By the way I love seeing William and Deban together again. That is my favorite Wiwi duo.
Long overdue!
They were split?
LET' S go Serbia and Croatia you can do it ❤🇭🇷🇷🇸❤
Serbia✅
Crotia❌
Can but want 😂😂😂😂
@@user-nm6io7ni5k hhaah i hope it will pass 🤝❤
My predictions;
Sweden
Finland
Israel
Norway
Serbia
Switzerland
Portugal
Croatia
Moldova
Latvia (malta too)
One of worst predictions I've ever seen
I would change Moldova for either Latvia or Malta. I think the real question is which of those 2 goes through, if Czechia flops
@@sergey.m5526 okay, sit down
@@irene6119 OMG how I forgot it
@@Artpop69 your comment is edited so just shows how bad your first set of qualifiers were
My 10 qualifiers (not in any particular order)
Croatia
Finland
Portugal
Norway
Serbia
Israel
Moldova
Czechia
Latvia
Sweden
Great choice. My ideal scenario would be either Latvia🇱🇻 or Malta🇲🇹 in the finals+these other 9 countries (🇫🇮🇸🇪🇳🇴🇮🇱🇲🇩🇭🇷🇷🇸🇵🇹🇨🇿) and 🇨🇭and 🇳🇱 out. But I think that more realistic is that 🇨🇭 gonna pass.
@@nikolag.-rb5ql Czechia was good
My predictions:
Sweden
Serbia
Finland
Croatia
Czechia
Israel
Norway
Switzerland
Moldova
Portugal
Mine too!
I think this is the most realistic scenario. But personally I would like to see Latvia🇱🇻 or Malta🇲🇹 in the finals instead of Switzerland🇨🇭.
@@nikolag.-rb5ql But Switzerland is good those years and this year as well, 2019,2020,2021,2022,2023
@@nikolag.-rb5ql All those 5 years Switzerland put in these songs so lot of work for that they would qualify into Grand Final
@@iphone8756 I don't say that is bad.between two ballads in SF 1 🇨🇭 is much better that 🇳🇱. and I think that he's gonna pass. With jury in the semi he would be safer because juries like ballads and my Croatia🇭🇷 will probably flop. I said this because I really like Latvia🇱🇻, they are underdogs which a lot of people like and they can pass through.
My prediction (random):
Sweden 🇸🇪
Finland 🇫🇮
Czechia 🇨🇿
Israel 🇮🇱
Norway 🇳🇴
Serbia 🇷🇸
Latvia 🇱🇻
Portugal 🇵🇹
Moldova 🇲🇩
Croatia 🇭🇷
Why you stayed out Switzerland
My qualifiers (in random order): Portugal, Norway, Israel, Sweden, Malta, Finland, Czechia, Serbia, Moldova, Switzerland.
These two are hilarious. They’re like the best duo in the eurovision world😭 I LOVE Deban, he’s got me laughing out loud and I agree with every word of his. Can’t wait for the next prediction video.❤
Thank you soo much from Serbia ❤
Hug from Serbia Deban.Luke Black is the best!!!
i need Serbia and Finland ofc but let's talk about Portugal. perfect scenario : Mimicat qualifying, getting 2nd half in the final and finishing top 10. it would be a great revenge after being underrated for a long time
🤣 delusional
I totally agree with you. Tradition, talent and we all want to dance with her.
Let’s hope Serbia will advance to the finals. I am always anxious about artistic entries, as I am not sure will it be properly accepted by the audience. ❤
I love them
Me too. Serbia is amazing at ESC. I can't believe how much Serbian I've learned from ESC songs alone!
Conan Osiris, never forget!! 😭
But Finland and Israel????
We know about Israel, Sweden, Finland and Norway for sure but I keep fingers crossed for Latvia ❤🔥
Latvia and Serbia!
