To me it's still sounds like 'the one' but you never know. The running order will be crucial this year as it was in 2011. (R.I.P. 'Popular'). Hungary and Sweden will give us a run for our money. I've resigned to Armenia doing well but it really does nothing for me. I'll be so disappointed if it wins. And Denmark is bound to do well surely?
April 26, 201411 yr Author Semi One 01 Armenia 02 Hungary 03 Sweden 04 Ukraine 05 Azerbaijan 06 Montenegro 07 Estonia 08 The Netherlands 09 Latvia 10 Moldova 11 Russia 12 Albania 13 Iceland 14 Portugal 15 Belgium 16 San Marino Semi Two 01 Norway 02 Malta 03 Greece 04 Austria 05 Romania 06 Poland 07 Israel 08 Slovenia 09 Finland 10 Switzerland 11 Ireland 12 Lithuania 13 Belarus 14 Macedonia 15 Georgia 01 United Kingdom 02 Malta 03 Hungary 04 Armenia 05 Sweden 06 Ukraine 07 Azerbaijan 08 Norway 09 Greece 10 Austria 11 Denmark 12 Spain 13 Estonia 14 Poland 15 France 16 Italy 17 Montenegro 18 Romania 19 Israel 20 Slovenia 21 Germany 22 Latvia 23 Moldova 24 Finland 25 The Netherlands 26 Switzerland
April 26, 201411 yr I'll have my first go at predictions then: Semi 1 01 154 Hungary 02 132 Sweden 03 105 Ukraine 04 98 Iceland 05 87 Armenia 06 78 Portugal 07 69 Estonia 08 65 Azerbaijan 09 58 Montenegro 10 52 Latvia ---- 11 51 Russia 12 46 Moldova 13 39 The Netherlands 14 28 Albania 15 25 Belgium 16 15 San Marino This is so difficult because the only certain DNQer I can pick out is poor Val. Belgium I've ticked off as it really is too dreary to appeal to most (personal opinion coming into this yay) and based solely on how our last two entries have done, there really isn't much of the silver vote these days which he might otherwise benefit from. Albania being a Shakira-impersonator feels like it could win her a few points but it's probably out, and Netherlands might well be just a little slow, I could easily swap it with Montenegro though, it seems like it's one of those. Poor Moldova could be too emo to make it this time (:cry:) and Russia is almost literally another 'I'm Still Alive', it's only because it's Russia that it's even in contention. Hence I'm going to put it as just missing out, as Latvia is far more likely to win votes outside the sphere of former SSRs by being cheery and slightly novelty. Hungary, Sweden and Ukraine are the main wide-appeal pop songs in here and I think Iceland might hit the right buttons with this one, as well as Portugal being a bit of Latino fun. Finally, I don't care how they cheat, I can only see Azerbaijan just sneaking through on the strength of the song hitting first time listeners (although this might depend on the staging, if they go all fiery as is possible it'll have more of a chance). Semi Final 2 01 115 Romania 02 112 Norway 03 110 Malta 04 106 Greece 05 100 Austria 06 70 Slovenia 07 70 Finland 08 69 Poland 09 60 Israel 10 58 Switzerland -- 11 56 FYR Macedonia 12 48 Ireland 13 45 Lithuania 14 17 Georgia 15 08 Belarus I imagine it being a lot closer towards the top of this semi, and I think the 3 former SSRs are going to come last, Georgia and Belarus have quite limited-appeal songs and Lithuania might be a bit too shouty (even if it does have its fans, sorry Jack and Rich). Ireland and Macedonia meanwhile are the bottom 2 of a fairly strong top 12 in this semi. Israel and Switzerland will probably have a tough time and could be swapped out. Going a bit out on a limb with Slovenia and Finland but I could conceivably see them doing about that, and Poland should get through then do better in the final. Top 5 are the five songs that should appeal to a lot of people and should do fairly well in the final. So: 01 Hungary 02 United Kingdom 03 Sweden 04 Norway 05 Romania 06 Malta 07 Denmark 08 Greece 09 Austria 10 Armenia 11 Ukraine 12 Spain 13 Azerbaijan 14 Iceland 15 Poland 16 Portugal 17 Israel 18 Latvia 19 France 20 Italy 21 Slovenia 22 Estonia 23 Switzerland 24 Montenegro 25 Finland 26 Germany
April 26, 201411 yr I'm still unsure of Molly's chances to win. Even the UK public don't seem keen, usually an a-listed Radio 2 song will find it's way into the lower end of the iTunes top 100 at least. Molly at the moment isn't even in the top 300! So I do wonder if the lack of interest will be represented across Europe but I hope not because she deserves a great result. I'd still be incredibly shocked if she won though, the victory buzz just isn't there :( I think we'll get lots of 4's and 5's and a respectable mid-low top ten finish.
April 26, 201411 yr I don't think any song has 'the victory buzz' at the moment though, certainly nothing like 'Euphoria' or 'Only Teardrops'.
April 26, 201411 yr Author Exactly, there's still some variables (like running order and performance set up) that mean we can't know for sure but 'Children Of The Universe' is the only song that has any scent of 'oh this is the winner' about it. Plus, the pre-contest buzz counts for nothing come the final score (one only needs to look at 2011 for confirmation of this).
