I've been saying this for awhile tho.  Obviously Semi 1 is a lot more stronger, but that's an understatement.  They should have some sort of system where a song that is number 11/12/13 in one semi can pass if it has more votes than a song that is at number 10/9/8 in the other Semi.


Obviously that will never happen, but yeah then it's kind of unfair. 

I once said the same thing! Something like one or two wildcards. But at the end they won't win the final either if they can't defeat the other 10 songs in the semi, so what is the point? :oprah:

Countries like Croatia, Azerbaijan, Switzerland and Finland are much better than like 60-70% of Semi Final 2, and they most likely won't qualify, because they are in Semi 1 :rip: 

I don't even remember who is in semi 2 apart from Sweden which is obvi my fav from Semi 2.  I guess Ukraine is cute, but yeah I don't remember what else is there :rip:

a stronger final.

Because now we will have to go through some really horrible songs during the final from semi final 2, whereas otherwise we will have a really strong final with majority good songs/performances. 

That's actually it. Otherwise I get your point, but it's still nice for someone who put a lot of work into a song/performance etc. to perform at the final, especially if a worse song/performance will get that chance due to semi final 2 being weak.

Well, while I agree with you, I've been thinking a little bit longer about this. This happens every year at Eurovision. Like, Greece and Cyprus are in the same semi-final and will give each other 12 points and that's unfair too. Some years you are lucky and some years you're not, the draw can make a break you. And even when you're in a weak semi-final, the good songs can still strand in the semi. The non-Eurovision fans may totally disagree with us and find the second semi way more stronger. It's a thing about taste too. I actually do think that everybody is trying to bring their a game, so everybody deserves to be in the final judging by that.

Let's not forget we've seen no staging from semi-final 2 and semi-final 2 might end up being closer to the quality from semi-final 1. We've Sweden, Australia, Ukraine and the Netherlands that are big contenders in semi 2. Norway is a big contender thanks to his name. Personally I love Denmark too, but I'm alone on that boat. So at least 6 songs that deserves to be in the final.

Once again, I totally agree with you, this is messed up, but I guess I've learned to accept it after so many years where my favorite songs didn't make it to the final. :poot:

So it's time to take all of this in and predict the qualifiers and non-qualifiers again for Semi-Final 1. Let's be honest, we can't predict this one. :air:

Last year, I had 9/10 for both semis. This year I might repeat that with 2nd semi-final. But 1st is just impossible. :laughga:
