Who will fail to qualify for the first time?

He sings, like, 3 notes in falsetto, not an entire chorus. If that your basis for comparing the two, we can just assume every single electronic dance entry will do well from now on, seeing as how Sweden won last year with "Euphoria".

I was only trying to find a comparison that's all, jeez! 1

Romania! no doubt about that! the song is terrible...

 

[Krishoes]

Ukraine, Russia, Greece and Azerbaijan will qualify with any doubts.

Cezar, in my opinion, doesn't deserve the final but there are many Romanians around Europe and SVT has also positioned him at the end (don't know why!), so, he can easily reach the final. It seems we need at least a silly song in the final (any reference to Russian grannies is random).

I didn't get the Russian grannies last year. How can baking cookies on stage win them second place?

Massive media attention. I'm sure a good chunk of last year's audience was lured to the show by the grannies. I'm not surprised nor mad that they finished second: they didn't deserve to win, but they were by far the most talked-about act of the year and probably propped up the audience numbers even more than Loreen.

Also stupidity. The televoters only have Loreen a total of 12 points more than they gave the grannies. Idiocy.

I think 11 points.343-332.
And hey,who knows if the draw was different,grannies were in n.6 and Loreen in n.17.But if it was the opposite?

The grannies also got 1 top mark of 12 (from Belarus)

I made a deal with SVT I told them that I will turn off my telly when Cezar starts to sing, thats why he is last

Voted Romaina earlier, but I changed my mind: They will all qualify.

Me too!

I had voted for azerbaijan, as I had a secret hope of them not qualifying this time, but after today's performance I had to unvote, of course I did. All we can do now is pray that they don't win. Stunning performance, lousy song.
I believe tehy will all qualify now.

That's basically what Azerbaijan does every single year. That said, this is one of their best entries, if not the best entries, all in all, they've ever sent. I don't want them to win, though.

After watching the rehearsals, I believe Russia might be the one.

i don't want us to win either too many traffic jams :twisted:
nevertherless you don't need to worry about it, we aren't going to win anyway

Serious??? Like serious?????? They can just walk on stage and qualify (I know they risked failing in 2011 with a shaky performance, but they did qualify in the end, and this year they have a better performer)

 

[Jim]

After the rehearsals, I believe that all these countries will qualify 100%!

 

[FilipFromSweden]

I hope Russia

Well, not really, no. It's a weak, shortest ever semi final and only 6 will fail, so Russia will probably make it, but I believe it will be a close thing. She may hit all the notes, she does, but song is way too cheesy and the performance has only enhanced that. Very poor all in all.