Thank You Ruzanna from Latvia 🙂🎉
I wonder why everyone is so sure about Israel honestly
Latvia should quality it's sooo good
Dont be so sure about Norway
My prediction (from Latvia):
Obvious: Sweden, Finland, Norway, Israel, Moldova, Serbia
99,9% likely: Croatia, Czechia (despite not so convincing vocals, people will vote it through, because they love the song too much), Portugal
Quite likely for the last spot: Switzerland, Netherlands (both have enough friendly voting countries to rely on)
50/50: Latvia
Less than likely: Malta (if it wasn't "Eat your salad 2.0" (instrumentally), I would rate it's chances better), Azerbaijan
Would need a miracle: Ireland
Despite my quite pessimistic prediction of our (Latvian) entry, I really hope I'm wrong and there will be enough people to vote us through, because this song deserves it as it's one of the best songs we've ever sent.
Switzerland barely has any diaspora abroad, maybe if you are talking about neighbor voting then yes. Hope Latvia qualifies instead.
Yea, Deban! I need Latvia and Malta in the final!
Cant wait to see all these songs on the Tuesday afternoon. So many of my favourites in this semi. These are Finland, Sweden, Serbia, Moldova, Portugal, Norway and 🇨🇿. X
Yaaaaassss! More vids with William and Deban please! Love you guys ❤
Serbia
Norway
Portugal
Malta
Sweden
Moldova
Israel
Netherlands
Finland
Czechia
Let's go Portugal!!! ❤️❤️❤️🇵🇹 Ai coração 🇵🇹❤️❤️❤️
I laugh so MUCH with you two 😆 PLEASE we need you more guys, that's the DUO that we want and need ❤
I love these videos! Love the disagreement between them two haha! I really hope Latvia scrapes through!
Great to see you guys in the same room again. This season has missed this. Hopefully deban makes it to the contest this year.
In recent years I have tentatively started to trust the Eurovision audience's taste more, so I have hope for Latvia.
My prediction:🇸🇪 🇫🇮 🇮🇱 🇭🇷 🇳🇴 🇷🇸 🇲🇩🇵🇹(🇨🇿 🇳🇱 if the performances are good)
Yes I agree ...
I remember last year Austria was in my top 5 before finals .
But after the show they in my bottom 5 ....
And I really hope Serbia qualify for you ...Best wishes 😊
Switzerland ?
@@gilmourattard3625 i think it wont be memorable enough to Q but its still possible
PORTUGAL’S song is absolutely brilliant! Superb ! Get ready for Lisbon 2024 !! B
I only want Portugal and Latvia to qualify 🇵🇹❤️🇱🇻
❤❤
Same! I'm going to spend all my votes on those two (assuming the US is part of the Rest of the World voting)
That’s never a good sign if you must count on neighbours to get trough. I don’t know if a jury free semi is the best idea! I want Latvia to get to the final so bad. It’s a really good song
I remember many times, than jury was much more geopolitical than televote. So I believe, that it is good experiment and also good for Latvia. 🎉🙂
What s really sad is the nationalistic vote from the diaspora, who vote for the song even if they do not like it/ they do not listen it. This always happen with the same countries. Let's vote for good music, not only base on your nationality / origins.
@@martinszupa5820 i didn’t say that because of Latvia. I said it in generell. Because wiwi said it like that: oh this country has Italy Germany Swiss on their side etc.
Vesna may be a surprise NQ, their song pops because of a story-narrating music video which has lots of sets, dancers and costumes. The studio is also so much different from their lives. I believe their stage performance will not match up to the expectations set by music video, and their vocals won’t be as good, also no more room for dancers. Doubting their qualification chances for past month.
