2-3 favory songs is going to stay out from final as always happen , maybe that songs is Finnish, Icelandic and Portugal? i dont want that to happen but since in semifinals only 2 songs pass with no televoting that 3 countreys have more change to dont pass, especially Iceland . Iceland since 2005 are always favory to pass but only once time passing to the final , on the other hand 2 - 3 aufull songs is going to pass maybe that countreys is : Latvia , FYRO Macedonia and Ukraine?
Malta will be a dark horse, and definitively pass from the semi. And I notice that few have a believe on the Netherlands, but I guess they will pass it.
"And the first 12 points are going to.... Romania from Spain rofl"
hope the juries can change (unless juries like bad songs like Romania)
they should let the 2 last country to vote to call all their points from 1 to 12 = more suspense for the top 5 and maybe the winner 
My favorites:
1st:
Montenegro
Malta
Bosnia & Herzegovina
Iceland
FYR Macedonia
Romania
Finland
Sweden
Andorra
Turkey
2nd:
Croatia
Ireland
Norway
Denmark
Slovenia
Estonia
Netherlands
Azerbaijan
Greece
Lithuania
I think the following countries will qualify for the final.
1. semi: Montenegro, Belgium, Belarus, Sweden, Armenia, Turkey, FYR Macedonia, Romania, Malta, Bosnia & Herzegovina
2. semi: Serbia, Norway, Slovakia, Denmark, Slovenia, Azerbaijan, Greece, Albania, Ukraine, Estonia
Now we all have to wait and see how wrong probably all our predictions will be. But it is nevertheless much fun to make predictions in the meantime.
I might be wrong, but I think that no ballad is going to win this year: we had two ballads as winers in a row. It is going to be a year of a catchy song
Oh,I should write only "if you don't" without "do"
I see that guys from turkey like Polish song. Thank you fo this very much,and if you don't do,I'm sorry for this reaction )

Oh bad luck for France. But I still believe Patricia can pull it off
Luck for Spain... but i think that it doesnt match.
La Noche Es Para Mi is not a closing song, spanish representer should have better picked a 23th or 24th place.
I like spanish rhythm this year but there is something wrong with this tune... i dont know what it is
After hearing that horrible remix of the song from the Netherlands I now think it won't qualify.
Slovakia is my new 10th song in SF2
Bosnia is the best!!!
PORTUGAL Flor De Lis - "Todas As Ruas Do Amor"
I really love this song. Its folksy in a Portuguese way and very pleasant
indeed. After banishing their failure to get out of the Semis last year
I really think this gives Portugal a good chance of reaching the Qualifier - http://www.last.fm/m(...)or-de-Lis?setlang=en
BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA Regina -"Bistra Voda"
This song was very much keenly anticipated by me as I expected
great things from Regina given previous music. It certainly proved
to be more than worth the wait as this song is , in my opinion,
the best entry from the Ex-Yugo countries this year. Another
moody Balkan ballad with an extra edge to it I cannot see this having
a problem reaching the final.
Qualifier.
ISRAEL Noa and Mira Awad -"There Must Be A Better Way"
When I first heard the selection of songs for the Kdam I was hugely
dissapointed. For such a great singer as Noa it was sad to such mediocre
songs chosen. But I have to say once I heard them sing this live
I realised that this is actually a really nice mid-tempo ballad.
Beautiful harmonies throughout and I could see this doing rather well.
Qualifier
Serbia - Marko Kon & Milan Nikolić - Cipela
This could either bomb in the semi or catch the imagination of people and get a good position in the final.
NORWAY Alexander Ryback -"Fairytale"
Very much a folksy feel combined with a great catchy hook.
Huge potential winner.
Qualifier
BEST GREETINGS FROM PORTUGAL TO ALL EUROVISION FANS
@ Ruslan Ismayil - zadeh
The Swedish song sucks this year, I`m sorry. After the Ice Queen`s performance with a guy`s voice I`m sure the Armenian song will be heart warming and memorable.
POOR ARMENİA
AFTER SWEDEN I WOULD NOT PERFORM ANYTHING
