The B&W Hallerne in Copenhagen (pictured) is the building (a warehouse-like building) which will host all three nights of the 59th edition of the EUROVISION Song Contest on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
After posting reviews of the 37 participants, here are the semifinal predictions, starting with the first semifinal on Tuesday.
1. The Common Linnets "The Calm Before the Storm" (Netherlands)
2. Tanja Mihhailova "Amazing" (Estonia)
3. Pollaponk "Enga Fordona" (Iceland)
4. Mariya Yaremchuk "Tick Tock" (Ukraine)
5. Dilara Kazimova "Start a Fire" (Azerbaijan)
6. Andras Kallay Saunders "Running" (Hungary)
7. The Sisters Tolmachevy "Shine" (Russia)
8. Hersi Matmuja "Zemerimi I Nje Nate" (Albania)
9. 'Aram MP3' Sargsyan "Not Alone" (Armenia)
10. Sergej Cetkovic "Moj Svijet" (Montenegro)
Going fishing:
11. Axel Hirsoux "Mother" (Belgium)
12. Valentina Monetta "Maybe/Forse" (San Marino)
13. Suzy Guerra "Quero Ser Tua" (Portugal)
14. Cristina Scarlat "Wild Soul" (Moldova)
15. Sanna Nielsen "Undo" (Sweden)
16. Aarzemnieki "Cake to Bake" (Latvia)
Some notes on this:
1. Netherlands and Estonia are strong songs.
2. Montenegro will finally qualify for the grand final.
3. As much as I want Ukraine and Russia in the final, it may be a bit surprising that the juries might give them low marks, but could rely strongly on votes.
4. Every song can realistically have a good chance of qualifying for the grand final. Even Portugal, San Marino and Latvia have okay to good songs.
Up next: second semifinal predictions.
