Semi 2 is either gonna be straightforward (so almost everything that's qualifying in the odds makes it) or shit's gonna get VERY weird
Ok... I have a case on San Marino. One of the reasons that actually killed Achille Lauro in 2022 was the fact that Italy wasn't voting in semifinal 2. Spain is voting in this semifinal, and I see them winning the Spanish vote and getting some points from rock fans all around (even getting more votes than Czechia, which is direct competition). So, there's a path where San Marino could finish in 10th place and qualify.
ever since sennek failed in 2018 i'm scared for Belgium. gets to show that having an amazing track is not enough
Sennek was very good but that song was not everybody's cup of tea. Mustii's song is more digestible for the crowds.
@@nstella7 i think the issue was her staging actually (or lack of staging). Don't think we will have this issue now, but we might get a messy delivery from Mustii. Hopefully not, I have Belgium in my top 5
sennek was literally winner material
@@nstella7 Agree with you.. the song was nit good and the lack of staging as the final nail in the coffin for Belgium that year
It was one of the toughest semis ever
Israel ♥️♥️♥️🇩🇪🇩🇪🇹🇯
How dare Alesia say that [insert my favorite entry] won’t qualify!
She obviously hates [insert favorite entry’s country] and all of their culture, people and history!! She’s always had something against [insert favorite entry’s country]
I’m about to take this way too personal and let it get in the way of my enjoyment of this song!
(Average eurofan Twitter response to this video)
😂
I'm terrified for Estonia, their my number 1 this year, but if they don't upgrade that live, Megara is coming for their slot
Exactly where I’m living because M’égara kills lives
Albania has many friends in this semi (diaspora in Greece, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, and ROTW vote). I would not count them out despite the running order. But if they make it, it will be borderline (8-10th) at best.
It wouldn’t be the first year that they don’t qualify with televoting and the song is just too bad.
I'm so sad because the studio version of Czechia gets my 12 points this year. But I don't know if she will be able to deliver it.
Same here. As a song, definitely in my top 5. But probably not the taste of the typical Eurovision fan.
Well, I hope that Czechia will have an amazing staging as always and Aiko will fix her vocals. If this happens, Czechia is qualifiying...
Who will vote for them? Not enough friendly countries to be paying attention.
I don't think miracles happen so often. She cannot learn how to catch her breath and sing in 3 or 4 weeks
I also need Czechia!
@@TMPOUZI Have you seen her singing Pedestal while she was running? She sounded absolutely perfect. Czechia always sends songs that require specific sound mixing. She will slay at ESC, trust me
@@Vanicicek___Too bad this time they don't have the song to qualify
I hope Belgium does well and actually makes it :( i really like the song.
I agree on the eight definite qualifiers, and I would pick Georgia and Estonia as the most likely candidates for the two other spots as well.
If you would've asked me if Belgium is making it a month ago, I would've said definitely. Sadly in all of his TV appearences and pre-parties, not once has he delivered both the vocals and the performance at the same time. I don't think I've heard one performance where his vocals weren't too sharp. I still think it's making it, but borderline (9th-10th)
There could be a trainwreck moment like Sennek or Pia Maria and maybe one or two important countries would fail to qualify.
Regarding the pop girlies, we should consider that Italy and Spain will sing and maybe saturate some space for pop girlies. Slimane will sing a killer ballad and maybe also saturate the male ballad genre.
I think the only one really out of the box and crazy is San Marino and they could benefit from that.
My qualifiers if only i was voting, by order:
1-Norway (they are my overall favourites this year)
2-Switzerland
3-Austria
4-Czech Republic
5-Israel
6-Estonia
7-Armenia
8-Belgium
9-San Marino
10-Netherlands
There is no Czech Republic in Eurovision anymore though, it's simply Czechia.
What a strange top 10😂
@@Ogeroigres its like X instead of Twitter. I aint calling it that.
