May 21, 200817 yr Author Anyone else to predict for Thursday's semi-final, or change them if you've already predicted? ^_^ I think I'll leave mine for now. @D
May 21, 200817 yr I changed mine: THURSDAY'S SEMI-FINAL + Iceland + Sweden + Turkey + Ukraine - Lithuania - Albania + Switzerland - Czech Republic - Belarus + Latvia - Croatia + Bulgaria - Denmark + Georgia - Hungary + Malta - Cyprus - FYR Macedonia + Portugal** **- by a jury
May 21, 200817 yr My altered predictions for semi #2: Iceland Sweden Turkey Ukraine Albania Switzerland Bulgaria Hungary Malta Portugal
May 21, 200817 yr My predictions: Iceland Ukraine Sweden Bulgaria Switzerland Denmark Turkey Malta Portugal Latvia I'm not entirely sure, I was stuck deciding whether to go for Hungary, Portugal or Latvia. I would hope Czech Republic qualify, but I doubt it. :( Edited: Switched Hungary for Portugal Edited May 21, 200817 yr by Adi_Gallia
May 21, 200817 yr Portugal are DEFINITELY through from those rehearsals so far, she'll do a Norway :heart: I think Denmark is too catchy for its own good tbh :(
May 21, 200817 yr Ah ok, I've got rid of Hungary for Portugal, it's a shame, I hope they are a surprise qualifier as I have a soft spot for their song. I think I'll stick with Denmark, but I can see where you're coming from I think.
May 21, 200817 yr I think the second one's much harder as there are about 14 songs that could qualify...here are my current predictions Iceland Sweden Turkey Ukraine Switzerland Bulgaria Georgia Hungary FYR Macedonia Portugal there is a very strong opening four in this final which could prove the early draw theories wrong if they all qualify which I think they will...Bulgaria and Portugal are guaranteed too I would say...I think Switzerland and Hungary will pick up the sophisticated ballad vote and FYR Macedonia will get the urban vote as there are no other tracks like it in this semi...Georgia I think will come 9th, I think she'll have more public support than Corinna May Latvia might fall foul to the novelty backlash and Morena's song is perhaps just a bit too frantic for Malta to qualify...I think they'll finish 11th
May 21, 200817 yr 6 out of ten, not too bad ^_^ I think I'll change thursdays semi.... THURSDAY'S SEMI-FINAL Iceland Sweden Turkey Ukraine Switzerland Latvia Bulgaria Georgia Malta Portugal Actually......it's ok the way it is, I'm a tad worried about Georgia and Malta but I think they'll pull through. ^_^ Edited May 21, 200817 yr by Sabrewulf238
May 21, 200817 yr I think FYR Macedonia not qualifying would be a big shock actually :o I think they might get more than just neighbour votes this year as they are performing near the end, and the song's completely different to everything else in the semi...
May 21, 200817 yr How have their rehearsals gone? :o Are they anywhere near as bad as the NF performance? :eek:
May 22, 200817 yr Author Anyone else? I've decided I'm going to switch Latvia with Macedonia - another novelty song to fall I'm hoping. :D
May 22, 200817 yr I might aswell have a go, although tbh i don't have a clue :w00t: Iceland Sweden Turkey Ukraine Bulgaria Denmark Hungary Malta FYR Macedonia Portugal
May 22, 200817 yr There's mine. Semi Final 2 Qualifiers: Albania Belarus Croatia Denmark FYR Macedonia Iceland Malta Portugal Sweden (jury vote) Ukraine OK this one is alot harder than semi-final one. As much because of bad points as good ones. I would say Ukraine and Portugal are the only certain qualifiers, and Malta and Belarus will probably manage it as well, although it's not 100% certain. I can see Europe going for Croatia alot more than Latvia's pirates, as they do give a very polished performance, and it's quite sweet. FYR Macedonia have a good draw, a contemporary song and friendly neighbours in this semi, Denmark put in an enjoyable performance of a catchy song, and Albania could be the surprise here, as it is very pleasant coming in the middle of Lithuania's horror and Switzerland's disaster, which I now know will not get the jury vote. Also, Iceland as the fantastic show opener looks pretty likely to qualify, and it would be horrible if they didn't. Unfortunately, I can see Euroband majorly overshadowing Sweden which, thanks to its draw and the fact it pales into insignificance coming after Iceland, could find itself doing a Kate Ryan if it weren't for the jury vote, which I feel confident it will get. I'm totally devastated that Switzerland will probably not qualify :cry: Edited May 22, 200817 yr by Peter30
May 22, 200817 yr Why wont Switzerland qualify? I think (apart from Sweden) it's one of the most hyped over and likely to qualify songs in the semi-final. Like David, I'm hoping Latvia fail to qualify, to make room for Hungary/Czech Republic (realistically it would be FYR Macedonia though). I think I'm sticking with my guesses though.
May 22, 200817 yr I'm switching Switzerland for Macedonia as well :o The rehearsals for Switzerland have been...quite horrific tbh Aaron, hence the lack of confidence in qualification for them these days :(
May 22, 200817 yr In which case I'll change Switzerland for FYR Macedonia too: Iceland Ukraine Sweden Bulgaria FYR Macedonia Denmark Turkey Malta Portugal Latvia I'm glad Switzerland are likely to fail as I really haven't been able to get into it even though everyone else seems to love it.
May 22, 200817 yr right, here are my FINAL predictions for semi-2 and the ones you must use David to calculate how many I get right: Iceland Sweden Turkey Ukraine Bulgaria Georgia Hungary FYR Macedonia Portugal Denmark sorry Paolo, I've replaced him for Denmark...still think Malta and Latvia have a chance too but have left them out
May 22, 200817 yr Author THURSDAY'S SEMI-FINAL Iceland Sweden Turkey Ukraine Albania Switzerland Bulgaria Georgia FYR Macedonia Portugal 7/10 for me. ^_^ THURSDAY'S SEMI-FINAL Iceland Turkey Ukraine Albania Switzerland * Czech Republic Bulgaria Hungary Macedonia Portugal * if Sweden goes through than no Swiss :P 5/10 for Boyan.
