March 18, 201312 yr You forgot about Slovenia in Semifinal 1 Wish : SF 1 Estonia Lithuania Serbia Belgium Cyprus Netherlands Denmark Ireland Croatia Moldova SF 2 Finland Switzerland San Marino Iceland Azerbaijan Latvia Romania Macedonia Latvia Hungary

That is unless we get a 95/96 style scenario where Germany take the victory despite sounding like the previous winner or we have a 2001 scenario where a song comes completely from nowhere to take it. To me though, it definitely feels like Denmark's turn to win again.
March 18, 201312 yr Based on my (highly inacurate) first impressions I think: Semi 1 Qualifiers Slovenia Russia Ukraine Denmark Netherlands Ireland Moldova Serbia Lithuania Belarus Semi 2 Qualifiers Malta Azerbaijan Finland Bulgaria Greece Norway Israel Georgia Albania Switzerland Final 01 Russia 02 Norway 03 Germany 04 Sweden 05 Denmark 06 Ukraine 07 Greece 08 Azerbaijan 09 Georgia 10 Italy 11 Bulgaria 12 Belarus 13 Netherlands 14 Finland 15 Moldova 16 Slovenia 17 Albania 18 Ireland 19 United Kingdom 20 Serbia 21 Israel 22 Malta 23 Switzerland 24 Lithuania 25 Spain 26 France
March 29, 201312 yr My predictions for semi 1: 1. Russia 140 2. Denmark 131 3. Ukraine 113 4. Serbia 110 5. Belarus 97 6. Austria 85 7. Netherlands 83 8. Montenegro 66 9. Moldova 59 10.

March 30, 201312 yr Predict: Winner : Norway (55 - 70 points over the second place) Second place : Germany Third place : Italy / Sweden Bookmakers favourite : Denmark (not higher, than # 5) Home country : Russia (# 10 - 12. Only shameful neighbours voting and nothing from Western Europe) Personal favourites : Finland (DNQ, similar results with "Congratulations"), Estonia (DNQ) Unpredictable dark horse : United Kingdom (based on artist : top 10, based on ESC hate for United Kingdom : bottom 3 in final) Why Ukraine is so high, they sent shit every year ?

March 30, 201312 yr Not going to do full predictions with points and stuff just yet, as there are some songs I can't even remember, as I've not listened to them enough. I've got a pretty good idea though, so here goes... First Semi Final Austria Estonia Slovenia Croatia Denmark Russia Ukraine Netherlands Montenegro Lithuania Belarus Moldova Ireland Cyprus Belgium Serbia This was easier than I thought, picking the ten qualifiers. I genuinely don't think the running order matters that much in a field of so little songs. The favourites should all prosper, and I can't see there being any upsets in particular. I reckon Belgium might just miss out, but it's a dire song anyway, so it won't be missed from the final. Serbia will probably win the semi final, and I can see them doing well in the final. It's a great song, and they'll hoover up the votes from their neighbours here. A lot of people are doubting Austria, but it's such a good song, that I really can't see it failing to qualify. In fact, I can see them finishing top five in the final. In a Maria Haukaas Storeng sort of way. Second Semi Final Latvia San Marino FYR Macedonia Azerbaijan Finland Malta Bulgaria Iceland Greece Israel Armenia Hungary Norway Albania Georgia Switzerland Romania San Marino are definitely qualifying. I don't care what anybody says. If Armenia had sent that song, and they were performing second, everyone would have them down for winning this semi final I should think. And after 2011, we all know that Armenia aren't this beast that everyone had them down to be! I can also see them falling short this year, with Azerbaijan and Georgia finishing towards the top end of the scoreboard on May 18th. Maybe I've taken a bit of a risk sending Greece, Switzerland and Romania all through here, but in a field where there are so many dire songs, then it's certainly possible. Macedonia would probably have made it in the other semi final, but with only points from Albania guaranteed here, I can't see it. Hungary might do better perhaps, but I can't actually remember that song, so it obviously didn't make much of an impression on me.

Yeah, it's on last and a pretty memorable hot mess of a performance, but the hook isn't particularly strong, it's in Serbian, and there's so much else that's more accessible in the semi...
March 30, 201312 yr SF1 Austria Croatia Denmark Estonia Netherlands Russia Slovenia Ukraine ---------- Belarus Belgium Cyprus Ireland Lithuania Moldova Montenegro Serbia Taking a stab in the dark with Lithuania, but confident about the other 9. SF2 Azerbaijan Bulgaria Finland Iceland Latvia FYR Macedonia Malta San Marino ------------ Albania Armenia Georgia Greece Hungary Israel Norway Romania Switzerland Very hard to choose, might get this completely wrong, most of the entries merge into a big messy meh so could go many ways on the night. I think Iceland and Romania will battle it out for the 10th place. Edited March 30, 201312 yr by ScottyEm
March 30, 201312 yr Semi 2, again with points. Probably highly inaccurate, especially as Romania would go through. :puke2: Georgia 137 Azerbaijan 113 Bulgaria 110 Norway 105 Israel 93 San Marino 85 Finland 71 Romania 64 Latvia 62 Malta 54 (11 countries voting) -------------------------------------------- Greece 54 (10 countries voting) Iceland 43 Hungary 42 Armenia 39 Macedonia 32 Switzerland 29 Albania 27
March 30, 201312 yr While i am not a huge fan of our song this year im happy to see that many of you think Ireland will qualify for the final, the final is much more exciting when your own country is fighting it out!!
April 26, 201312 yr Semi One Revised Prediction (Avec Points) 01 Denmark 140 02 Ukraine 118 03 Russia 107 04 Serbia 93 05 Belarus 87 06 Netherlands 78 07 Ireland 74 08 Croatia 70 09 Montenegro 62 10 Slovenia 53 --- 11 Moldova 52 12 Belgium 44 13 Austria 43 14 Lithuania 37 15 Estonia 19 16 Cyprus 15 Cyprus and Estonia are both dead in the water (Estonia because it's forgettable with a poor draw and Cyprus because it's nice enough but most of it's 'friends' are in the other semi). I don't know if Moldova missing out counts as a 'shock' or not but I think putting the song into Romanian will be slightly restrictive on any mass appeal and this semi's so competitive they'll miss out to Slovenia by a whisker. Montenegro will get through as it's already a hit around the ex-Yugoslav countries plus it's a great WTF in a good way after the competent but slow first half. Beyond that it's mostly been covered already, Denmark win the Semi final with Ukraine and Russia snapping at their heals.
April 26, 201312 yr ^ I think that's a pretty realistic prediction. I'd imagine (and hope) the Netherlands would be a little bit higher but I wouldn't be too shocked to see it finish that low.
April 26, 201312 yr ^ I think that's a pretty realistic prediction. I'd imagine (and hope) the Netherlands would be a little bit higher but I wouldn't be too shocked to see it finish that low. I think Netherlands will be anywhere between 4th and 8th, depends if the wind (machine) is good or not.
April 26, 201312 yr Yeah, I think anything from 4th to 10th is interchangeable. I'd like Belgium and Austria to qualify, but I can't see that happening. :(
