      @liamkampff1 5 месяцев назад +21

      Definitely think Austria and Belgium are the possible shock NQs. I think Belgium is maybe more safe, but I think they both have proven so far that achieving the quality of the studio cuts of their songs live is difficult for them (not impossible) so it'll be uphill a bit for them

      Mid vocals? Why you acting like she needs to sing like Celiene Dion with a dance song lmao. Her vocals are good. It's a dance song, its a performance. As long as she doesn't run out of breath and doesn't sound awful, it's good. And having heard all of the pre parties, she sounded good on all of them. Austria will easily qualify.

    Ok... I have a case on San Marino. One of the reasons that actually killed Achille Lauro in 2022 was the fact that Italy wasn't voting in semifinal 2. Spain is voting in this semifinal, and I see them winning the Spanish vote and getting some points from rock fans all around (even getting more votes than Czechia, which is direct competition). So, there's a path where San Marino could finish in 10th place and qualify.

    There could be a trainwreck moment like Sennek or Pia Maria and maybe one or two important countries would fail to qualify.
    Regarding the pop girlies, we should consider that Italy and Spain will sing and maybe saturate some space for pop girlies. Slimane will sing a killer ballad and maybe also saturate the male ballad genre.
    I think the only one really out of the box and crazy is San Marino and they could benefit from that.

  • @Leon54david
    @Leon54david 5 месяцев назад +3

    Georgia and Latvia are the countries with the most disqualifications since 2017. I have a very good feeling about Nutsa because it's an uptempo song and her vocals are great live (we heard it at the pre-party). The performance will probably be good, and she should qualify. Latvia needs a better staging, something like Kristian Kostov, who was also alone on stage and sang a ballad. Dons has a great performance and vocals (every time at the Pre-parties) and there he has an advantage over Mustii from Belgium. The question is whether televoting wants a song from Belgium or Latvia... Austria was one of my favorites, but the vocals need to be better I think. Albania has more advantages than Malta or Denmark because Switzerland, Italy, and Greece are voting (possible 30 points) and maybe the rest of the world or Belgium/Austria could give them something.... So, Besa has more advantages than Malta, San Marino, Czechia or Denmark at this point

    Of this semi, my favourite is Austria, followed by Georgia, Switzerland and the Netherlands. The other 6 I would want in the final would be Greece, Armenia, Belgium, Denmark, Malta and Norway.
    Now here's an interesting (hot take) question for you; do you think it's possible that Israel could be the biggest wild card this year simply due to the current situation? Like people purposely voting everything else up to keep it from making it in? It's kind of a similar idea to how many people felt Ukraine were voted up (resulting in their win) for their situation in 2022, it's kind of an opposite situation with Israel this year... and I mean this question with the utmost respect because it is a very touchy situation, but I could see a world where this is a very distinct possibility. Thank you for your wonderful analysis vids :)

    Belgium for me has super fallen off since the lives which nothing is really going right for them and the RO means it could stand out as bad risking their slot being taken. Israel is hard to gauge what the vote will look like. It can be assumed they Q but not a guarantee and judging the song alone, they came 19th in televote with a ballad in 2019 and they televote NQed with all other ballads too in 2010, 2013 and 2016 so it’ll all depend on that extra support.

On paper, Belgium is the much better song and has far more hype around it compared to Latvia but I have a feeling the execution won’t be there with Belgium like ‘Burning Daylight’ whereas it will be with ‘Hollow’ which we know is going to be strong vocally and people will end up voting ‘Hollow’ through instead like they did with ‘Watergun’ last year.

      You clearly haven’t watched the rehearsals and the other live performances of Mustii who’s a much better vocalist than Dons. Plus Belgium has the Netherlands and France voting and he will get a huge support from Italy and Spain, plus all the drags. The Belgian song is a million times better than the Latvian, not even a tiny chance that Latvia makes it. He will not get more than 18 points while Mustii will get above 100 points. It’s far more likely that the Netherlands will not qualify.

