I can't make any predictions but tomorrow I really want to see Sweden, Finland, Azerbaijan, Moldova, Iceland, Czech Republic, Cyprus and Latvia qualifying! At the moment the jury final (dress rehearsal) is going on where the 50% of the votes will come..

Sweden Australia Belgium Portugal
Greece Iceland Georgia Moldova
Finland Czech Republic
The Top 4 are what I consider to be dead certs. Will be amazed if they struggle/fail to reach the final. Middle 4 are countries that I think will go through. Bottom 2 will just about scrape through narrowly.
Really like the studio version of the Albania song, but was unimpressed by the liver version, so think that could struggle. Would like to see Polska in the final, but the think it may narrowly miss out.

I usually like Sweden a lot in ESC but this year it's very meh to me. Too polished without actually being good.

I put off listening to the songs for so long that I decided I might as well go in blind (or should I say deaf) this year. It's definitely a different experience when your first impression is made during the live shows. Looking forward to seeing what's in store tonight.

"The uploader has not made this video available in your country."
Oh it says on their site that "Please be advised that due to rights technicalities, unfortunately the EBU is unable to live stream in the United States, Canada and Brazil."

I figured out a way to watch - you can stream the semi's from other countries websites. You'll just have to deal with the commentary.

Really hoping Moldova will make it to the finals, it was easily the best performance until now for me.

I'm rooting for Svala to make it through. Still hate Portugal, could see Moldova making it through based on that performance.
I hope Isaiah's vocal f**k-up doesn't cost him. I still don't care for the song at ALL but I still want to see us succeed.

I don't think I can decide the best performance because nothing really stood out, but Moldova's performance was one of the best. Also does Latvia's singer remind anyone of Katy Perry?

Surprised Cyprus made it, to be honest. Was not expecting it at all. Was expecting Finland & Iceland to go through, and little surprised they didn't. Glad Poland made it. The song is bit of a slow-burner but one of the better songs

Kasia's song caught me early on, so I'm really glad Poland got through. It wasn't as present in her live vocals but her studio vocals on 'Flashlight' remind me a little of Celine Dion (and for the record this is not a bad thing).
Urgh at Belgium and Portugal qualifying, those are both cases of songs that are popular and I don't know the f**k how. I would've much preferred Georgia, Iceland or Montenegro, although I'm not surprised in the LEAST Slavko missed the cut.

Overall I'm happy about the songs that made it through (especially Moldova).
I do wish Georgia and/or Albania could've made it instead of Portugal or Belgium. With Portugal and Belgium, I like the songs themselves (Belgium moreso than Portugal) but the performances weren't as great. I guess the same goes for Australia but I think Australia's performance was good enough to qualify (he could just fix one part and I think Australia has a solid top 10 finisher I think) whereas Portugal and Belgium were meh imo.
But other than that, I probably would've picked the same songs (Moldova, Sweden, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Poland, Cyprus, Greece, Australia, maybe even Belgium?) as the songs that qualified.

I was looking into some stats and I was astonished to realize that Portugal's never had a top 5 finish, and they've participated in all but 5 contests since 1964. They're looking like a dark horse this year, so they might finally do it.

Yesss Moldova went through :) also happy that Cyprus got there. I do think that Georgia's live performance was really good and that it deserved a spot instead of Poland maybe. And as for Belgium, I really like it but the live version is just really boring. And y'all better be prepared cause Portugal might actually win this year.