Hopefully Sarah will do her best vocally on the evening cause i really NEEEED to see Malta which is the most underrated entry this year and shouldn't even be on the fence in the first place
If I was the only one voting, my qualifiers are
1. Greece
2. Netherlands
3. Norway
4. Estonia
5. Armenia
6. Switzerland
7. Denmark
8. Belgium
9. San Marino
10. Czechia (if she fixes her live performance) or Georgia
Im in a world where Malta makes it. She dances, sings well enough, and it has THE STUNT. You cant tell me they wont be replaying that during the recap!
Czechia’s song is not my fav, but I have a strong strong feeling that Aiko will bring her best performance, she already has improved a lot and that song is made for crowd!!! Watch out
She did bring it.
I think Czechia could make it( I love the song)... At least In reddit there's support for pedestal. The song is number 21 on top 37... Above Georgia, San Marino, Latvia, Denmark and Israel for example.
I think if the staging and vocals are good she will go through!
I think a lot of people got stuck with the National final but... I think Aiko will surprise us.
Of this semi, my favourite is Austria, followed by Georgia, Switzerland and the Netherlands. The other 6 I would want in the final would be Greece, Armenia, Belgium, Denmark, Malta and Norway.
Now here's an interesting (hot take) question for you; do you think it's possible that Israel could be the biggest wild card this year simply due to the current situation? Like people purposely voting everything else up to keep it from making it in? It's kind of a similar idea to how many people felt Ukraine were voted up (resulting in their win) for their situation in 2022, it's kind of an opposite situation with Israel this year... and I mean this question with the utmost respect because it is a very touchy situation, but I could see a world where this is a very distinct possibility. Thank you for your wonderful analysis vids :)
Love israel❤ no.1
My prediction of nqs
Denmark,Czechia😢,Estonia,San Marino,Albania and Austria
I feel Malta and Latvia will qualify
Malta and Latvia won't qualify. Austria will qualify easily.
@@alexandrenabais6053 malta is qualifying
@@GlennDemarco-po8zj they aren't. They really really aren't.
Most votes tonight? Netherlands or suisse?
Netherlands…
After seeing the pre-parties I'm more confident about Georgia. The vocal is RELIABLE!
Semi 2 is so strong. Some of these songs deserved to be in Semi 1 for a better chance of qualifying
I think Czechia’s qualifying for some reason. I’m sure it will be staged well, she just has to get her voice together.
As a Latvian I'm confused.. When we had our national selection everyone was screaming Dons! Now.. Noone likes it. Speaking about kitty song. Between all girls we have this year, it would fall flat tbh.
In this semi I think Dons has the advantage of being one of few male balads.
Kitty song at least had some unique selling point.
Dons song is not bad at all, it's just not anything new or different or memorable. It's a good, clean male power ballad. For Dons to qualify, he needed something brazen, something angry, something anti Big 5 like Tornike's "Take Me As I Am"
Exactly, people were saying Dons could be a winner. Seems people didn't like the staging and since then feel they will be low in the rankings. But the general public might like the well sung song.
Latvia will be the moment of introspection and coming to rest after all those girlbops. He will stand out.
@@GospodinNelson But does need a good staging, not just standing still with a mic and looking low-budget. Take inspiration in Alika's Bridges performance.
@@GospodinNelson will the esc audience vote for introspection story unless there's a very handsome face (Marco Mengoni) or some heartfelt story (Salvador) remains to be seen
my surprise non NQ would be : Greece, Austria and Belgium.. And surprise Q's would be San Marino and Malta
In what kind of delusional fantasy world would cheap fastfood songs qualify over masterpieces. Malta is ending up dead last. The song is garbage.
Love!