Yes! I hope they can somehow recreate the atmosphere from the music video though
Their song deserve to qualify, their song is better than previous year
I feel so sad Latvia and Ireland are in this semi final. It’s a though one. And I rlly want them to be in the final! They perform so goodddd🙏
what I predict will go through: Sweden, Finland, Norway, Israel, Moldova, Croatia, Switzerland, Serbia, Czechia, Netherlands
what I want to go through: Sweden, Israel, Serbia, Switzerland, Malta, Czechia, Portugal, Netherlands, Norway, Latvia
my very unpopular opinion is that i can't stand finland and would be very angry if it beat loreen and won the whole thing as to me it's just noise like i can't see an appeal?!?!? i've tried so many times to get into it but i just can't do it LOL
absolutely loved this video btw :) :)
My predictions:
Finland 🇫🇮
Sweden 🇸🇪
Norway 🇳🇴
Israel 🇮🇱
Serbia 🇷🇸
Czechia 🇨🇿
Portugal 🇵🇹
Moldova 🇲🇩
Switzerland🇨🇭
Croatia 🇭🇷
The flag you put for serbia is slovenia😂 this is serbias flag:🇷🇸
@@selmaj8419 You're right, I'll correct it. sorry
Switzerland is so underrated this year. It‘s in my top 5 🇨🇭
Norway. Serbia. Portugal. Croatia. Switzerland or Latvia. Israel. Moldova. Sweden. Czechia. Finland.
I would be disappointed if Loreen wins just because we already saw her winning it with the similar song 11 years ago
Well you will be disappointed. Evan if the song is "similar" to 2012, in this year its the best. Vocals, preformence, her outfit, everything is gonna be amazing and she will win.
My predictions:
Jury: 250
Televote: 160
Overall: 410🎉🎉
@@BeatriseKrokforda u gave us points which is rly subjective way of thinking, we can't say for sure when it comes to points, everything could happen at this point... But what I hope is that ppl will realize that the performance is nothing special like her song, other performances was waaay more interesting and better. If someone else sung this song it wouldn't even be in top 5 but just because it's a Loreen ppl think it's a potential winner.. And she is... But I wanna see Käärijä winning this show because he has unique song and it's rly lvl above anything we saw recently in Eurovision.
1. Serbia 🇷🇸🦞❤
2. Sweden 🇸🇪
3. Norway 🇧🇻
4. Finland 🇫🇮
5. Czechia 🇨🇿
6. Israel 🇮🇱
7. Moldova 🇲🇩
8. Croatia 🇭🇷
9. Switzerland 🇨🇭
10. Portugal 🇵🇹
This is upside down 😂
@@ruimiranda9304 Your brain is upside down 😂
@@ruimiranda9304 Serbian song is art.
@@nenamilic3149 is it? It makes me sleepy 😴 lol 😂. Let’s see if Serbia has more points than Portugal. I know that Slovenia, Croatia and Montenegro will give many points even if the song stinks, but nevertheless…
Love the banter between you two, always makes me laugh. I am really hoping we get wiwijury videos this year.
Cannot wait for the video! :)
1. Serbia
2. Sweden
3. Finland
Latvia NEEDS to be in the final! Everyone who can, please vote for them. (I'm so pissed that Greece is not on the same semi and I can't vote for them). 🇱🇻❤️🇬🇷
Oh it’s so nice to see you guys together
You two made me start watching Eurovision chat a while ago, you guys are funny as, good luck to whoever goes to the final you two crack me up ☮❤
Hi William and Deban and team wiwibloggs these are my 10 qualifiers for the first semi final: Finland, Sweden, Norway, Portugal,
Switzerland, The Netherlands, Ireland, Latvia, Malta, and Israel.
But good luck to all!
Deban does this every year - he lets personal preference totally win out over logic - of COURSE Croatia are going through, it’s one of the most crazy, televote-friendly entries this year; especially in a year following the pandemic, in a war, people are gonna eat the fun UP. Lest we forget Moldova took that position last year, the fun one - Deban said there was no way it was getting through and it came SECOND in the televote in the final 🤷♀️ He gives William such a hard time for saying “this isn’t a list of preferences, this is a list of predictions” but that is the point of these videos and it’s honest. William also usually gets a lot more correct than Deban does year on year lmao so…I still think Malta and Latvia will be out but just like William it’s not that I don’t like them, I just don’t think they’ll catch the attention they will need in a pure televote semi.
