MY PREDICTIONS

Just finishing up at work (I am doing this on my lunch break) but in the words of one Katherine Janeway of the USS Voyager…..”it’s time to make the call and I am making it………Here are my predictions for the 2 semi-finals.

Semi final 1
Who I want to qualify
Norway
Serbia
Russia
Switzerland
Hungary
Azerbaijan
Armenia
Croatia
Turkey
and for the laugh Portugal

Who I think will qualify
Turkey
Russia
Azerbaijan
Armenia
Greece
Norway
Finland
Albania
Serbia
Switzerland ( I think this is magical and deserves to be here )

Semi final 2
Who I want to qualify
Ireland
Israel
Denmark
Slovenia
Estonia
Bosnia
The Netherlands ( dont like the song but they deserve a break after the fiasco that was last year with Sieneke and sha la lie)
Moldova
Romania
Slovakia ( I know but me likey )

Who I think will qualify
Ireland
Bosnia
Ukraine
Moldova
Sweden
Romania
Estonia
Denmark
Cyprus
and just by the skin on her newly veneered teeth Israel…yes the singing is pants yea the staging is poor yes the song is shite but I am quite nostalgic and I feel it would be a shame if a former winner was to fail and make it past the semi final stage…remember though she is Dana International so has a massive following already and I think she can work a stage like no one else .She will sell it like a bitch and the audience and televoters I hope hope hope they buy it.

And as for a winner ???

Its very very open and even though France is the clear front runner with everyone and I love the song I am not 100% sure that it will walk away with the title as many expect.
So anyone of these could take it Ireland , France , Norway , Estonia , Turkey , Russia , Azerbaijan .

Gun to my head NORWAY !!!!!!!!
