MY THOUGHTS AND REASONS BEHIND THE PREDICTIONS:
Iceland - Lost in between Slovenia, Croatia and Finland, I don't think many will vote for Iceland. Unfortunately what I'd call a toilet break.
Azerbaijan - The performance doesn't do enough to warrant voting for. The vocals are good but there's just nothing compelling here to make you want to vote for them.
Australia - I don't think Australia have done enough with the staging to elevate the song. It's good, but followed by better songs in Portugal and Luxembourg. 2000 and Whatever >>>>
Moldova - The audience seemed to really like Moldova, but i just think they'll fall short. I don't know where they'll get their votes from.
Cyprus - There is a lack of the wow factor in this performance, its the first to perform which doesn't help but by the end, you've already forgotten the song and her performance. I think there still will be appeal (dance break) but I don't think it'll be enough to qualify.
Slovenia - RTVSLO messed up the staging, not intimate enough, not dark enough and I think this will transfer to viewers. It has that disharmony between the song and the staging, the song is much more epic than the staging which somehow makes the song worse in my opinion... I'm predicting that the viewers will be put off by this but the song will carry it to JUST qualify.
Serbia - I am very undecided as to whether I think Serbia will gain enough votes to qualify. The song is very slow and the staging really does nothing in my opinion, and it fails to stand out. The song is good though, and along with Teya Dora being a known artist, I think it'll be enough to qualify.
Portugal - I'm worried for Portugal as I am not entirely sure who will vote for them. Its an amazing song and performance, worthy of easily qualifying but a part of me is in doubt as to who will actually take the effort to vote for them.
Luxembourg - The last song ALWAYS is remembered, and this is a good song without a doubt. Her energy and charisma is exerted through her performance and following songs like Portugal, Australia and Azerbaijan means its guaranteed to get some votes, the only upbeat song really out of the 4.
Poland - Diaspora voting will play a big part in this. And that is what I think will get them past the line. The staging concept is tacky in my opinion, but is memorable, and does appeal to a certain audience.
Ukraine - Again, a stonewall qualifier for me, people will definitely vote for Ukraine, its a given, but also the song and staging are both really good. The anthemic vibe I feel will resonate a lot with the audience and will definitely get people voting.
Lithuania - The vibes of this song is amazing! Brings the energy to the show and the crowd loved it as well! I can't see this not qualifying.
Ireland - BIGGEST surprise of the evening. I really think people will vote for this, its very out there and its something you will definitely remember. It is such a unique performance and it is this quality that makes me believe it will qualify, it'll be the first song people talk about from this semi.
FInland - This is comedic gold. Fans will love this a lot and especially those who watch to see 'Eurovision' type songs. This, to me, is the epitome of Eurovision, and although it isn't the greatest song (in my opinion), the performance definitely does make up for it. 100% qualifying.
Croatia - The bookies' favourite to win, of course there's no way this will NOT qualify. Staging was very similar to the national final, with the audience loving it in the second semi-final. This accompanied with the pre-existing hype around the song really makes me think it'll win the semi. Even if I'm not the biggest fan.

Azerbaijan is worthy to high places.Because the music is amazing and very different from other songs for unusualness.We sing in our native language and in english.There is mugham in our music.Which is considered the crown of Azerbaijan's musical art.🇦🇿❤️
Good luck everybody.