Oh yeah: my predictions are 🇸🇪 🇫🇮 🇭🇷 🇨🇿 🇷🇸 🇳🇴 🇮🇱 🇵🇹 🇲🇩 🇨🇭
My preferences are 🇸🇪 🇫🇮 🇭🇷 🇨🇿 🇷🇸 🇮🇪 🇳🇱 🇦🇿 🇮🇱 🇱🇻 but I love 🇲🇹 and 🇲🇩 too 🤷♀️. Ai Curaçao just isn’t my jam and I think Queen of Kings is basic, standard Eurovision fare you could put in any year of the past 2 decades and it would fit, but it’s undeniable how much other people love it. I had Switzerland as a non-qualifier before but I think because of his message and voice he’ll stand out over Netherlands and Latvia sadly.
Exactly that.. Deban is not a journalist, he is just a fan girl and I think he shouldn’t do these videos, because he is not predicting, he is just vlogging his favorites..
The two boys are back - thank god , William & Deban = good fun
Sooo good to see you guys back together now. We really enjoy your chemistry. ❤
Hahaha you guys are so funny together. I love the energy/chemistry you guys have.
William you cracked me up when Deban said 'Latvia' and you were like this a prediction not a wishlisht.
Hahahahahahahaha
You are hilarious and I like your dissagrements! It's a fun video and you were so firm about your choices that it felt like an actual voting live at Eurovision, with highs and lows and some unexpected results :)
Portugal! ❤
And I will vote for Latvia!
I missed your videos together so much ❤
Soo good to see you together again❤❤
Why is Deban still not understanding the difference between prediction and wish list? 😆
Every year he calls out William for not predicting his favourite songs as qualifyers. But just because you love a song, doesn’t mean you think others will as well. That’s just not the same. 😅
I really love Deban and William together in videos. I wished they would go back to reacting to all of the songs together. I miss their debates. Now they react separately and it’s just cut together. There is no discussion anymore and that’s really sad.
In 2019 he predicted Ireland to go through lol.
She never learns haha
My prediction:
Norway
Serbia
Latvia (don't underestimate us)
Portugal
Switzerland
Israel
Moldova
Sweden
Czech Republic
Finland
Portugal, I will help you as much as I can, I will vote again and again , you will pass! VAMOS PORTUGAL!💚❤
Thank you so much
Ty ❤ from Portugal
PORTUGAL, CZECHIA AND ISRAEL TOP 3🤍🤍🤍
TOP5: Norway and Sweeden
----
NQ Ireland (for sure)
Malta (maybe)
Azerbaijan (maybe)
I've bet on exactly one act this year, and it's Croatia top 10. I think it's going to surprise many.
I disagree with the "weak year" stance, I thought that at first but I really think it's become a strong year
Semi Finals 1 is anything but weak. Semi Finals 2 on the other hand...
I missed this iconic William x Deban BFF Bickering!!!! 😩💙
Love you guys laughing together!
I only want Latvia to qualify
As a Croat I love Latvia, It's mine kind of music, indie, atmospheric, great voice... And hope they'll qualify but not over Croatia. Croatia have that X factor. Crazinest, statement, fun...they bring Punk on stage and we need that. Wish both to qualify.
Great voice? WTF 😅
What ...punk ???😂😂😂 You mean pseudo indie rock
@@user-rp5yg1gr8s ?!?
switzerland is definitely a qualifier. If only for the reason that he is (of the men) one of the best live singers
One and only - Luke Black 👍❤️
This is the funniest predictions video you guys ever made. I cried and laugh so hard.
I loooooved the shade thrown at William by Deban about him avoiding Festival da Canção this year 🤣 it’s funny cause it’s true 🤷♂️
Nice video guys 💪 Can't wait to watch Eurovision ❤️
I want Croatia to go through so badly. They're so wild and fun!!
I love you guys so much! 3 minutes in i am already crying of laughter! "2 twins make 4 people" :D
I would like to see Switzerland & Latvia go through to final. ❤❤
The Swiss broadcast didn’t choose Watergun. There was no debate about, if Switzerland should send another male solo artist with a ballad without jury vote.
This song just resonated the most with the 2 panels (jury panel & public panel) and won due to the votes. :3
My vote goes to Serbia.
💀
❤❤️🦞🔥🇷🇸
Can we all vote latvia and croatia plese :) 2 songs thay deserves to qualify especially latvia
I feel sad that there are no juries that could save Malta and Latvia , or East countries to save Croatia and Serbia
That brilliant segway to promoting your book William after that NSFW joke was sooo funny!
