May 9, 20232 yr Author What I want: Sweden Portugal Finland Netherlands Serbia Czechia Moldova Israel Norway Malta Switzerland Latvia Ireland Croatia Azerbaijan What I think: Finland Sweden Norway Israel Moldova Czechia Serbia Portugal Latvia Malta Switzerland Netherlands Croatia Ireland Azerbaijan
May 9, 20232 yr Who id like to qualify (bottom few not too fussed about) : Loreen Alessandra Wild Youth Noa Kirel Remo Forrer Vesna Mia Nicolai, Dion Cooper Kaarija The Busker TuranTuralX
May 9, 20232 yr The 5 id like to be thrown out the back door headfirst into the Mersey are: Azerbaijan, Croatia, Ireland, Latvia, and Switzerland. tbh I could swap Netherlands for Switzerland without losing any sleep. Otherwise the other 9 are fairly essentials for me.
May 9, 20232 yr Throwing all my support behind Finland and Serbia! I have no worries about the former, obviously, but hopefully the latter will be just fine too.
May 9, 20232 yr jeez uh I want 01. 🇳🇴 Alessandra - Queen of Kings 03. 🇷🇸 Luke Black - Samo mi se spava 04. 🇱🇻 Sudden Lights - Aijā 05. 🇵🇹 Mimicat - Ai coração 07. 🇭🇷 Let 3 - Mama ŠČ! 09. 🇮🇱 Noa Kirel - Unicorn 10. 🇲🇩 Pasha Parfeni - Soarele și luna 12. 🇦🇿 TuralTuranX - Tell Me More 13. 🇨🇿 Vesna - My Sister's Crown 15. 🇫🇮 Käärijä - Cha Cha Cha soz loreen fans she's 11th in this semi but it's close between her and Unicorn. Definitely losing something great though. Think: 01. 🇳🇴 Alessandra - Queen of Kings 02. 🇲🇹 The Busker - Dance (Our Own Party) 05. 🇵🇹 Mimicat - Ai coração 08. 🇨🇭 Remo Forrer - Watergun 09. 🇮🇱 Noa Kirel - Unicorn 10. 🇲🇩 Pasha Parfeni - Soarele și luna 11. 🇸🇪 Loreen - Tattoo 13. 🇨🇿 Vesna - My Sister's Crown 14. 🇳🇱 Mia Nicolai, Dion Cooper - Burning Daylight 15. 🇫🇮 Käärijä - Cha Cha Cha Would have Netherlands going out if they weren't so late on, gonna be an early wipeout for indie faves Serbia and Latvia I fear (oh and Croatia going out and Switzerland going through because of course viewers will choose the wrong anti-war song, I'm gonna pessimistic)
May 9, 20232 yr But yeah, Finland and Croatia and Latvia MASSIVE SUPPORT I NEED AT LEAST ONE OF THE LATTER TWO THROUGH PLEASE
May 9, 20232 yr want: 1: croatia 2: latvia 3: sebia 4: finland 5: czechia 6: moldova 7: portugal 8: azerbaijan 9: norway 10: malta (sweden is probably slightly better but that dnqing would be funny 🗿) think: 1: finland 2: sweden 3: croatia 4: norway 5: israel 6: moldova 7: czechia 8: serbia 9: malta 10: switzerland
May 9, 20232 yr Which of the Big5 + UA Are voting tonight? I know I have a vote tonight, and I think we’re with France but I can’t mind who the third is
May 9, 20232 yr Which of the Big5 + UA Are voting tonight? I know I have a vote tonight, and I think we’re with France but I can’t mind who the third is Yeah, it's France, Germany and Italy. Might be a minor boon to the smaller West Europe countries here but also quite possibly not.
May 9, 20232 yr Aaah thank you. Couldn’t mind if we were with Spain or Italy, just knew it wasn’t both or either of the U‘s Think FR and DE might benefit Croatia (Ikle Huftgold getting a big televote in the German NF says hi, as does Frances moustache) sadly. But DE should give FI a truck load of points. Think CH benefits the most from these 3 of the Big 5 being involved. Even tho the German public largely rejected this kinda crap at the NF it’ll probably pick up a few points from us and then there’s no way FR and IT don’t go for that in their droves
May 9, 20232 yr Just watching the dress rehearsal. Finland and Sweden are both awesome and the easy top two of this semi and I hope overall. The cheers for the former are insane. It’s a televote slayer for sure. Finland, Sweden, Israel, Norway, Croatia, Czechia and Portugal all feel safe from what I’ve seen here. I can’t decide who will get the other three spots. Netherlands if it had an earlier draw I’d think would be out, I’m not sure it sounds that great in the higher key, Switzerland felt like the slightly better ballad to me. I still think Malta will be in and probably Moldova! Ireland had a big cheer but there’s a good Irish crowd in here. I’ll guess the DNQs as Latvia (no chance imo), Serbia (this is early and dark, will it get the public votes), Ireland (but could see a case for it scraping in), Azerbaijan (charming but there was little buzz for it here) and one of Switzerland or Netherlands (not certain which ballad the public will prefer). Edited May 9, 20232 yr by gooddelta
May 9, 20232 yr The stronger semi for sure! Could possibly even have a Finland/Sweden/Norway top three in the final! On the other hand Croatia and Azerbaijan are horrendous and possibly some of the worst entries we’ve seen in years?! Hoping they don’t make it thru! I’m also interested to see if we get any ‘surprise’ qualifiers due to the votes only being televote for semis now. Croatia I fear could do it for sheer WTF factor
May 9, 20232 yr Going purely off studio versions with no knowledge of performances at all, I'm hoping for this: 1. 🇫🇮 Käärijä - Cha Cha Cha 2. 🇸🇪 Loreen - Tattoo 3. 🇳🇴 Alessandra - Queen of Kings 4. 🇷🇸 Luke Black - Samo mi se spava 5. 🇲🇩 Pasha Parfeni - Soarele și luna 6. 🇨🇿 Vesna - My Sister's Crown 7. 🇳🇱 Mia Nicolai, Dion Cooper - Burning Daylight 8. 🇮🇱 Noa Kirel - Unicorn 9. 🇱🇻 Sudden Lights - Aijā 10. 🇵🇹 Mimicat - Ai coração ----------- 11. 🇲🇹 The Busker - Dance (Our Own Party) 12. 🇨🇭 Remo Forrer - Watergun 13. 🇦🇿 TuralTuranX - Tell Me More 14. 🇮🇪 Wild Youth - We Are One 15. 🇭🇷 Let 3 - Mama ŠČ! As long as Finland, Sweden, Norway (which are surely guaranteed) and Serbia get through I'll be happy enough. At the other end, Azerbaijan and Ireland feel quite dated but aren't particularly awful. Normally I'm all for weird abrasive shit but I do not get Croatia this year x Edited May 9, 20232 yr by Ansel
May 9, 20232 yr I've not seen any rehearsals either but want: Norway, Serbia, Latvia, Portugal, Croatia, Israel, Moldova, Sweden, Czechia, Finland predict: Switzerland and Netherlands in place of Serbia and Latvia
