First qualifiers predicted

Eurovision Big Poll: The first results

The esctoday.com BigPoll for the first semi final closes at 17:00 CET today. Whilst the poll continues, the results are steadying out and the first prediction about who will qualify from tonight's Eurovision Song Contest semi final are clear. At this time, esctoday.com has decided to declare the first four countries predicted to qualify from tonight's show. They are (in alphabetical order), Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iceland, Sweden and Turkey.

The esctoday.com Big Poll is the largest and most reliable prediction tool for guessing the outcome of the Eurovision Song Contest. Until now, more than 96,000 predictions have been made. These predictions have been grouped into each country, and then points awarded according to the Eurovision Song Contest voting system.

Much as with a political election, although the poll has not yet closed, some results seem to be beyond doubt. For that reason, esctoday.com has decided to announe the preliminary results. The four countries at the top of the prediction poll seem certain to qualify according to the esctoday.com readers. They lead the poll by a substantial margin.

The first four countries that esctoday.com readers predict will qualify are (in alphabetical order):

  • Bosnia and Herzegovina
  • Iceland
  • Sweden
  • Turkey
  • The country that has shown the strongest increase in votes this week (without giving it's overall position) is: Israel

The full list of 10 countries predicted to qualify will be announced shortly after 17:00 CET today. Stay tuned to esctoday.com for the information.

"Also, I want to point out that many people talk as though only Turks vote for Turkey. But I’m sure that many people who are not Turks have voted for Turkish songs. It’s absurd in my eyes to always talk about the diaspora. What if Turkey comes up with the best song ever next year and wins... would it yet again be blamed on the diaspora?"

This is so true!!
I'm Norwegian, and I voted like crazy for Turkey last year!! I LOVE "Deli", and I've even bought one of Mor Ve Ötesi's albums; lots of great songs!
This year I'm afraid I don't like the Turkish entry much. I prefer the entries from Switzerland and Bosnia&Herzegovina, and for once I also love our own entry. I haven't done that since 2003.

Best of luck to everyone tonight!!
(And to use a phrase from an MGP-entry I didn't like much this year; I'M GETTING BUTTERFLIES!!)
