So the first Semi-Final of the 56th Eurovision Song Contest took place last night and the ten countries that qualified are as follows:

  • Serbia,
  • Lithuania,
  • Greece,
  • Azerbaijan,
  • Georgia,
  • Switzerland,
  • Hungary,
  • Finland,
  • Russia,
  • Iceland

The results go to show the pot allocation and the jury votes have stopped the block voting with Armenia and Turkey missing out on qualifiacation. Delighted that Iceland and Finland go through. Last night was definitely a victory for songs rather then countries with Switzerland first qualification from the Semi-Finals! A lovely song!

So what does the running order for the final look like now?

  1. Finland
  2. -
  3. -
  4. Lithuania
  5. Hungary
  6. -
  7. -
  8. -
  9. Greece
  10. Russia
  11. France
  12. Italy
  13. Switzerland
  14. United Kingdom
  15. -
  16. Germany
  17. -
  18. -
  19. Azerbaijan
  20. -
  21. Iceland
  22. Spain
  23. -
  24. Serbia
  25. Georgia

The ideal draw for Jedward will be 17, 18 or 20, with a Ballad drawn in the others! We need to avoid the number 2 spot!!

So can you predict who will fill the remaining ten places? Have a go here!
