I know we've got a thread going for predicting the running order, but I want to talk specifically of who's performing first.

Here's what I think:
TL;DR: :uk:

The producers are gonna want to start the show off with a bang; something that says "Eurovision is back!". I think Embers is the perfect uptempo, feel good song to start off with. :gr: and :rs: also have a shot at opening imo, but Last Dance doesn't sound right as an opener, and Serbia's act could be considered a bit in-your-face (not that I necessarily agree with that assessment).

Here's why it's not going to be any of the other songs that drew first half:
:al: Not high energy enough
:be: Not high energy enough
:cy: Too risky to start a family-friendly show with a song about the devil
:is: They'll want to choose a live performance since that's more likely to get the crowd pumped
:il: Idk it just doesn't seem like the vibe
:mt: Too high in the betting odds
:pt: Not high energy enough
:ru: Similar to Cyprus, might drive away a certain audience
:es: Not high energy enough
:ch: Not high energy enough, too high in the betting odds