Similar predictions again:
Safe Qs: 🇳🇱🇨🇭🇬🇷🇦🇲🇳🇴
Likely Qs: 🇬🇪🇦🇹🇪🇪
Borderline Qs: ❌🇧🇪
Borderline NQs: 🇲🇹🇩🇰🇸🇲
Safe NQs: 🇦🇱🇨🇿🇱🇻
Belgium for me has super fallen off since the lives which nothing is really going right for them and the RO means it could stand out as bad risking their slot being taken. Israel is hard to gauge what the vote will look like. It can be assumed they Q but not a guarantee and judging the song alone, they came 19th in televote with a ballad in 2019 and they televote NQed with all other ballads too in 2010, 2013 and 2016 so it’ll all depend on that extra support.
I'm slowly preparing myself mentally to lose Malta over Georgia just in case.
But I will definitely lose my shit if Estonia is out, praying for a clean staging 🙏🏻
if im completely honest, the only sure qualifiers i see for semi 2 are switzerland, israel, the netherlands and greece. i could see some fan favourites either flop, barely make it through or somehow nq
Unless Megara is allowed to perform their song in the middle of the crowd, which then goes on to do a mosh pit, there won't be any surprises
I think Belgium is in, but if he doesn’t have his vocals on point during the semi final (and the majority of the times he has sounded off, especially the notes in the chorus) & if they don't get the staging right, I think Latvia might have a chance of getting in instead. I love both songs. I just am not as convinced with Belgium anymore 😅
Well yea
To me Greece, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Armenia & Norway are the only sure Q. The other slots are wide open with so many factors. Belgium Austria & Israel can easily flop. I also dont think Czechia is out. I could see her do really well
I showed San Marino to people who are not in the Eurovision bubble and not a single one of them liked it. And that included people whose go to genre is rock. So i think San Marino is definitely out
Bye bye San Marino 🇸🇲
Perhaps you showed it to wrong people lol
I mean if their energy and performance will be on point there will be people who will like it, there is demographics for such songs. And we don't often have real rock songs sung by female vocalist, it will be the refreshment of the evening.
My musts from the second semi final are definately:
Greece
Georgia
Israel
cause these three are the strongest vocalists of this group and they all 3 will vocally deliver in a live performance.
I like the songs of Denmark, Czechia, Norway Austria and Latvia from this group aswell.
Norway and Latvia are both strong vocalists aswell but both their songs are songs that don't seem to be liked by the larger audience because they are not the typical pop songs people are used to.
Czechia, Denmark and Austria have the problem that all 3 were vocally weak to mediocre in their live performances so if they don't deliver in the semi finals I don't see them all going through but rather the one that brings it's A Game that day.
Malta is vocally weak, albania is ok, armenia is a fun song but their lyrics are VERY limited (mainly a repeat of the same for like 3 minutes).
San Marino is ok too but it doesn't seem to find many fans rallying behind it. Same goes for Estonia I guess.
Switzerland and The Netherlands will probably go through because of all the following they have.
Belgium never delivered in the live performances so far so I see him rather bomb in the semis and losing his otherwise secure spot.
In reality and by all the hate I see online towards Israel, I see them sadly and unfairly punishing Eden Golan by not letting her advance even she is a awesome talent and the song is great though.
If that really happens it will open the door for one of the acts that definately wouldn't had advanced otherwise.
SAN MARINO! 🇸🇲🤘
I feel that Estonia will qualify even if the staging is still messy cause the so-called mess is a selling point for many people already
Austria and Armenia are songs to sort of like to listen to, but not really to vote for. Are there really that many people who have these songs in their "must vote for" list?
Yes there are people
I would vote Armenia (we've had similar kind of songs in the past, and they did well with the tele).
Armenia? Absolutely
@@AlesiaMichelle It's one lalala too many for me. I can bear listening to the song, but it is far from being in a position to receive votes. The band name also rubs me the wrong way, I prefer Windows95.
Um yes, I love Austria and would give many votes if my country was in semi 2 instead of semi 1
Georgia is 100% qualifying. Austria is the borderline not Georgia
Georgia is the better girlbop not austria
Not song wise it's not
I feel that Armenia may be a nonqualifier. We have 2 similar songs- Greece and Armenia. This can really happen.
