pelos Dois
7th // 98 points // Serbia 2016 ► Sanja Vučić ZAA - Goodbye (Shelter)


Armenia 2009 ► Inga & Anush - Jan Jan
Armenia 2010 ► Eva Rivas - Apricot Stone
Croatia 2017 ► Jacques Houdek - My Friend
Hungary 2016 ► Freddie - Pioneer
Hungary 2017 ► Joci Pápai - Origo
Portugal 2008 ► Vânia Fernandes - Senhora Do Mar (Negras Águas)

Major shock as Salvador crashes out in 8th place! Believe it or not he was actually in last place for Portugal at one points (even below A Luta É Alegria) but his voters came out in force over the weekend to get him this high. Serbia lose their second entry here as Sanja fails to cross the 100 point barrier. All 6 other entries here did get 100 points or over but for 4 of them that wasn’t enough...

Second Chance

10th // 90 points // Croatia 2012 ► Nina Badrić - Nebo
9th // 95 points // Serbia 2013 ► Moje 3 - Ljubav Je Svuda
8th // 97 points // Portugal 2017 ► Salvador Sobral - Amar Pelos Dois
7th // 98 points // Serbia 2016 ► Sanja Vučić ZAA - Goodbye (Shelter)
6th // 100 points // Croatia 2017 ► Jacques Houdek - My Friend
5th // 102 points // Hungary 2017 ► Joci Pápai - Origo


Armenia 2009 ► Inga & Anush - Jan Jan
Armenia 2010 ► Eva Rivas - Apricot Stone
Hungary 2016 ► Freddie - Pioneer
Portugal 2008 ► Vânia Fernandes - Senhora Do Mar (Negras Águas)

Croatia lose their second entry here as My Friend proved just a little bit too divisive to make it through. The same is probably true for Origo to be honest. Armenia still have two entries left, surely they can’t both make it through? Will Vânia and Freddie manage to stop the Armenian entries from progressing?

Your wish is my command:

Second Chance

10th // 90 points // Croatia 2012 ► Nina Badrić - Nebo
9th // 95 points // Serbia 2013 ► Moje 3 - Ljubav Je Svuda
8th // 97 points // Portugal 2017 ► Salvador Sobral - Amar Pelos Dois
7th // 98 points // Serbia 2016 ► Sanja Vučić ZAA - Goodbye (Shelter)
6th // 100 points // Croatia 2017 ► Jacques Houdek - My Friend
5th // 102 points // Hungary 2017 ► Joci Pápai - Origo
4th // 103 points // Armenia 2010 ► Eva Rivas - Apricot Stone
3rd // 107 points // Hungary 2016 ► Freddie - Pioneer


It’s Apricot Stone and Pioneer that end up just missing out which means…

WILDCARDS

2nd // 111 points // Portugal 2008 ► Vânia Fernandes - Senhora Do Mar (Negras Águas)
1st // 124 points // Armenia 2009 ► Inga & Anush - Jan Jan


I couldn’t have asked for a better pair of wildcards! Jan Jan absolutely stormed it, finishing well ahead of the rest and only 6 points (pre readjustment) behind the winner for Armenia. Senhora Do Mar started strongly but came dangerously close to falling behind Freddie at the end of the week. Luckily she just managed to hold on.

So that’s it for me, it’s been a pleasure guys! Thank you so much for voting and commentating, you’ve all been absolutely fantastic and I’ve loved my first go at hosting.

p.s. Make sure to vote in Jerick’s Heat 9 while you’re here
