We haven't had a Semifinal this bad in a WHILE. Beyond tragic. I am only excited to hear Georgia... and that's literally it (apart from Cyprus for the eye candy of course!).

I'll be fine as long as Australia sweep aside the competition (as they should), and I get Albania / Slovenia in. Georgia and Romania are on my wishlist but I fear that especially the latter might be asking too much (still my 3rd fave in this semi, suck it haters - and yes I will concede that that says a few things about this semi's quality but I do really like it)

want:
02. 🇦🇲 Brunette - Future Lover
03. 🇷🇴 Theodor Andrei - D.G.T. (Off and On)
05. 🇧🇪 Gustaph - Because of You
07. 🇮🇸 Diljá - Power
10. 🇸🇮 Joker Out - Carpe Diem
11. 🇬🇪 Iru - Echo
13. 🇦🇹 Teya, Salena - Who The Hell Is Edgar?
14. 🇦🇱 Albina & Familja Kelmendi - Duje
15. 🇱🇹 Monika Linkytė - Stay
16. 🇦🇺 Voyager - Promise

think:
01. 🇩🇰 Reiley - Breaking My Heart
02. 🇦🇲 Brunette - Future Lover
05. 🇧🇪 Gustaph - Because of You
06. 🇨🇾 Andrew Lambrou - Break a Broken Heart
07. 🇮🇸 Diljá - Power
09. 🇵🇱 Blanka - Solo
10. 🇸🇮 Joker Out - Carpe Diem
13. 🇦🇹 Teya, Salena - Who The Hell Is Edgar?
15. 🇱🇹 Monika Linkytė - Stay
16. 🇦🇺 Voyager - Promise

but tbh only certain qualifiers here I think are Australia, Belgium and Lithuania thanks to its accessibility and late slot - even Austria's performance doesn't sound like televote standout, and I'm only like 90% sure on Slovenia. Otherwise many combinations are possible. Only certain NQs are San Marino and sadly Romania, neither have had much love all season and the rehearsals haven't been kind either.

Theres no universe in which Austria DNQs. It’s a solid bop and they have on point vocals. The rehersal footage looks fab and they went OFF at the pre-parties.




Like Pavita I’m backing Cyprus because he’s pretty. His costume designer was clearly hetero tho because there’s far too much fabric

Austria have given up any hope of televote success in the final by not bringing their video concept to the stage. Still hoping for a top 1o finish though.

Austria and Georgia are the only two that I actively seek out to listen to.

At least 5 songs worse than Latvia's will qualify 😡

This is disastrous based on listens, hope the performances elevate the show a bit.

This result is a terrible semi, I only care about Armenia and Austria both of which should easily be safe I’d have thought. I like a few others, Slovenia, Iceland, Belgium and Lithuania are solid, Australia is ok I guess but meh, or much I’m hugely excited about only Armenia and Austria from my top 10!

About to watch the dress rehearsal (my second and final live show). Very excited for the show and seeing the staging, less so most of the actual songs. I’m not really bothered who qualifies as long as Austria and Belgium make it out alive, which of course they will.

I’d like to see Slovenia, Lithuania and Iceland in too but I can’t imagine the latter will be in the mix.

based on a listen to the audio

Want: Belgium, Poland, Austria, Albania, Australia
Don't care but they can fill up the rest of the top 10: Denmark, Cyprus, Iceland, Slovenia, Georgia

shame that Albania are a likely NQ but the rest of my top 5 should Q at least

Again my Wants & Thinks for Semi 2:

WANT:
01. Reiley - Breaking My Heart
04. Alika - Bridges
06. Andrew Lambrou - Break a Broken Heart
07. Diljá - Power
08. Victor Vernicos - What They Say
09. Blanka - Solo
10. Joker Out - Carpe Diem
11. Iru - Echo
13. Teya, Salena - Who The Hell Is Edgar?
14. Albina & Familja Kelmendi - Duje

THINK:
02. Brunette - Future Lover
04. Alika - Bridges
05. Gustaph - Because of You
06. Andrew Lambrou - Break a Broken Heart
07. Diljá - Power
09. Blanka - Solo
10. Joker Out - Carpe Diem
11. Iru - Echo
13. Teya, Salena - Who The Hell Is Edgar?
15. Monika Linkytė - Stay

I think Albania AND Monika are very Jury dependent so it's going to be interesting if either of them survive the televote only of the Semi's... I'm going to say Lithuania over Albania, but depending how the public votes, I wouldn't be surprised to see San Marino get in over one of them...

Imo:

Q:

Belgium
Austria
Australia
Lithuania
Cyprus
Slovenia
Armenia
Georgia
Poland

Fighting for 10th with two out:

Greece
Denmark
Estonia

Definitely out:

Albania
Iceland
Romania
San Marino

Not quite sure who I’d expect in from the ‘fighting for 10th’ section, think I’ll say Greece as it has that singer songwriter chart vibe people seem to love but it could just as easily be Denmark.

Isn't it Greece that had that shocking rehearsal? I presume if his vocals are really as bad as that, unless the public troll vote for him he can't be through, surely? ohmy.gif
