Oops... It seems Turkey is not gonna get any point from Germany in the 2nd semi. Anyway, they always manage to qualify for the Final.
On the other hand, Spain wouldn't be able to give points to Romania nor Armenia, as they usually do (good for Portugal).
I think it will be a little bit hard for Finland to qualify for the Final since only Iceland (from the Nordic Countries) will vote in the 1st semi, and their song is not that strong (in my opinion).
they cant if they send they send a similar song as last year I have nothing against Serbia in the final if they have a good song.
@sanka
As I said before, if Spain and Albania would've the televoting in Semi 2 last year, then Serbia would pass! 
Serbia is 1 of the countries which can easily pass to the Final!
As i already said - people kept telling the same thing about Serbia last year - did they pass ? that " yugovision " is not that serious. If its a crappy song , it wont pass. Neighbour voting doesent seem to ne a very big problem anymore , Dispora problem in the other hand doesent seem to get any better .
@sanka
Nobody knows that yet! I just said, that the countries with strong diasporas and strong neighbour relations ( don't want to mention them again, coz know them really well )will pass easily to Final, u will see! Because even the juries were biased last year, and so will they this year again!
you're sure you're sure , in that case it would be the time for you to tell us who will win esc .
@YEREVAN JAN
I couldn't understand ur last comment! 
About Ukraine, I think u should listen to the Ukrainian representatives' ( I have forgot the name ) all the 3 songs! 
They are all great! I'm sure Ukraine will do well this year in Oslo!
@YEREVAN JAN
Kurds have nothing to do with Armenians, but lots of Kurds are supporting Armenia in some issues ( don't want to speak about them )!
*would receive many points from these 2 countries with only televoting and would pass to the Final
@Lina !!!
Georgia, Romania and Azerbaijan for 90%? 
I think u meant 100%! I'm sure that these 3 countries will pass easily to the Final!
@sanka
The juries voted in Spain and Albania in Semifinal 2! So, I'm sure Serbia would receive many points from these 2 countries and would pass to the Final!
i remember people saying the the same thing about Serbia last year - oh , they will pass with no problem , did they ?
in second semi 3 countries is sure that will pass to the final: Armenia, Turkey and Ukraine, also 3 countries have 90% to be in the final : Azerbaijan, Georgia and Romania. So only 4 empty places left 
First semi for sure is better beacuse only 4 countries is for sure in the final : Greece, Russia, Bosnia and Serbia .
a good draw for ireland!!!
@YEREVAN JAN
No, Turks with Armenian roots!
*it IS
@YEREVAN JAN
I didn't said that it ISN'T diaspora ( Azeris in Russia ), is IS, but not a STRONG one! And about the Armenian diaspora in Turkey, there are about 70000-90000 Armenians here in Turkey and more than one million 'Turkish-Armenians'! And +40000 Armenians, who came new here to Turkey illegally for working!
@sanka
In Wikipedia ( the Turkish part ), there is a statistic that 2,1% of the population in Estonia are Azeris! *-)
thats not actually my decision either you feel insulted or not. And there is no Azeris in Estonia ( dont know about Latvia and Lithuania).
Yay, we(UK) able to vote for Ireland!
@YEREVAN JAN
Btw, 600000 Azeris in Russia IS diaspora, but not much! ;Russia's population is over 100 million, so, 600000 Azeris are nothing! But look at Moldova, there are 5000 Azeris, that's much, and why? Coz the population of Moldova is just 1,4 million!
@YEREVAN JAN
I know, but the countries with strong relations will help each other with juries AND with televoting like last year again! 
U will see, these countries that I mentioned below will all pass from Semifinal to Final, even when their songs will be all crap!
*Ukraine
heeeeeeeeeeey guys we havent diaspora.hhehehehe.if we have, we will be very so strong about our problems ))
we have diaspora a few countries.
yeah in turkey and in russia have a lot of azeris but its not mean that they r diaspora
@YEREVAN JAN
And don't forget Greece, Ukraine, Romania, B&H, Serbia, ...! 
@shukru dinckaya
Turkey will pass to the Final this year, u will see!
im still so nreveous for turkey .... i dont know why ??
@TurQuality Fire
Azerbaijan IS a diaspora country like Greece, Romania, Turkey, ...! There are many Azeris in many Eastern-European countries like Moldova, Belarus, Ukrane, Poland, Hungary, Czech Rep., Russia, the Baltic countries, ..., and a few Azeris in Western-European countries!