The same situation is Malta and Georgia. Probably only one of these will qualify.
Czechia will be in the grand final. Staging and vocals will be great and there is no other song like this. I also feel that Denmark can qualify, but this is definitely more jury song than televoting song, and we know that only the viewers vote in this semi. Therefore i think that Czechia has big chances to qualify.
THIS SEMI IS STRONGER THAN THE FIRST ONE.
I like Armenia better than greece❤
Czechia can’t make it. The song is too bad.
Do you think that Il would have qualified in some other year? I feel like they're gonna take the spot from Denmark or Latvia
Probably. They execute well and we don’t have many ballads so it would stand out
Of course Estonia is going to make it. It will even be in the top 10 in the final.
Uhhhhhhhhhh yeahhhhhhh
A pity because it's horrible.
Highly doubt that
lol
i’d say 11 are battling for the 10 spots, the 10 you locked in and denmark, the other ones feel out of the game. very close between denmark and georgia, if estonia has the right camera angles and delivers the right energy
LOVE YOU ❣️❣️
AND YOU LOVES AS ALSO ❤❤
THANK YOU ❤❤
KISSES FROM GREECE ❤❤
Good analysis 👍
Great staging, I'm impressed. Luvd it all! 🎉🎉🎉 Jako' a QUEEN! LA DA NI VA ♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡
Given that the song takes too long until the peak and that Mustii's recent performances didn't sound good I think Belgium is not making it and Latvia comes in and takes their spot because people might prefer something more classic with stronger vocals. And contrary to popular opinion I don't think Armenia is that safe at all. The song might be too repetitive and Armenia doesn't always stage ethnic songs well, so I'm saying San Marino takes their spot. If Belgium and Armenia make it then it's over for Latvia and San Marino. Georgia will just make it. Lowkey I am not so sure about Austria, Denmark or Malta could come in if Kaleen flops live, but I'm living in a world Austria will be good, so I'm gonna say: Norway , Austria , Greece , Switzerland , Netherlands , Estonia, Georgia, San Marino and Latvia. And one more country you know what it is but for some reason when I write the name the comment gets deleted...
Of course Belgium is a sure qualifier. It’s very delusional to think he isn’t. He has by far the best song in this weak SF and his vocals were top notch during the rehearsals. Plus he will get a huge support from Italy and Spain and the Netherlands and France are voting in this SF too.
I love Malta and Latvia but I'm already getting used to the fact that I won't have them both in the final!
My only hopes now is that Denmark takes Estonia's spot and qualifies with Georgia, since they're my top 2 hahah
I dont get why people want all of the girl pops to make it accept Malta... like what???. Greece, Georgia, Armenia, Austria are all girl pop songs and they are predicted to make it?, What is the difference between Malta and the others?
(No, I'm not talking about Alesia)
because before the revamp the song was not enough, but when they did the revamp, there were also Austria, Greece, Cypurs... In addition, malta is not a big country in ESC so people dont cheer them a lot
Malta is a small country with no neighbors = less televote, also people are saying she copied Chanel, which she didn’t.
Malta tends to struggle with televote and Austria/Georgia/Greece might have more of an advantage
Armenia is not playing in the same box. Pure Folk and no dancers.
Greece 's song is from another planet. You can not compare it with Malta's song . There is nothing comparable between those two
For me, San Marino, Czechia, Latvia and Albania are sure nqs imo. The rest hard to predict who is just missing out
I really think Latvia will take Belgiums spot unless Belgium could do something with hiding the vocals with a backing track. I think Denmark beats Georgia for that last spot. On the fence I have Malta and Czechia, im nervous for them but if they can nail it I can see them fighting for Denmarks spot. San Marino and Albania are the only ones definitely out for me
Belgium with Mustii 12 points .....without a " backing track " !!