    cause these three are the strongest vocalists of this group and they all 3 will vocally deliver in a live performance.
    I like the songs of Denmark, Czechia, Norway Austria and Latvia from this group aswell.
    Norway and Latvia are both strong vocalists aswell but both their songs are songs that don't seem to be liked by the larger audience because they are not the typical pop songs people are used to.
    Czechia, Denmark and Austria have the problem that all 3 were vocally weak to mediocre in their live performances so if they don't deliver in the semi finals I don't see them all going through but rather the one that brings it's A Game that day.
    Malta is vocally weak, albania is ok, armenia is a fun song but their lyrics are VERY limited (mainly a repeat of the same for like 3 minutes).
    San Marino is ok too but it doesn't seem to find many fans rallying behind it. Same goes for Estonia I guess.
    Switzerland and The Netherlands will probably go through because of all the following they have.
    Belgium never delivered in the live performances so far so I see him rather bomb in the semis and losing his otherwise secure spot.
    In reality and by all the hate I see online towards Israel, I see them sadly and unfairly punishing Eden Golan by not letting her advance even she is a awesome talent and the song is great though.
    If that really happens it will open the door for one of the acts that definately wouldn't had advanced otherwise.

    Given that the song takes too long until the peak and that Mustii's recent performances didn't sound good I think Belgium is not making it and Latvia comes in and takes their spot because people might prefer something more classic with stronger vocals. And contrary to popular opinion I don't think Armenia is that safe at all. The song might be too repetitive and Armenia doesn't always stage ethnic songs well, so I'm saying San Marino takes their spot. If Belgium and Armenia make it then it's over for Latvia and San Marino. Georgia will just make it. Lowkey I am not so sure about Austria, Denmark or Malta could come in if Kaleen flops live, but I'm living in a world Austria will be good, so I'm gonna say: Norway , Austria , Greece , Switzerland , Netherlands , Estonia, Georgia, San Marino and Latvia. And one more country you know what it is but for some reason when I write the name the comment gets deleted...

      Of course Belgium is a sure qualifier. It’s very delusional to think he isn’t. He has by far the best song in this weak SF and his vocals were top notch during the rehearsals. Plus he will get a huge support from Italy and Spain and the Netherlands and France are voting in this SF too.

    My Prediction are:

    • Greece (wins Battel over Armenia. We all know europe doesnt vot for more than on etnik Entry )
    • Norway
    • Albania ( The diaspora will make it happen)
    • Georgia ( Because Girlbop with amazing voice and ethnik influences)
    • Malta ( Because she has the most challeging danceroutine and still sounds amazing, other than Austria )
    • Latvia ( because its the only classical male ballad in the semi)
    • Belgium (Borderline qualifier because it takes to long to build up, but its still a nice song )
    Shock NQ:
    • Austria (its almost everything Playback and the tiny bits she sings are bad. Malta will advance over her)
    • Armenia ( just because there will be only one fully Ethnik song going trough, which is Greece)
    Could take Belgiums Spot:
    • San Marino ( I think it will be really close between them )
    Out:
    • czechia
    • Denmark
    Non predictable at all;
    • Israel

    @adammarenistak4375 5 месяцев назад +1

    I feel that Armenia may be a nonqualifier. We have 2 similar songs- Greece and Armenia. This can really happen.
    The same situation is Malta and Georgia. Probably only one of these will qualify.
    Czechia will be in the grand final. Staging and vocals will be great and there is no other song like this. I also feel that Denmark can qualify, but this is definitely more jury song than televoting song, and we know that only the viewers vote in this semi. Therefore i think that Czechia has big chances to qualify.
    THIS SEMI IS STRONGER THAN THE FIRST ONE.

    Regarding outright winner: I do like most of your insights; in fact, I do I agree to most of them, however, this year, you've probably focused too much that this is going to be a "reset" year, when in fact, this is a verrrrrrrry POLITICAL year (yet again). For me, predicting Croatia and Switzerland as winners would be a mistake.

    I really don't get how songs like Greece and Israel can be 100% sure qualifiers. And for 2 very different reasons...Starting with Israel, yes the song is very good...but like...legit everyone hates Israel right now...how can they make it to the final in a televote only semi??? Like...i love the song, it's my 7th favourite of this year, but like...surely not right? I just don't see people at home going, ah yes, Israel, going to vote for them. No way. And Greece, i've showed the song to both my family and my friends, and they said it was horrible. Which it was very predictable. I don't 100% hate the song but the song is A MESS. And if the staging is average, there is no way it qualifies. The song is just simply not strong. It's a bang average song at best.
