May 13, 201510 yr I suspect that there will be some pyrotechnics and dry ice in later rehearsals as it does look quite plain, it got such a good reaction that I assume the whole performance in full is more than what we see there anyway. I'd like to think so because that is not a memorable performance from the clip. And in the ballad heavy first half of semi 2 a memorable performance could make the difference between qualifying or not. That said I still think Norway's song is strong enough for them to qualify but a forgettable perf could see them closer to 10th than 1st.
May 13, 201510 yr The live stream is playing 'Narodnozabavni Rock', help us all! *.* That doesn't look great from Norway, I hope there is something more in the performance to counteract that because I don't want to consider the thought of it being anywhere near the cutoff zone, it should be one of those in this semi that is straight through no questions asked.
May 13, 201510 yr Holy shit the Czechs sound incredible (poossibly because they come after Portugal but still). I think they're qualifying!
May 13, 201510 yr Author I think Lithuania, Norway, Montenegro and Czech Republic will qualify from today. Molly is going to be so close and probably 11th, but considering the strength of the second half I think she'll be forgotten. Azerbaijan, Iceland, Sweden, Cyprus, Slovenia and Poland are my predicted qualifiers from the second half at the moment so we'll see if that changes after tomorrow!
May 13, 201510 yr Author Ooh Malta are taking things seriously (as always :wub:) and have had pyrotechnics in their first rehearsal! http://www.eurovision.tv/save-files/resizes/cb/20/12/16/64/6f/d8/82/b4/5c/02/6d/d4/9a/83/9c/IMG_1286_EV.jpg
May 13, 201510 yr Holy shit the Czechs sound incredible (poossibly because they come after Portugal but still). I think they're qualifying! Already preparing the celebrations :D Getting 'better Never Forget' vibes from that, that, a similarly themed song, had the potential to have this sort of staging and wasted it on looking quite boring, this looks alive!
May 13, 201510 yr I genuinely hope Czech Republic don't qualify - sounds like an Eastern European Nickleback - YUCK! I don't think we'll be seeing them on Saturday... In actual fact, the entire first half of this semi is predominantly a heap of painful dross. Thank god the second half is a COMPLETE U-Turn! Edited May 13, 201510 yr by ScottyEm
May 13, 201510 yr Last couple of years including Joan etc #flop Anouk #9 The Common Linnets #2 The next couple of years including Trijntje #flop Shame, such a shame..
May 14, 201510 yr Author Looks good, the final would really benefit from having this song in it but I just can't see it happening.
May 14, 201510 yr Potential HOT DANCERS ALERT Yup! https://scontent-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-x...amp;oe=55D2F8D9 ;)
May 14, 201510 yr Author Iceland apparently probable non-qualifiers as things stand, big improvements needed! Come on Maria!