I don’t think Latvia is qualifying since Slimane is performing in the semifinal. A much better male ballad then Latvia
my prediction: 🇳🇱🇳🇴🇨🇭🇬🇷🇪🇪🇦🇲🇮🇱🇬🇪🇧🇪🇦🇹
but I can see basically anyone except Malta or Albania qualifying tbh
Props to you on being honest about Israel qualifying...call em out!!!
You sing better than most of the contestants, move to Europe? 😊
Haha! TY
🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪👍✌️❤️❤️
And in reality diaspora of the countries plus the eurovision bubble people decide who qualifies or not. Also don't forget big favorite countries tend to not vote for competitors, so it comes down to what I said
Malta will qualify just about tho like 9/10th place
San Marino, Czechia, Latvia are the sure nq.
Albania Besa will surprise she has dances and great stage
Watch Belgium and Austria being on a target of NQ 👀
Belgium is one of my favs, but it can be interpreted not impactful enough
Of course they will qualify in such a weak SF. Especially Belgium who has France, the Netherlands, will get a huge support from Italy and Spain too and it’s by far the best song. His rehearsals were top notch, vocals on point amazing staging. He will make the top 5 in the finals without any doubts
u may not heard but albanias is having an WHOLE verse in abanian live
Sure, that's better but the production is still not as good as it was on the OG. [imho]
@@AlesiaMichelle she also has greece italy switzerland austria in its semi
I live in a world where belgium can be a shock NQ because it takes too much time to arrive to the climax and maybe the televote dont Q them, its a jury song. And then maybe Austria flops because she doesnt sing well or its not as good as expected and compared to Malta it is worse.
Semi-Final 2 is literally a *BLOODBATH/CATFIGHT* if you as me
Latvia or Danmark will make it instead of Belgium
Sanmarino is a %100 NQ
Israel is a Nq because of war
Albania will qualify
If it does, it will be only thanks to the diaspora that can be voting in this semi.
im prepared for disappointment when georgia, malta and albania dont make it ;-;
Alesia - are you avoiding discussion about Israel? It certainly seems so. Just say that you are and your reasons. If you are going to take a political stand, be very clear about why. Otherwise it seems very passive aggressive (assuming you are in fact avoiding discussion about Israel).
I am not. I've spoken plenty about the song. Israel is a lock qualifier- I said that. And I talked about the country's winner potential in this video: ua-cam.com/video/_8lePX3hjpI/v-deo.html
@@AlesiaMichelle Thank you for the response
I am going to take a wild guess and say that both Estonia and Armenia could flop, and not qualify.
Not Armenia? No…. 👀
@@AlesiaMichelle The only time they had a song entirely in armenian was in 2018, and it failed to qualify. I know the genres are different but you know it is not like Armenia hasn't been struggling in the past few years. Maybe I am wrong, who knows. We will have to wait and see.
Belgium won't qualify
In such a weak SF he will be a very safe qualifier. It’s by far the best song and his vocals were top notch during the rehearsals. He’s making the top 5 in the finals with ease.
Austria and Belgium aren’t as safe as you all pretend. Estonia and Georgia are definitely making it. DOA: San Marino, Denmark, Czechia and Albania.
“As you all pretend”
WHO
@@AlesiaMichelle Most Fans.
🤣🤣🤣 Belgium is a very safe qualifier, Austria too because the song is much better than those cheap fastfood songs. Georgia has never been a safe qualifier because the song is garbage, same with Malta. And with so many upbeat songs people might rather vote Denmark in.
I think Austria will flop
I want Greece in the final so badly just to see ya'll faces when it flops so hard like Spain last year. I don't hate the song. But i dont like it either. It's a borderline qualifier for me. I just hate it when people overrate songs. It's no way near top 10 quality.
This is aggressively negative for absolutely no reason. Like it’s giving “who hurt you?!?,” 😂🤣
@@AlesiaMichelle odds hurt me 😂 i have no problem if this song finishes 11-26th, but if this song is actually hurting the chances of my favourite song entering in the top 10(which is a big deal for me, cuz I've been watching since 2015 and my favourite song has never failed to get into the top 10), then im going to be very pissed off, cuz there is just no way Greece is better than my favourite song.
