 Greeting assorted pophoes and eurohoes (and the two or three of you who just turn up for the week or so that the shows are on, icu2). The real "most wonderful time of the year" is upon us once more and so it's time to partake in the annual tradition of the BuzzJack Eurovision Forum preview contest. In celebration of the powers that be FINALLY granting me mod powers, it was decided that I was the perfect choice to host for the first time since the infamous Molly/Sanna tie in 2014 (remember that?  ) Together we will follow the format of the semi finals where the ten songs out of 18 with the most points will join the automatic qualifiers of Ukraine, Spain, France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom in the Grand Final. For your consideration, here are the songs:Semi-Final One 01  Sweden: Robin Bengtsson - I Can't Go On02  Georgia: Tamara Gachechiladze - Keep The Faith03  Australia: Isaiah - Don't Come Easy04  Albania: Lindita - World05  Belgium: Blanche - City Lights06  Montenegro: Slavko Kalezić - Space07  Finland: Norma John - Blackbird08  Azerbaijan: Dihaj - Skeletons09  Portugal: Salvador Sobral - Amar Pelos Dois10  Greece: Demy - This Is Love11  Poland: Kasia Moś - Flashlight12  Moldova: Sunstroke Project - Hey Mamma13  Iceland: Svala - Paper14  Czech Republic: Martina Bárta - My Turn15  Cyprus: Hovig - Gravity16  Armenia: Artsvik - Fly With Me17  Slovenia: Omar Naber - On My Way18  Latvia: Triana Park - LineSemi-Final Two 01  Serbia: Tijana Bogićević - In Too Deep02  Austria: Nathan Trent - Running On Air03  Macedonia: Jana Burčeska - Dance Alone04  Malta: Claudia Faniello - Breathlessly05  Romania: Ilinca ft. Alex Florea - Yodel It!06  The Netherlands: OG3NE - Lights And Shadows07  Hungary: Joci Pápai - Origo08  Denmark: Anja - Where I Am09  Ireland: Brendan Murray - Dying To Try10  San Marino: Valentina Monetta & Jimmie Wilson - Spirit Of The Night11  Croatia: Jacques Houdek - My Friend12  Norway: JOWST - Grab The Moment13  Switzerland: Timebelle - Apollo14  Belarus: Naviband - Story Of My Life15  Bulgaria: Kristian Kostov - Beautiful Mess16  Lithuania: Fusedmarc - Rain Of Revolution17  Estonia: Koit Toome & Laura - Verona18  Israel: IMRI - I Feel AliveSend your votes to me, LexC, in the classic Eurovision style (12 points to your fave, 10 to your second fave, 8 to your third and so on down to 1 point) by 23:59 BST on Sunday 7th May. The results show will follow on the following Evening, the day before the first live show to kick off Eurovision week in style. In addition there will be two preview shows on the plug.dj BuzzJack Eurovision room on Monday May 1st (Semi One) and Wednesday May 3rd (Semi Two) at 20:00 BST on both nights. So if you're one of those strange people in this forum who still haven't heard some/most/all of the songs then these preview shows will be a nice and entertaining communal introduction for you. BuzzJack, start voting...NOW! |

Semi one has more good songs in general but semi two has 4 highlights which overshadow the 12 pointer in semi one. But overall they are balanced

I definitely prefer semi 2 in terms of highlights and 'interesting' moments (Croatia, Romania), and it just so happens that it's the semi 2 plug session that I can be around for

Bumping and sending out reminders for this shortly as a few of you need to edit your votes and one member of the mod team hasn't even voted yet (and it's not even the one who's got a decent excuse!)

I told you I was waiting to see all the rehearsal clips!!
Also my order changes every 5 minutes - I don't know how or when it happened, but I think this year has ended up stronger than last year! |

Done... And I didn't realise how rough Semi 2 was until I got voting. There's well over ten songs I'd gladly never wish to hear again!

I think semi 2 is very strong and I've come to the conclusion that they aren't very balanced at all. My top five or six in semi 2 are all better than my favourite in semi 1 and I'd happily have thirteen qualifiers from semi 2 with only seven from semi 1. |

Barring a couple of songs, it's either extraordinary bland (Denmark, Switzerland) or excruciating (Croatia, Ireland). I know the former are popular on here, but these songs are so bad that they make Lithuania sound palatable. But, just my opinion... |
