I watched it on RTP International via satellite, they just slammed some ads in, so the Swiss entry wasen't shown entirely.
BULGARIA should simply pull out of the contest just like Italy did as it seems to be watched by blind and deaf people who vote automatically !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The show has started ... Where's the link?
My favourite is Iceland, but Im having the feeling it wont qualify! Like Kate Ryan, Evridiki (my favourites in those years!)
Im portuguese and off course I would love that my country wins, (the song isn't my style, but Vânia has a great voice), but Im crossing fingers for Iceland (they have been robbed lately), like the netherlands were in the first semi.
My prediction for tonight in a random order:
1. Turkey ( they will do it, no doubt)
2.Ukraine (the song is nothing special, don't understand the fuss around it, but it will be in the final, thats fou sure)
3.Sweden (They will do it, but not in the top 5)
4. FYROM or Albania (One of them will do it with the votes of Croatia, Serbia, Albania and FYROM, but they dont deserve it)
5.Belarus (Im having the strange feeling that it will reach the final)
6.Hungary (I guess it will be a surprise, but Im not very found of it)
7.Latvia (a clowns number, but a catchy song, I guess it will be in the final)
8.Bulgaria (it will reach the final, specially with the teen vote)
9.Georgia( like Azerbaijan, for the show)
10. The jury vote Portugal (here is the only chance we have), Denmark or hungary (if not for televote)
Haven't tuned in for a couple of days because my computer refused to load this page. I guess there has been a lot of visitors these days. Let me boost a bit: I predicted 8 of the 10 finalists on Tuesday! The only unexpected were Finland and Israel instead of Ireland and Slovenia. (I'll actually miss the turkey).
As for tonight, my preliminary picks (in running order):
Sweden
Turkey
Ukraine
Switzerland
Latvia
Croatia
Bulgaria
Denmark
Georgia
Macedonia
Good luck to RTS and all the contestants tonight! (and also for you, Charlotte, though I personally will identify myself more with Denmark tonight).
Dear ESC Today
May I wish all the participating entrants in tonight’s second semi-final of two all the best of luck

5)Iceland
6)Lativa
7)Lithuania

9)Denmark

IIIIICCCCCEEEELLLLLAAAANNNNDDD D, I love you!!!!!
Good Luck Portugal!! You deserve to be the star this year!!!
Tonight I think Portugal, Sweden, Ukraine and Switzerland have a guarranted place in the Top 10.
From the others, Hungary is also very good, but I think Hungary will be the jury's choice. Iceland, Cyprus and Malta are also interesting, so I think maybe they will be in the Top 10 too.
For me, in the final, it's gonna be:
Portugal 12pts from the UK
Sweden 10pts from the UK
Switzerland 8pts from the UK
Ukraine/Iceland 7pts from the UK
...
It's my prediction
