With more than 50 people having voted in the prediction poll for the first semi-final, I decided to close it early so that I could start a similar one for the second semi, prior to completing my reviews of it.
Interestingly (for me), nine out of the ten songs predicted to qualify for the final by voters matched mine, with the only exception being Slovenia, who more people feel are likely to make it than my dark horses Teräsbetoni for Finland.
The ten countries that will qualify based on the results of this poll (number one being the one that received the most votes and so on) are:
01. Greece
02. Russia
03. Armenia
04. Norway
05. Bosnia and Herzegovina
06. Ireland
07. Romania
08. Azerbaijan
09. Slovenia
10. Israel
There was a high level of consensus in the poll, with virtually all of the top 7 ranked songs receiving the support of every other voter. The results also suggest that the final qualification spot could be a close race between a handful of countries, although in reality of course it will be the juries who decide.
Apart from Israel, the poll suggests that the early part of the draw in the first semi-final could be a qualification-free zone, with things looking particularly grim for newcomers San Marino. Still, everything comes down to those three minutes in Belgrade, and they may yet surprise us all.
The poll for the second semi-final is now open. Happy voting!
