May 18, 20214 yr Prediction: 01. Lithuania: 'Discoteque' by The Roop 02. Slovenia: 'Amen' by Ana Soklič 03. Russia: 'Russian Woman' by Manizha 04. Sweden: 'Voices' by Tusse 05. Australia: 'Technicolour' by Montaigne 06. North Macedonia: 'Here I Stand' by Vasil 07. Ireland: 'Maps' by Lesley Roy 08. Cyprus: 'El Diablo' by Elena Tsagrinou 09. Norway: 'Fallen Angel' by TIX 10. Croatia: 'Tick-Tock' by Albina 11. Belgium: 'The Wrong Place' by Hooverphonic 12. Israel: 'Set Me Free' by Eden Alene 13. Romania: 'Amnesia' by Roxen 14. Azerbaijan: 'Mata Hari' by Efendi 15. Ukraine: 'Shum' by Go_A 16. Malta: 'Je me casse' by Destiny Israel and Croatia deserve to go through but I think they'll get swallowed up by a couple of others. I put Norway to DNQ originally but this semi is so female heavy that I think it might swing to his favour :/8 out of 10! I didn't get Belgium and their snoozefest or Israel (but wanted Israel to so I'm SO happy with being wrong on that). I think Ireland's performance was too ambitious for Lesley to pull off with solid vocals. I'm absolutely GUTTED for her. :( The song is so SO good. I also assumed Slovenia would swallow the juries votes, but I guess being in the death slot didn't help!
May 18, 20214 yr GET IN GO_A :cheer: :cheer: :cheeseblock: also i hate you for announcing them last (my pessimism was looking like it'd be justified for a while there) x Ireland, Croatia and Australia all deserved a spot in the final, but i suppose none of them were safe bets anyway
May 18, 20214 yr Australia will be returning with Dami next year for definite then. 😂 They’re poor qualification streak.
May 18, 20214 yr 9 out of 10! Predicted Croatia instead of Belgium. I think the Belgian performance was quite quirky and interesting though so happy for them. Pretty pleased with the result overall.
May 18, 20214 yr Australia will be returning with Dami next year for definite then. 😂 They’re poor qualification streak. I'm still manifesting them sending Samantha Jade
May 18, 20214 yr Ireland can't seem to get into the finals for quite some time now, it was catchy but the semi was pretty strong, Australian entry's was a poor effort this year, Norway, Lithuania, Belgium and Ukraine I suspected them to DNQ... oh well onto Thursday and see what goes through.
May 18, 20214 yr Author I think Lesley may have suffered from the delay in setting up her staging, my dad missed the whole perf thinking it was a break!
May 18, 20214 yr I probably would have sent Croatia, Romania and Australia through over Russia, Norway and Belgium. But other than that I’m SO happy that Israel made it! Also elated but not surprised to see Malta, Cyprus and Azerbaijan go through.
May 18, 20214 yr Did no one in the norwegian delegation explain to TIX what to expect when you qualify? :lol: Didn't seem like he knew what to do during the allocation draw
May 18, 20214 yr Omg i actually managed to predict all 10 here post-performances. I almost chose Croatia over Sweden but switched last minute.
May 18, 20214 yr Gutted that Ireland, Australia and Croatia missed out (especially Ireland), but at least the other songs in my Top 10 of this semi-final made it
May 18, 20214 yr Omg wtf I didn't watch the semi at all but I just randomly stumbled upon the Ukrainian performance and I'm kinda obsessed widdit lmao
May 18, 20214 yr I'm not going to say that it explains the DNQ entirely but I felt like Croatia got the outfits so wrong. The theme of the staging was fine, but the national final and the music video were both so reliant on an attractive singer and attractive dancers, and the outfits distracted so much from that. Albina felt very anonymous under the clothes. She still should have qualified but I feel like one or two decisions being taken differently could have seen her through.
May 18, 20214 yr Croatia should have gone through but with so many upbeat bangers I think it just got lost.
May 18, 20214 yr No losses for me, well Australia and Ireland I did want to Q but I did know they would't sadly :( Croatia I'm a bit surprised at. I didn't expect Israel to Q but I'm so glad for Eden because she absolutely KILLED it, those effortless whistle notes!! So glad Destiny smashed it!! The staging was way better than it looked to be from rehearsal.
