Eurovision 2011 semi predictions

It is about time I make it official: My prediction for the Eurovision semi finals coming up this week.

Qualifiers from semi final 1 in order of probability:

1. Russia
2. Azerbaijan
3. Finland
4. Armenia
5. Turkey
6. Norway
7. Hungary
8. Serbia
9. Greece
10. Switzerland

Lithuania is the one coming closest to ruining this perfect 10.


Qualifiers from semi final 2 in order of probability:

1. Bosnia
2. Denmark
3. Estonia
4. Ukraine
5. Sweden
6. Romania
7. Ireland
8. Moldova
9. Netherlands
10. Bulgaria

The 10th spot is all open between Bulgaria, Israel and Austria, but I'll go with Bulgaria, 'cause it's simply the best song of those three.

This year will be the first year since 2005 I'm not watching the final live from the arena. On the upside that means I do actually get to vote. There's no doubt about who my fingers will be texting for in the final. On Saturday my heart will be Estonian.



That said, I wouldn't mind going somewhere warm for Eurovision 2012, like Paris!
