May 13May 13 Just like last year, I have a dance class so will miss most of the livestream. To be honest this is the first time ever that I have not gotten into the Eurovision mood and I doubt it will change until Israel is out of the competition.
May 13May 13 On my way to the afternoon rehearsal for this now! Rooting heavily for Justyna, there’s like a 10% chance in my brain that she’s a shock out but I truly believe she’s such an insane performer, that can’t possibly happen.It FEELS like there’s 9 obvious qualifiers (Poland, Estonia, Ukraine, Sweden, Norway, Belgium, Albania, Netherlands and Cyprus) and one spot to play for. But it’ll be interesting to see if there’s any shocks, it’s very rarely as clean cut as we often assume!Happy Eurovision everyone ❤️
May 13May 13 Excited to kick off ESC! Really rooting for San Marino and Iceland in the first semi final and let’s see what make it. I’m leaning more toward SF2 as the better semi but let’s see how that pans out
May 13May 13 WAIIIITTTT how is everyone predicting Iceland to do so badly/not qualify? Lmao.I really think they're Jedwarding (2009) it! I really think it's finishing top 10 in the final!
May 13May 13 Everything I hear about Iceland from the rehearsals is positive, I think they can make it, and it's certainly got some of the most energy in this semi. It is the one of my favourites I'm most worried about though, so will likely be glued to the screen hoping for them.Thinking Slovenia could well also be in. There's nothing like it in the semi.I could see Poland, Estonia, Cyprus, Belgium all potentially failing if things don't go right for them.
May 13May 13 Nah, Estonia will be on the safe side. It's one of the most streamed entries this year and is currently charting in 5 countries on Spotify and 7 countries on AM. For reference, Sweden is 6 (Spotify) and 10 (AM), although it's charting very high in most of those so expect a huge boost after the semi. Edited May 13May 13 by Sour Candy
May 13May 13 True but it's always been a bit awkward live as a song. It'll probably be safe though.Ukraine is another one that might be in danger, we often think it won't because it's Ukraine but they scored low on the audience and press poll. Would be a real shame but it's a much more of a grower track.
May 13May 13 The Vocal in the rehearsal video for Ukraine was very patchy.I’m hoping a fair number of acts manage to defy the odds. As a lot of the favourites, or songs expected to do welll are kinda sh!te.Belgium is a banger though!
May 13May 13 Cyprus is the one I'm questioning currently if any shocks are to go through.Like I could see space being made for Iceland and Slovenia, but for that to happen then some 'safe' stuff would have to fall. Ukraine's diaspora power, Estonia's virality (this will be a post-contest hit) and Belgium's brilliant staging should be enough to see them all through, and Poland is the only solo female performer - that has to count for something, espcially as it is an eye-catching performance of a decent song.Cyprus is fine but has other songs going for the same votes, for me the main thing in its favour is that it's up last (probably as the producers saw the staging and wanted to end on a spectacle). If it was in the first five though I'd be seriously questioning its chances.
May 13May 13 I really hope Iceland can make it through and qualify! It's in my top 5 this year. I'm going to Basel with a silver suit, so I need them in the final! I hope my own country qualifies as well, but I'm a bit worried!

May 13May 13 I am ready and waiting to be entertained.Going into tonight with probably the least amount of time following the build up in over ten years so in a way I'm more excited for some potential surprises tonight. One of the ones I'm most looking forward to seeing the staging of tonight though is Switzerland with the magical camerawork they've got.Shock non qualifier if there's going to be one...I'd probably go for one of Cyprus or at an outside chance Norway if there's not enough room for them and Belgium. Maybe Ukraine but realistically their diaspora is still going to show up no matter what (and lowkey we need them to help suppress the Israeli televote on Saturday so I don't begrudge that too much).
May 13May 13 Feel like I've paid the contest even less attention than usual this year, mostly because Sweden has let me down (soz KAJ fans x), so I'm excited to see what will become my favourite of the year!
