Slovenia is going out as #1
Remember Azerbaijan 2010? #1 and they ended #5. Everything is possible

Slovenia is not Azerbaijan though. The last time they were in top 10 was in 2001

Doesn't matter. If the song is good it will be on top!

Slovenia's performance was underwhelming imo

There was something off with the sound. The music was too loud you could barely hear her voice.

yas!!

Yep. Nothing special.

they needed to do one ballad, one uptempo right?

so why

12 australia
13 belgium

two almost uptempos or weirdos what we can call belgium and then

14 austria
15 greece

two ballads :/

people who are doing running order don't know results from semifinales

results is known only by Jon Ola and probably one or two more people. They year by year tell the same story: producers dont know results.

are you sure? imagine france, armenia, cyprus, greece, russia, poland and hungary back to back after themeselves.

or even worse, imagine sweeden, UK, israel and australia back to back...

They wanted to push 2 of the favourites? (Australia/Belgium)
We knew Austria's position already. They didn't have much options. Any country from the second half could have been at Greece's position since it's packed with ballads.

that's why i'm for full producers control, not even drawning first/second halfs.

or back to random order.

or go alphabetically (hahaha and sweden, slovenia last xd)

i just was thinking, this is alphabetical order, isn't more interesting?

1 albania Elhaida Dani
2 armenia Genealogy
3 australia Guy
4. austria the makemakes
5. azerbaijan elur
6. belgium lorde-like (who i love)
7. cyprus john
8. estonia a.k.a. best duo
9. france best ballad
10. georgia warrior
11. germany black smoke
12. greece celine-like
13. hungary boogieland
14. israel golden boy
15. italy boys
16. latvia winner
17. lithuania kisses
18. montengero boringness
19. norway second best duo and ballad, a monster like me, a true winner
20. poland
21. romania
22. russia
23. serbia
24. slovenia an actual fair position for this magic song
25. spain
26. sweden the winner
27. united kingdom the end with the boom

If Sweden wins with that trashy song

Polina has soon 3m views from her performance in the first semi final... wow!

Did anyone else notice that white thingy on Mans face during the close up? What was that?

Iceland not passing while Montenegro did
Russia will have my vote in the final. So happy they're 25th! How dare they put Slovenia 1st tho

I can't wait to see how Spain will translate on TV. If Edurne was singing in English I believe they'd have a good chance at #1.

In case 1, it becomes hell as soon as Armenia comes on stage to conjure up Georgia. Greece would wake people back up, Russia would be shiny and then nap time. I swear I think this happened in 2007 (which the automatic 10-Big5 were assigned spots and then the winning semifinalists were assigned spots based on their envelope being drawn which is entirely different)

As for 2, Sweden would have the win locked by Australia.

In either case at least it was random and not JOS demanding Sweden get a plum slot and shove France wherever the hell you want to.
