Eurovision 2018 • Result Prediction Game

I made a ScoreWIZ board for both semis


SF1

01. Estonia 421 - IN
Well, it's in, and I honestly believe that this won the semi final. Almost no doubt in my mind.

02. Israel 414 - IN
First of all, I'm glad this is in the final. Did it finish in 2nd? Definitely not. It was a weak performance of a strong song. Probably 4th or 5th.

03. Cyprus 276 - IN
Oh fuck. I'll be honest, I just don't like the song. I feared the hype it's now getting as soon as I heard the song for the first time. This probably did finish around 3rd in the semi, though, yeah.

04. Bulgaria 244 - IN
Yes, that was obvious. I think this probably finished 2nd-4th, so I'm glad this was my guess.

05. Czechia 203 - IN
As expected, it's in. I suspect this might've finished lower, maybe far lower, than 5th, so I'm not totally happy with this guess... But there's one prediction that I just wish I had never made.

06. Belgium 142 - OUT
WHAT. Her vocals were not on point, and I told my brother "if this doesn't qualify, Albania will, because it'll be overshadowing it. And I would love that to happen". But I knew there was no way. Wow, I'm still in shock, but I guess this is it, Belgium's out.

07. Finland 138 - IN
I told you, betting odds. I think I got this right. This was a good performance, I'm not sure it's in my top 10 of the semi, but it would be nice to see Finland in the final for a change... Perhaps beat Softengine's result??

08. Armenia 108 - OUT
Wow, this actually shocked me although I kept saying how Armenia's qualification is not secure. He had a legit live performance. Vocals on point. Come on.

09. Greece 102 - OUT
Ahhhh. I told both Florian and Luca that this will be the shock non-qualifier, but in the ScoreWIZ, it all changed. Damn it.

10. Austria 91 - IN
YEAH! Damn right, Cesár. Well deserved. The performance was near perfect and would only improve by grand final night. Slay. I think it might've finished around 7th in the SF with this performance.

11. Albania 65 - IN!!!!!
FORGET THIS PREDICTION FORGET EVERYTHING HE IS INNN!!! YESSSSSS!!!!

12. Azerbaijan 60 - OUT
I told you so lol. I think I got the placement right.

13. Lithuania 57 - IN
WOW. Ok, I might've lost this prediction game, but Ieva totally slayed and deserved it. All my faves of the semi except Switzerland are, unexpectedly, in <333

14. Belarus 56 - OUT
Ah, good riddance.

15. Switzerland 53 - OUT
No! Oh, at least maybe I got this prediction right. The performance was pure slayage. This isn't just

16. Croatia 51 - OUT
Yeah, but didn't we all kind of figure?

17. Macedonia 41 - OUT
OUCH, that was shreiky. They were honestly the only song in this semi that I could easily say after the voting closed: "This isn't qualifying". Terrible live performance. Ari's vocals were great, so I could only say two things for sure - No final for Macedonia, no final for Ireland. Except...

18. Ireland 22 - IN?
What?! Oh, that's actually great, but I was just so confused. Belgium, Greece, Armenia and Azerbaijan, all yet to receive their points. Then suddenly IRELAND gets through. I got this one morbidly wrong.

19. Iceland 8 - OUT.
Uh. Shocker.