@@alexandrenabais6053I think Greece will qualify and has the potentiality of getting a good position as well. But it all depends on the staging of course
What's interesting is that this is what I think about Austria
I think you might actually hate it because wanting it to flop is too much.. you could have said that you wanted it to stay out of the top10 or smth. Greece is not the only country that can block your fave songs from entering the top you know.
I Can see both Armenia and The Netherlands as a NQ (!)
They are in my opinion both quite silly.
Be gentle with me now 😅
the netherlands will get 12 points from belgium, very likely at least 8 from germany and i also expect switserland and austria to give joost at least 6 points. those 4 countries already amount to 30 (low end) to 40 points (high end). there should be some form of miracle happening for the remainder of countries giving joost less than 30 points in total
@@HelloWorld-kt7jk thanks for sharing you thoughts. I can see that there is a path for Netherlands given this info. Let’s see who makes it and who doesn’t. I is exciting indeed!
They are both not silly at all.. and NL will qualify 100% and will end up in the top 5 in the Final.
Anything is possible, but even if you don’t count the Dutch and Belgic views on Spotify Europapa is still the most listened 2024 Eurovision song. All the stats are public ❤️
@@Maria_muziekjes
Thanks for enlightning me👍
So pathetic ignoring Israel its all about music jjj hypocrite
I have not ignored Israel. I said they'd qualify. I even talk about Israel's winner potential: ua-cam.com/video/_8lePX3hjpI/v-deo.html
You need to learn the definition of hypocrite.
I'm from Israel. First of all, I must say that I really like your videos ❤️. We are in a very difficult time, we still don't see the end unfortunately. There are still 133 Israelis in captivity in Gaza, including a baby and a 4-year-old boy. We did not want war. Just want to live in peace. And with all this we have the feeling that a large part of the world does not understand what we are going through and have turned us into aggressors instead of understanding that we are defending our lives. Even the eurovision that should be devoid of politics has become a place of seeming and threats to Eden. There are many bloggers who completely ignore the song. It is very sad. Thank you for not letting it affect you and for referring to the song. I respect you very much. We will be happy to see you again in Israel in better days ❤️
I feel like Austria may shock NQ. If the staging is messy and the vocals are mid, I could see Malta or Denmark taming their spot
Definitely think Austria and Belgium are the possible shock NQs. I think Belgium is maybe more safe, but I think they both have proven so far that achieving the quality of the studio cuts of their songs live is difficult for them (not impossible) so it'll be uphill a bit for them
Mid vocals? Why you acting like she needs to sing like Celiene Dion with a dance song lmao. Her vocals are good. It's a dance song, its a performance. As long as she doesn't run out of breath and doesn't sound awful, it's good. And having heard all of the pre parties, she sounded good on all of them. Austria will easily qualify.
austria is solidly in, the staging is going to be amazing we know she’s an incredible dancer, i just don’t see why world where she’s not in
@Kian-ww2hi yeah I think the dancing and staging will likely be amazing and so you're probably right. I'm not a huge fan of the song itself - little repetitive and I dont feel it's very sincere to Kaleen. But she's great. So yeah I think you're right
Well yes
I personally need both Denmark and Latvia to qualify. I'm rooting for Copenhagen 2025 just because it would be funny.
