BigPoll: 10/10 Eurovision Qualifiers

esctoday.com readers have correctly predicted the ten qualifiers of the first Eurovision Song Contest semi final for the first time. Adding together the top nine songs from the televote and 'jury choice', readers correctly predicted the ten qualifying songs.

escotoday.com readers predicted that the top nine songs in the televote would be joined by Israel in the final. Whilst we will not know which of the ten songs qualified as the jury choice until Saturday after the final, it's a 100% success for the BigPoll and the changes introduced by esctoday.com to improve the reliability of the result.

The ten qualifiers are:

1.Turkey
2.Bosnia Herzegovina
3.Sweden
4.Iceland
5.Malta
6.Finland
7.Romania
8.Armenia
9.Portugal

Predicted Jury choice: Israel

This is the first time that a poll has correctly predicted the outcome of a Eurovision Song Contest semi final.

Our thanks go to our readers and members, and we hope that esctoday.com can correctly predict the outcome of the second semi final on Thursday.

for dimitris
I respect your opinion; I do not agree with it!
Speaking of good performances, Elena, Chiara and Yohanna were the best THAT night. PERIOD!
And not to forget, I prefer not to see Greece in the final first ten, because they have such a KITCHY song and performance.
My opinion...

The first semi-final ended better than I first thought. Fortunately it passed Portugal, Bosnia&Herzegovina, Sweden, Malta, Finland, Iceland, and also Israel. Actually from the passing songs I just don't like the song from Armenia this year. Sorry guys, not that good this year.

So far in My TOP is, no order: Iceland, Portugal, Norway and Malta. I also like very much the entries from Finland and Bosnia&Herzegovina.

10 out of ten? great for all the ppl who casted votes..
Thanks,but Mira and Noa didn't need the jury vote to qualify -they are great without help!
As for "jury" who help Sweden pass in 2008- most esc fans so as I can see it,it might be those appreciated songs like Finland or Romania,songs who did not deserved their qualification-in my taste!

i could expect 9/10... i was expecting montenegro will qualify and israel will stay in semi... and it should be like that.. montenegro was great and deserved top 5 in this semi, but israel was really so weak for a ballad.. although israel it was one of the less suprisefull semifinal..
and here is my prediction for 2nd semifinal :
1.Norway
2.Azerbaijan
3.Estonia
4.Greece
5.Ukraine
6.Serbia
7.Lithuania
8.Slovenia
9.Albania/Hungary
jurry's qualifier : Poland

If anyone deserved to qualify last night, it was Finland :) The entry was just magnificent and stands out head and shoulders above most others. Well done!!! :)

@ dimitris calling - "Romania was so kitch!!!I would prefer to see Switzerland in the final istead of romania even though their vocals were not good"
I agree with all this; I love Switzerland's song but it just didn't work live, unfortunately, the vocals were quite bad... :S
