Semi One is all about the Blahallad - which may result in an upset of two and send some unlikely acts into the final.
Here's my pick for qualifiers (in no particular order).
1. Denmark (she should win this Semi and go into the final as red hot fave)
2. Ireland (Boy Dance Act against all the Ladies will see him through)
3. Serbia (going last in this Semi will help this trio)
4. Russia (Best of the Blahallads)
5. Ukraine (Solid performer and the Bookies rate her chances for the whole comp)
6. Belarus (Judges will ensure this goes through)
7. Moldova (see Belarus)
8. The Netherlands (could be interesting as I do think this may be the big surprise and she may NOT qualify)
9. Estonia (only because I have a soft spot for this nation - heart not head)
10. Slovenia (big wildcard as she's all dubstep in the midst of a lot of Disney songs)
Other two rank outsiders are;
Montenegro - this may sneak in as it's so different to anything else in this Semi (potentially swap out with Slovenia).
Belgium - an outside shot as he's performing late in the Semi and his ballad is up against a lot of lady blahallads. And his brows alone will be worth a vote or seven.
