Should I vote Armenia and Lithuania tonight?

I just watched Mae’s dress rehearsal and it was………… not good  I thought we’d stand a chance at a Top 10 finish but honestly it’s giving 16th place 

[Mordecai]

Slovenia is not qualifying, you heard it here first xx

 

Truly the most overrated song of the year, Australia is taking all of those rock votes

[BOOM!]

I had a lot of fun watching SF1 with my family and one friend. I enjoyed it more than i thought i will tbh. My fav was obviously Loreen but Israel lowkey slayed too. Norway and Serbia were so disappointing to me but the biggest surprise for me was Czechia tbh. I ended up REALLY liking it.

 

I am not sure what to expect for tonight.  Bejba's rehearsal looks lowkey like a serve and i hope that Georgia will qualify.

Biggest problem is that Slovenia doesn't really have televote power. They never did. So i can see them NQ in a televote only SF.

[khalyan]

Slovenia will qualify because all of the teenage girls will vote for them

 

My qualifying predictions

 

Estonia

Belgium

Cyprus

Poland

Slovenia

Georgia

Austria

Albania

Lithuania

Australia

[Fevesy]

I was intending to give Slovenia 20 votes but maybe I'll give 10 to Slovenia, 5 to Georgia and 5 to Poland just because she's kinda a legend for turning the excessive hate around

[BOOM!]

Slovenia will qualify because this SF is very weak. If it was SF1 or any other year, i wouldn't be so sure.

Slovenia is like Latvia this year. Both songs don't go anywhere and are too MOTR for Eurovision which is why neither will be in the final. What makes it worse for Slovenia is that Australia is closing the show and will steal any thunder they had

 

Edit: Plus San Marino is performing two songs after and both will split votes (even if SM is probably finishing last)

Australia and Slovenia are really not similar and the demographics of voters are completely different.  Australia is appealing to mostly men, Slovenia mostly younger women.  It's like saying One Direction and Iron Maiden appeal to the same demographic

had to check out Armenia, since I had heard about the "dance break" situation. I don't think it particularly elevates the performance or song, but I can understand why they'd go for this especially considering they're performing second. Armenia is giving me Grand Final Top 10 energy, hopefully it'll qualify with ease.

 

considering she's next to Denmark and Romania I think she'll stand out enough and get enough votes to get to the finale. Im really fond of the song and she seems like a lovely girl, I hope she pulls thru

Except Carpe Diem is a much stronger song than what Slovenia has sent in previous years...

After watching two of the dress rehearsals, I do see Slovenia as a qualifier.

In line with my previous post, this semi-final is kinda bad. I am so sad they messed up Poland's performance the way they did.

For some reason I think Lithuania could win this semi 

[Gogetonthebus]

This SF is an assault on the eyes and ears. We've had years with quality imbalance between SF1 and SF2, but this is another level. Australia is going to win the semi, open the GF and then they'll toss Mimicat in the 2nd slot. 

 

Also this year as a whole has the worst crop of twinks we have ever seen.

Agreed.

[gimmelaugh]

I think Slovenia is qualifying 

[Komet]

I also think slovenia should be somewhat safe in a semi like this. I also hope they Q because they haven't seen much of good results lately + Joker Out seem like they really care about esc.

Likely the SF2 winner. They high on betting odds

[WalkAway]

Slovenia is easily qualifying, if not Slovenia who else? Denmark? Please be for real.
