Will the odds aren't a prediction on who will win/not qualify - It's based on who is getting a lot of bets.
A lot of people are betting on countries that are low in the betting odds on the off chance some miracle happens and they win, they'll end up making a few lil coins (unless they put a lot on and then they make a lot of coins )
The bookies then shorten the odds because they dont want to end up having to pay out a lot of money. Which is why the UK are so high up.

I don't think Israel will qualify (I can't remember their though song)
Don't forget that if Greece qualifies their song is in Greek, Pontic Greek and English, so it's 60% in English with the remaining 40% in Pontic Greek and Greek. Greece always qualifies if they have a mix of Greek and English, the jury and audience seem to like their entries, look at Alcohol Is Free, Watch My Dance, and OPA, these had some English in them as well as Greek and they did extremely well in the Grand Final.
Anything can happen don't rule out Russia. I don't want Sergey to win since it's a carbon copy of last years winner but if thats what European gays want they will get it for sure.
Can you put "Eurovision" back in the title and delete "be ready" please. You're just sabotaging the thread for the newcomers that will want to check the thread tonight.
I've done this for the past 2 years, and I love doing it + it might be helpful, so here are the youtube views 2 hours before the semi-final:
1. Malta - 4,384,487
2. Azerbaijan - 3,660,211
3. Armenia - 3,477,236
4. Russia - 2,514,483
5. Bosnia & Herzegovina - 2,379,490 (how? )
6. The Netherlands - 1,895,433 (same question as above)
7. Czech Republic - 1,762,715
8. Croatia - 1,415,482
9. Cyprus - 1,255,203
10. Greece - 1,163,035
11. Iceland - 988,049
12. Hungary - 969,623
13. Austria - 864,869
14. Estonia - 688,846
15. Montenegro - 567,620
16. Finland - 499,320
17. San Marino - 475,281
18. Moldova - 419,497
Likes/Dislikes are coming up in a few. Impressive how almost the entire top 10 has at least 1 million views. So much better compared to the other years.

Time to give the heterosexuals the power like in 2006, I guess!
