Semi final wishlist

I really don't want to do this but it HAS to be done...

Who will qualify from the 2 semi finals? Honestly? I don't know... I know that is the kop out answer (as well as the obvious one) but this year's line up is so different, so even, it literally could go any way.. 

So after doing my FINAL ranking this past weekend, here are the two semis in order of preferance...

1  Portugal Salvador Sobral Amar pelos dois
1  Moldova SunStroke Project Hey, Mamma!
1  Finland Norma John Blackbird
1  Australia Isaiah Firebrace Don't Come Easy
1  Latvia Triana Park Line
1  Sweden Robin Bengtsson I Can't Go On
1  Azerbaijan Dihaj Skeletons
1  Belgium Blanche City Lights
1  Poland Kasia Moś Flashlight
1  Cyprus Hovig Gravity
______________________________________________________________

1  Slovenia Omar Naber On My Way
1  Iceland Svala Paper
1  Greece Demy This Is Love
1  Armenia Artsvik Fly With Me
1  Czech Republic Martina Bárta My Turn
1  Montenegro Slavko Kalezić Space
1  Georgia Tamara Gachechiladze Keep the Faith
1  Albania Lindita World




2   Netherlands O'G3NE Lights and Shadows
2   Belarus NAVI Historyja majho žyccia
2   Hungary Joci Pápai Origo
2   Norway JOWST ft. Aleksander Walmann Grab the Moment
2   Estonia Koit Toome & Laura Verona
2   San Marino Valentina Monetta & Jimmy Wilson Spirit of the Night
2   FYR Macedonia Jana Burčeska Dance Alone
2   Ireland Brendan Murray Dying to Try
2   Austria Nathan Trent Running on Air
2   Denmark Anja Nissen Where I Am
____________________________________________________________________

2   Israel Imri Ziv I Feel Alive
2   Bulgaria Kristian Kostov Beautiful Mess
2   Lithuania Fusedmarc Rain of Revolution
2   Croatia Jacques Houdek My Friend
2   Switzerland Timebelle Apollo
2   Serbia Tijana Bogićević In Too Deep
2  Malta Claudia Faniello Breathlessly
2  Romania Ilinca feat. Alex Florea Yodel It!


So just to say - THIS AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN !!!!! (but if it does I you will have to scrape me off the ceiling!)

A more level headed (and possibly more informed guess would be that the following WON'T qualify

1   Slovenia Omar Naber On My Way

1   Iceland Svala Paper

1   Czech Republic Martina Bárta My Turn

1   Montenegro Slavko Kalezić Space

1   Georgia Tamara Gachechiladze Keep the Faith

1   Albania Lindita World

The other 2 DNQs will more than likely be between Australia, Azerbaijan, Belgium and Poland.
Sweden, Finland, Portugal, Greece, Armenia (and possibly Cyprus) are pretty much certain qualifiers.



As for semi 2, the songs we won't be seeing on Saturday will be:

2   San Marino Valentina Monetta & Jimmy Wilson Spirit of the Night

2   Ireland Brendan Murray Dying to Try

2   Denmark Anja Nissen Where I Am

2   Lithuania Fusedmarc Rain of Revolution

2   Switzerland Timebelle Apollo

2   Serbia Tijana Bogićević In Too Deep

2   Malta Claudia Faniello Breathlessly

This group of 7 will be joined by either Croatia, Hungary or Macedonia.
This semi is much more open and can only really say that Romania and Bulgaria are almost 100% through.
