First Semi-Final Qualifiers

The over-riding feeling I have after listening to the first 17 entrants is that I have not yet heard the winner. Or even perhaps anything with a cast iron likelihood of a Top 5 finish.

The Top 10 Songs I would send through to the final are as follows.

99 Estonia
85 Albania
85 Portugal
80 Moldova
78 Belgium
74 Slovakia
64 Finland
61 Greece
58 Iceland
55 Belarus

On balance, I think Iceland, Albania and Moldova are similar enough that it is more likely that one of them will not make it and Russia's more unique entry will could come through. It would make for a more varied Final if that were so.

38 Russia
34 Latvia
22 Malta
12 Serbia
8 Bosnia Herzegovina
4 Macedonia
1 Poland
