TBH I love Australia being in ESC and have either liked or loved all of their entries so far but I don't like this one. I think it's weird and it's not even remotely comparable with La Forza even if both have opera elements. La Forza is way more accessible than this as it has a lot friendlier structure than Zero Gravity. I'm not saying I'd be surprised to see Australia qualify but I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't either.

Based on the latest rehearsals. Belarus is my wildcard. San Marino would easily get the LOLZ votes. Estonia and Portugal seem pretty doomed to me, but it's the ones next in line to Q for me.

Australia
Iceland
Estonia
Portugal
Greece

Was really torn between Estonia and Portugal for the last spot but maybe if Australia & Iceland both make it then Portugal might be one 'out-there' song too many. I'm still not entirely convinced Iceland will go through but the hype seems to be there so I've gone with it for now. Montenegro, Finland and Georgia are dead on arrival. Think Greece are winning the semi final quite easily.

Semi Two

Armenia
Ireland
Moldova
Switzerland
Latvia
Romania
Denmark
Sweden
Austria
Croatia
Malta
Lithuania
Russia
Albania
Norway
The Netherlands
North Macedonia
Azerbaijan

Norway looks fantastic from the rehearsal clip but I can't shake the feeling the juries are going to tank it. It's in my top 10 but I think Albania will miss out as well now unfortunately. North Macedonia I think could do a Czech Republic 2016 and qualify thanks to the juries and then do nothing on the Saturday night, but hey, getting through is the victory for them! Denmark remains abhorrent but such garbage always gets through (Rybak last year). Latvia and Croatia are the only two with no chance here I feel.

SEMI ONE

01 Greece
02 Iceland
03 Czech Republic
04 Cyprus
05 Australia
06 Serbia
07 Belarus
08 Slovenia
09 Belgium
10 Portugal
---
11 Hungary
12 San Marino
13 Estonia
14 Poland
15 Georgia
16 Finland
17 Montenegro

There's a lot of reasons why all those countries from 8th downwards to not qualify but in the end I went with Slovenia and Belgium as two that can get through on being safe and contemporary and then I ended up going with Portugal for the last spot as I think the Semi audience is probably the audience that's going to be the most receptive to Conan and there'll be enough of a fan effort to sneak it through on televotes.

SEMI TWO

01 Sweden
02 Netherlands
03 Malta
04 Azerbaijan
05 Switzerland
06 Russia
07 Denmark
08 North Macedonia
09 Austria
10 Norway
---
11 Romania
12 Armenia
13 Albania
14 Lithuania
15 Moldova
16 Ireland
17 Croatia
18 Latvia

Similar argument that I made with Conan applies to Keiino (okay maybe this is just derranged fanboyishness) in that I don't think the juries will hate this enough to kill what could be a top 3 in the semi televote. Gave North Macedonia the nod over Albania in the end as I think Tamara is giving a stronger performance and the song's more accesible to a non-balkan audience. And I think Austria will be a jury darling enough for them to be the "Anna Rosinelli" of 2019 as it's a calm oasis between Sweden and Croatia. Romania in 11th are well prepared to snatch one of these countries dreams but I think that's gonna struggle without a few bribed wiwibloggers.

Greece winning semi 1? Really? Actually that said, looking at it, all the strong songs are in semi 2 this year aren’t they. Like the reverse of last year!

Personally hoping Iceland, Cyprus or Slovenia will top semi 1 but won’t hold my breath... Greece seems like a sensible choice I suppose.

What do you feel the juries will love about Austria? Just had another listen, it really feels like a whole load of nothing, such a dull entry. Maybe the live performance will elevate it? Not seen any rehearsals...
