May 25, 201015 yr Belgium and Serbia are pretty certain to go top ten now. Ideal draws for both in terms of the songs surrounding them - they'll work off each other fairly well I'd have thought. You definitely want your song to be distinct from what went before and what goes after if it's going on anywhere before the last ten.
May 25, 201015 yr Albania and Iceland to go then, with Albania up first... 1. 2. Spain 3. Norway 4. Moldova 5. 6. Bosnia-Herzegovina 7. Belgium 8. Serbia 9. Belarus 10. 11. Greece 12. United Kingdom 13. 14. 15. Albania 16. 17. 18. France 19. 20. Russia 21. 22. Germany 23. Portugal 24. 25. Decent for Albania, good to have something like that in the middle where it looks like a few semi final two ballads may end up!
May 25, 201015 yr Serbia once again great draw! betwen 2 ballads! and I know I did not get the hype nor the impact that Belgium had on most of you, but I was watching the show tonight with my 13 year old sis, and she said during the Belgium song on the recap that, this song was winning the semi :o lol she might've been right! :o that or Iceland I suppose....
May 25, 201015 yr Could see a nice mid-table upwards result for Albania off that! Iceland first or last please, with Ireland taking 24th or last tomorrow.
May 25, 201015 yr Greece need to send Antique again :P if they were still together yeah :P but I take Helena every second year if you ask me ;)
May 25, 201015 yr Is it only Austria that opted out of the competition for this year. :unsure: Austria haven't been in it since 2007. Andorra, Hungary, Czech Republic and Montenegro all dropped out...
May 25, 201015 yr if they were still together yeah :P but I take Helena every second year if you ask me ;) Shame they disbanded, although I love Helena too obv :) The Light In Your Soul is so beautiful
May 25, 201015 yr Hera Bjork is the final one for the night then...another late draw perhaps?! 1. 2. Spain 3. Norway 4. Moldova 5. 6. Bosnia-Herzegovina 7. Belgium 8. Serbia 9. Belarus 10. 11. Greece 12. United Kingdom 13. 14. 15. Albania 16. Iceland 17. 18. France 19. 20. Russia 21. 22. Germany 23. Portugal 24. 25. Will be great for Azerbaijan or Croatia if they can nab number 17!
May 25, 201015 yr Iceland could work fairly well off that, and #17 would be an absolute dream for Azerbaijan/Croatia.
May 25, 201015 yr oops Albania and Iceland similar tempo songs next to each other... will depend on what type of songs gonna perfom before and after them...
May 25, 201015 yr I think it's a shame Iceland and Albania have been drawn next to each other...both very uptempo and would've been better if they had been kept apart imo. Everything is very scattered around though which is good, and tbh, I don't think any of the slots left are particularly "bad", apart from opening the show. Just hoping Croatia don't get stuck with that!
May 25, 201015 yr Austria haven't been in it since 2007. Andorra, Hungary, Czech Republic and Montenegro all dropped out... Unlikely for Andorra, mind you its a very small country if they were to host :lol: Surprised at Hungary they had a couple of good tracks.
May 25, 201015 yr Author Since finland is out, Croatia enters my top 10 1. Norway 2. Belgium 3. Azerbaijan 4. Germany 5. Belarus 6. Moldova 7. Romania 8. Iceland 9. Switzerland 10. Croatia
May 25, 201015 yr If Ireland do qualify i hope they take the lower end positions, has anyone that performed first ever won?
May 25, 201015 yr MY IDEAL DRAW, based on SF2 qualifiers: Azerbaijan Sweden Armenia Romania Denmark Croatia Turkey Ireland Israel Georgia 1. Romania - strong uptempo opener, stops everyone from dying of boredom until Moldova 2. Spain 3. Norway 4. Moldova 5. Turkey - neutralised by being next to Bosnia and another up-tempo in Moldova 6. Bosnia-Herzegovina - neutralised by being next to Turkey, ensuring both steal votes off each other and Turkey misses top ten 7. Belgium 8. Serbia 9. Belarus 10. Armenia - distinguishes from Belarus, takes the ethnic shine off both Greece and Armenia, puts United Kingdom into sharp contrast for better or worse 11. Greece 12. United Kingdom 13. Georgia - something nice, dull and nondescript that we could hopefully play off of 14. Israel - a second, darker ballad which will be slightly distinguished from Georgia but hopefully knocked out of victory contention by preceding Albania 15. Albania 16. Iceland 17. Croatia - see 19 18. France 19. Azerbaijan - both of these would be a dream for either country - between two uptempos for 16/18 and two car crashes for 18/20, but I think this would be a better fit for both as Croatia are the more conventional ballad, whilst Azerbaijan is more a proper pop track, which should shine between two tracks which won't go down well at home 20. Russia 21. Sweden - after Russia will be perfect for Anna highlighting its class, and I think it's distinct enough from Germany to not act to the detriment of both by going here 22. Germany 23. Portugal 24. Ireland - not ideal to have Portugal before it, but going 2nd last could make Niamh a contender. 25. Denmark - a proper Sweden 2004-style AMAZING closer, which will stand out hugely from Ireland to the benefit of both I think this draw could open up the final results to a seven or eight horse race if I'm being honest!
May 25, 201015 yr Unlikely for Andorra, mind you its a very small country if they were to host :lol: Surprised at Hungary they had a couple of good tracks. Hungary got bailed out by the IMF and didn't even qualify last year. I'd say it was a pretty easy spending cut to make :P
