Dutch 89,632 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 So, a sis was bored and felt like doing a prediction now that we have the running order and heard all the acts live. And yes, this will all change when we have the rehearsals in Turin. And no, I didn't put much thought in it this year because this year sucks. Semi 1: Qualifiers: 1. Ukraine 2. The Netherlands 3. Norway 4. Greece 5. Moldova 6. Armenia 7. Portugal 8. Lithuania 9. Latvia 10. Croatia Non-Qualifiers: 11. Albania 12. Austria 13. Iceland 14. Slovenia 15. Denmark 16. Switzerland 17.

StrawberryBlond 14,146 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I finished listening to all the songs and here's my top 10 in ranked order with 1 being the best and my verdicts of each. I know my taste will probably quite different, but here goes: 10. Malta - Pleasant self-affirmation tune, nothing groundbreaking, but sweet and nicely sung. 9. Australia - Very emotional and great voice. While the song wasn't amazing, his delivery was superb. 8. United Kingdom - Very British-sounding output, almost Elton-esque, passionate and a great voice. 7. Spain - The kinda song I wanted Spain to release for years, quite basic lyrics but great fun and really dancey. 6. France - Love the modern salute to an ancient culture, intelligent lyrics and very new territory for France. 5. Estonia - Basically a copy of Lovers On The Sun by David Guetta but I like that song, so I'm down. 4. Germany - A total grower with probably the most powerful, emotional lyrics on Eurovision this year. 3. Montenegro - A very personal story of the Covid crisis, very atmospheric and authentic. 2. Cyprus - Stunning voice and possibly the most Greek/Cypriot song ever made. 1. Belgium - Modern take on RnB and soul done with great passion and an awesome voice. As I am British and therefore, can't vote for my own country, I'd maybe put Finland down as my tenth option. I'm honestly shocked that nothing in the first semi-final impressed me, its all come from the second half and the top 5 which is highly unusual. Not all these songs are standard Eurovision fare which may end up getting held against them but I'm hopeful that at least 4 of my 6 semi final faves will qualify.

People are placing this sooo low and the juries will push him to the final for sure. Estàvem al cel, ara estem a l'infern Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
