I have a feeling Montenegro might be the surprise qualifier tonight.

okay i voted the max amount of times but it's just 4 EUR in total. Like what

Never a good time to be reminded of the only good Italian entry since their return *.*

 

(Excluding Fai Rumore)

Estonia giving us some Western guitar strums in the verses. Wow!

Loved Georgia (9/10)

#2-#5 were also great (8/10), #6-#11 coming close. #12-#15 were solid. #16-#18 were okay.

Now having seen the whole show, I'm putting Cyprus out and San Marino in and I so want to put Azerbaijan out in favour of Belgium but I still think that'll sneak it.

 

Pre show Qualifier Predictions:

 

Sweden - never in doubt

Czech Republic - elevated the song with the staging, sorted out the vocal mixing and a strong closer

Serbia - the subtitles they've added at various points will help people "get it" on first viewing that maybe wouldn't have done without them

Australia - is probably through on jury votes alone but seems like they've done all they can to get a decent televote (for Australia)

Poland - less sure this is a big contender like some thought it might be but should be safe enough

 

...and after this I'm feeling like a lot of this is very "on the cusp"

Finland - should be a big impactful opening but it wouldn't surprise me if this is the shock non qualifier and there's a lot for a jury to mark down

Ireland - Elevated to the best it could be and really stands out in the middle of the semi

Azerbaijan - the song is very middle of the road but it's well sung and staged AND this is Azerbaijan

Estonia - there's enough there quality wise but I feel like this might be a it of the UK syndrome where people like it but not enough for it to be in people's top 3-5 to make them televote for it AND the jury have got other priorities in this semi.

Cyprus - JUST sneaking in on the basis of nothing else really being in this one's lane AND pretty effective staging but would not be surprised to see this as a surprise loss

 

Cuspily Out

San Marino - the call between this and Cyprus is I think the jury will swing behid Cyprus a bit more AND Cyprus's televote starting point is that much higher than San Marino's effective 0 without Italy voting. Wouldn't mind this knocking out Estonia/Finland but my gut says a "only superfans will know this" treat this will remain!

Belgium - with Australia, Poland and Azerbaijan already through, I don't think there will be room for Belgium in the big male jury bait songs. Plus Sweden and Czechia really memory hole this.

Romania - ultimately all it's ever really been has been an endearingly camp naffbop. If Albania were victims of death by juries, I don't think Llamame can overcome the hurdles in front of it.

Israel - kind of the same deal as Romania, only without the balkan vote advantage

 

And it's been lovely having you but time's up...

Malta

Georgia

Montenegro

North Macedonia

 

 

 

I voted for Cornelia, obviously, Sweden’s best entry in many years <3 hasn’t lost any of its shine since Melfest, even if the camera angles weren’t *quite* as on point.

 

That said I did love Too Late For Love myself.

 

A solid semi overall. It does feel like Sweden and Poland outclassed everyone else.