Hilarious and delusional but I wouldn’t hate it
No, I think Georgia is a sure qualifier - just based on her vocals, performance ability & the song is strong enough
Malta will have amazing staging
Won't help them, last year they had good staging and an upbeat song and finished last, lower than Wild Youth
@@heppolo their staging last year was pretty messy and the live singing was more like whispering, they were also 3rd which has the worst qualification rate, so their chances are higher this year I’d say
Georgia and Latvia are the countries with the most disqualifications since 2017. I have a very good feeling about Nutsa because it's an uptempo song and her vocals are great live (we heard it at the pre-party). The performance will probably be good, and she should qualify. Latvia needs a better staging, something like Kristian Kostov, who was also alone on stage and sang a ballad. Dons has a great performance and vocals (every time at the Pre-parties) and there he has an advantage over Mustii from Belgium. The question is whether televoting wants a song from Belgium or Latvia... Austria was one of my favorites, but the vocals need to be better I think. Albania has more advantages than Malta or Denmark because Switzerland, Italy, and Greece are voting (possible 30 points) and maybe the rest of the world or Belgium/Austria could give them something.... So, Besa has more advantages than Malta, San Marino, Czechia or Denmark at this point
Malta being 1st is dangerous for her, also Austria doesn’t deserve a spot because of her terrible vocals.. Only 2 more pop songs and that’s Georgia and Greece, with good staging they’ll 100% qualify..
I’m living in a world where Denmark, Georgia, San Marino and Albania are all fighting for 10th place in the semi, and right now, San Marino is grabbing that 10th slot by skin of their teeth
Austria is gonna be the shocked NQ of this semi
Agree with everything here, except I'd take Georgia over Austria, which then allows maybe San Marino or Denmark to sneak in
Austria is my number 1 but I'm not sure Kaleen isn't going to be vocally good enough
We are so compatible with our song opinions it's insane HAHAHA great video!!
Latvia will make it, mark my words 🙌
I really don't get how songs like Greece and Israel can be 100% sure qualifiers. And for 2 very different reasons...Starting with Israel, yes the song is very good...but like...legit everyone hates Israel right now...how can they make it to the final in a televote only semi??? Like...i love the song, it's my 7th favourite of this year, but like...surely not right? I just don't see people at home going, ah yes, Israel, going to vote for them. No way. And Greece, i've showed the song to both my family and my friends, and they said it was horrible. Which it was very predictable. I don't 100% hate the song but the song is A MESS. And if the staging is average, there is no way it qualifies. The song is just simply not strong. It's a bang average song at best.
DONS 🇱🇻🔥🙌
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Latvia!👍🫶🙏🤞
I hope Latvia qualifies!
Prayer circle for Denmark making it in. I know the song feels generic, but the "oooh" parts grip my soul.
SAAAAAAAND
You should also react to the live performance of Zari Marina Satti gave at a club for the farewell party in Athens!! Cheers 👍

I have a feeling that we’re going to see a repeat of what happened with ‘Burning Daylight’ and ‘Watergun’ last year with Belgium and Latvia this year. On paper, Belgium is the much better song and has far more hype around it compared to Latvia but I have a feeling the execution won’t be there with Belgium like ‘Burning Daylight’ whereas it will be with ‘Hollow’ which we know is going to be strong vocally and people will end up voting ‘Hollow’ through instead like they did with ‘Watergun’ last year.
You clearly haven’t watched the rehearsals and the other live performances of Mustii who’s a much better vocalist than Dons. Plus Belgium has the Netherlands and France voting and he will get a huge support from Italy and Spain, plus all the drags. The Belgian song is a million times better than the Latvian, not even a tiny chance that Latvia makes it. He will not get more than 18 points while Mustii will get above 100 points. It’s far more likely that the Netherlands will not qualify.
@@GianniDN lmao check when the video was released. This was before rehearsals. Now having seen them, Latvia definitely isn’t qualifying
I am sure, San Marino, Czechia, Latvia and Estonia. I see on the fence Israel(yes, i know I am the only one on this planet who does this). My heart goes for Malta qualifying, it has been overlooked, overslept and underrated, if she's gonna do fine with the live vocals, i see this advsncing to the final. Now what hapoened with Belgium? If Mustii manages to oerform and sing the track right, i do not only see Belgium winning this semi final, but also the contest
This is by far the stronger semi imo. There’s literally not a single song I would rate under 6/10 here (and that’s just Israel and Denmark, the rest are better than 8/10)