April 26, 201411 yr I don't think the UK would notice even if we WERE onto a winner though, that's how little attention we pay to the contest beforehand. Obviously if the song was blowing up now that'd be as sure a sign as any that we were onto a winner, but I don't think that's necessary for us to win. In any case, it's the most wide open year in a long time - even moreso than 2011. I can't see us not being top five given the absolute shower we're up against this year.
May 1, 201411 yr Here are my updated predictions following what I've seen and read of the first rehearsals. I might change them again in a few days though :P First Semi Final 01 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Armenia.png Armenia 02 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Azerbaijan.png Azerbaijan 03 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Ukraine.png Ukraine 04 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Hungary.png Hungary 05 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Sweden.png Sweden 06 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Russia.png Russia 07 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Belgium.png Belgium 08 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Montenegro.png Montenegro 09 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Estonia.png Estonia 10 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Iceland.png Iceland 11 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Moldova.png Moldova 12 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Portugal.png Portugal 13 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Netherlands.png The Netherlands 14 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Latvia.png Latvia 15 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/San_Marino.png San Marino 16 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Albania.png Albania I am definitely sure about my top 6 qualifying and I'm slightly more sure of Estonia's qualification after the very positive reviews of Tanja's rehearsal. I originally had Armenia 3rd in this semi-final but I still believe that the odds are correct and 'Not Alone' will win the contest so I think if that's the case, a semi-final victory is the most likely result too. The Netherlands is the most unpredictable country in this semi final for me, it could easily end up as high as 7th as well as nearly last but as it is next to Montenegro in the running order, I think that is going to work against The Netherlands which is why I've predicted them to miss out. Second Semi Final 01 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Greece.png Greece 02 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Romania.png Romania 03 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Austria.png Austria 04 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Norway.png Norway 05 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Switzerland.png Switzerland 06 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Finland.png Finland 07 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Malta.png Malta 08 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Poland.png Poland 09 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Lithuania.png Lithuania 10 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Belarus.png Belarus 11 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Georgia.png Georgia 12 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Israel.png Israel 13 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/FYR_Macedonia.png F.Y.R. Macedonia 14 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Ireland.png Ireland 15 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Slovenia.png Slovenia The second semi final is very difficult to predict. Aside from my top 3 who will definitely qualify, I can see all the other countries having a chance of qualifying or not qualifying. Georgia's memorable staging will increase their chances but I think they will still just miss out. There is always a surprise and despite Mei's fantastic rehearsal I still feel that Israel are the most likely surprise non-qualifier. If 'Attention' represented any other country I would probably have it last, but Lithuania always seem to manage surprise qualifications recently so I'm going to say they will qualify. Ireland really shouldn't be finishing next to last but based on the reactions to their rehearsal yesterday, it doesn't sound promising at all and I can see it getting a bit lost from it's place in the middle of the running order.

May 6, 201411 yr Final predictions for tonight's semi 1. Hungary 2. Armenia 3. Ukraine 4. Azerbaijan 5. Sweden 6. Montenegro 7. Iceland 8. Belgium 9. Portugal 10. Russia ------------------ 11. The Netherlands 12. Estonia 13. Moldova 14. Latvia 15. Albania 16. San Marino I'd say Hungary, Armenia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Sweden are the definite qualifiers tonight and Albania and San Marino are gonna DNQ. But the others I'm really not too sure on.
May 6, 201411 yr Here are my final predictions for tonight's semi final too! Not too many changes from my prediction above. First Semi Final 01 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Armenia.png Armenia 02 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Azerbaijan.png Azerbaijan 03 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Ukraine.png Ukraine 04 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Hungary.png Hungary 05 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Russia.png Russia 06 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Sweden.png Sweden 07 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Montenegro.png Montenegro 08 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Estonia.png Estonia 09 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Iceland.png Iceland 10 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Belgium.png Belgium 11 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Moldova.png Moldova 12 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Netherlands.png The Netherlands 13 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Portugal.png Portugal 14 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Latvia.png Latvia 15 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/San_Marino.png San Marino 16 http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Albania.png Albania
May 6, 201411 yr I don't think, that Hungary is 100 % qualifier. Most my favourites would die tonight. :(
May 7, 201411 yr Final predictions for tonight's semi 1. Hungary 2. Armenia 3. Ukraine 4. Azerbaijan 5. Sweden 6. Montenegro 7. Iceland 8. Belgium 9. Portugal 10. Russia ------------------ 11. The Netherlands 12. Estonia 13. Moldova 14. Latvia 15. Albania 16. San Marino Not too shabby! Did anyone predict San Marino to qualify? I imagine she must've been the lucky 10th place.
May 7, 201411 yr Semi One 1 Armenia 2 Sweden 3 Ukraine 4 Montenegro 5 Netherlands 6 Belgium 7 Hungary 8 Azerbaijan 9 Moldova 10 San Marino (I feel that San Marino will qualify this year because of her 3rd participation) 11 Estonia 12 Albania 13 Russia (I think that Russia will not qualify this year /I smell a boycott..) 14 Latvia 15 Iceland 16 Portugal Not so bad..Molvoda didn't qualify because her perfomance was quite average. I didn't expect Iceland to be in the final because it hasn't the best song. I was sure about San Marino this year! Edited May 7, 201411 yr by Insomnio
