Semi-final 2 prediction
Qualifiers
I'm not a huge fan of this song, as I find it very generic, but it seems to be a huge favourite, so I'd say it will qualify
Another fan favourite. We'll be seeing this on Saturday too
Woah! This is something you'd hear on the radio! Straight to the top 10, and it might even be an outsider for the victory
No, we got drawn second! This is still a very good piano ballad. Juries will love it, and televoters are likely to put it through
The vocals are excellent, and the song is pretty good. This is definitely a dark horse.
It's been proven that Azerbaijan can fail, but I still think this will make it. I'm not sure if it will get Azerbaijan back to the top 10, but it's got a great chance of qualifying
This is quite middle-of-the-road, but she's got a good voice and the song is catchy enough. It will more or less get the same amount of votes from televoting and juries
I'm not a huge fan of this song, but as much as I don't want to admit it, it could just be the thing to get Latvia out of the gutter
There aren't many ethnopop songs this year, so this will stand out in the crowd. Will get more support from televoting
I'm surprised this isn't a favourite. I don't personally like it, but he has a great voice. Probably won't do as well as Norway 2014, but this could just sneak Cyprus into the final
Non-qualifiers -
What a shocker from Czech Republic! This will either just get in or just miss. Either way, it will definitely get Czechia out of the bottom 2. I will be voting for this on Thursday
Very cheesy, but not a bad performance. It won't be a complete flop, but I can't see it qualifying
I really don't like this song, but Malta does always have the upper hand with the juries. Can't see the televoters giving thks very much
Why do people hate this so much!? It's beautiful. Oh well
I quite like this song, but it's not something that will translate to a wider audience.
Very one note. Even drawn last, I can't the televoters taking much notice. This will probably end up just like Verjamem
This isn't a bad song in any way, but it has no defining factors. Her voice isn't outstanding, the song is pretty generic, and Switzerland has no allies whatsoever. They need to send more quirky stuff if they want to qualify again.
