I’m hoping for a nice polka to Moldova’s song too!

Armenia is cute!

 

[PRlady]

Armenia needs a fashion consultant.

Too many GFBs tonight. Do they think this is figure skating or something?

 

[marbri]

Oh I like this song too.

 

[Hanna]

That's a lot of post-it's. Reminds me of the Ice Challenge!

 

[tony]

I thought most of the songs were meh, but the only one that was completely awful was Latvia. Definitely 17th place for me by a long way.

Moldova, Denmark, Norway, and Albania were my absolute favorites in that order, followed by Lithuania, Iceland, and Austria (Austria I couldn't figure out if I liked or hated, but it's catchy).

The rest of them were just okay.

If it's top 10, my other three would be Bulgaria, Portugal, and Armenia.

To be fair after two years of covid one might consider these all upbeat

 

[marbri]

I think this will be the first year I don't throw a vote to a Nordic country.
Ukraine. Then Moldova for Miffy and I need to decide who between NED, Armenia and Greece I will throw one.

 

[miffy]

I really would struggle to choose 7 songs to NOT qualify tonight. I think it’s a really strong selection. I’m trying very hard not to care too much (apart from Moldova haha) as I’ll be sad for almost anyone who doesn’t make it tonight!

 

[Hanna]

Ukraine and NED had better make it through! Preferably also Moldova and Norway.

 

[allezfred]

Think Croatia, Slovenia, Bulgaria and Switzerland are out. After that who knows?

I say NED. Although I did also like Greece!

Latvia. Please.

 

[allezfred]

Ukraine, Netherlands and Norway are safe.

 

[marbri]

I say NED. Although I did also like Greece!

I choose NED

YOu got lucky, I mistakenly gave two votes to Moldova

 

[allezfred]

Latvia. Please.

It could qualify. Polarising entries tend to do so.

 

[allezfred]

I choose NED

Greece is partly Norwegian so you didn’t throw anything to the Nordics at all too.

 

[marbri]

Most of my votes went to Ukraine.
I will confess I caved and threw one to Denmark. Just because. I don't think Norway needed my help.

 

[airgelaal]

My prediction

Switzerland
Ukraine
Moldova
Portugal
Austria
Iceland
Norway
Croatia
Greece
Denmark

 

[marbri]

So who here can vote and willing to throw Iceland a bone?

 

[miffy]

YOu got lucky, I mistakenly gave two votes to Moldova

Wheee I’ll vote for 2 of yours Thursday!

 

[tony]

Based on Ukraine being the favorites to win (even though I preferred last year x1000) and Netherlands almost surely being into the final, I'd guess:

Moldova, Denmark, Norway, Albania, Lithuania, Netherlands, Ukraine, Iceland, Austria, and maybe Portugal?

Austria is one of those songs I still can't figure out if I like or hate, so if it doesn't qualify I won't be shocked. I liked Bulgaria better than most of those slower songs in the middle, but they probably are out.
