YYYYIIIIHHHHAAAA! After the long wait it is finally here: the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest Copenhagen 2014! I think this is a much weaker semi-final in contrast to the first semi-final on Tuesday.
This is my top 15 of the second semi-final tonight:
01. Austria
02. Norway
03. Ireland
04. Romania
05. Slovenia
06. Israel
07. Malta
08. FYR Macedonia
09. Greece
10. Georgia
11. Belarus
12. Lithuania
13. Switzerland
14. Finland
15. Poland
I’m very disappointed that I’m not allowed to vote in this semifinal! 🙁
Of course I hope that my top 10 qualifies, but I think the following 10 countries will qualify for the final (if that has something to do with the quality of the song or anything else is obviously debatable, but I leave that in the middle ;-)):
01. Greece
02. Ireland
03. Israel
04. Lithuania
05. Malta
06. Norway
07. Austria
08. Romania
09. Slovenia
10. Switzerland
Let’s see how many countries I correctly predict this time. Last year I predicted 7 out of 10 countries correct.
Lots of luck to all participants! Do your best and enjoy your moment on stage! Winning is always (a little bit) important, but especially to prove yourself. Don’t forget that all of you are actually already a winner because you have won the right to represent your country at the biggest, most acclaimed, most popular music festival in the world! May the best win! And eventually quality always comes floating to the surface, isn’ it?!
I’d like to wish everyone who will be watching and will be listening all over the world, lots of listening and viewing pleasure tonight! Enjoy the show, the spectacle, the atmosphere, the magic …!