Latvia is my number one this year, but at this moment I can't see them qualifying 😭😭😭
Serbia needs to qualify or we riot 💜🦞
Why it's so weird 💀💀💀
So happy to see your thoughts about Switzerland ❤
My qualifiers would be: Czech Republic, Finland, Israel, Latvia, Moldova, the Netherlands, Norway, Serbia, Sweden and Switzerland.
I really wish these countries will go through: Croatia, Czechia, Finland, Israel, Latvia, Malta, Moldova, Norway, Serbia, Sweden.
I‘ll vote for Latvia. I think out will be: Ireland, Azerbaijan, Malta, Switzerland and one out of Netherlands, Czechia (if they can‘t perform live) and sadly Latvia.
More of you two together please! 🤍
I agree more with Williams list.
Croatia and Molova are ones of the best this year. Way more interesting than generic pop like Sweeden.
Geweldig!!!😂 can't wait🎉🎉🎉🎉😮😮😮
My prediction for the first semi final:
In
Serbia 🇷🇸
Moldova 🇲🇩
Czechia 🇨🇿
Sweden 🇸🇪
Norway 🇳🇴
Finland 🇫🇮
Israel 🇮🇱
Out
Malta 🇲🇹
Ireland 🇮🇪
Azerbaijan 🇦🇿
Netherlands 🇳🇱
Hard to choose
Latvia 🇱🇻
Croatia 🇭🇷
Hopefully in
Portugal 🇵🇹
Switzerland 🇨🇭
I agree with these entire predictions. When it comes to Czechia, the live performance will make or brake their chances, despite the MV version being really good. The rest of the In I dont even need to debate, they will pass, even Norway which I dont really like will pass cause it has an audience that will vote for it. The out gang is quite forgettable yes. Croatia might get sympathy from the Eurovision audience, but not from the normie audience thats watching it for the first time. Even the Eurovision crowd needed the song to grow for them and even now its not on peoples top lists. I kinda fancy Portugal more than Switzerland if I had to choose.
Oh God, I really needed this video. I love all Wiwi content but when you are together... 😍 That Memphis, Nashville comment killed me 😂😂😂❤ I mostly agree with Deban but I'd change Switzerland for Moldova.
I want it to be 1) Israel 2) Sweden 3) Czech 4) Serbia 5) Finland 6) Norway 7) Portugal 8) Moldova 9) Malta 10) Netherlands
You must give Moldova a chance. The cosmic wedding has to go through. It's an extraterestrial pagan event.
It's high time for waking up of the World❗
Luke B 💖🦐🇷🇸
It's so annoying that Deban can't understand the difference between "what do YOU want" and "what do you think will happen".
William is not running for office and not trying to suck up to anyone - he just understands the difference between these two questions.
Serbia❤ love for you guys ))
Croatia and Latvia!
I think the absence of juries in semifinals is overall good for the same reasons you said but I also fear that songs that are tailored to catch the public's attention will now pass. Israel is one such example, that song is clearly made to embody the sort of pop music that Eurovision loves. Melody that gets stuck in your head, easy to sing along to and a random dance break.
Un-Knee-Corn!
Today I listened to an interview with Latvian guys from Sudden Lights and now I just found out that only the voice is heard live on the Eurovision stage. It's a shame for such a big event as Eurovision and it's definitely not good for the Latvian band. The band's guitarists laughed at having to perform as dancers. Latvia No.1 They are artists worthy of the world's biggest rock stages.
That has always been the case in Eurovision. They should not have participated if they didn't like that. It is impossible to get everything ready and plugged in in such a short time between the songs.
It's like this since 1999 when they canceled the orchestra
Which interview was it?
@@evar.7225 It was an interview on radio
I'm shocked you guys think this is a weak year, I have over half the songs in my playlist! I think this year is quite awesome.
Semi final 2 is the weaker side I reckon
Exactly, how is this a weak year?!
I would be very happy if Switzerland qualified.🇨🇭
If everyone loves Latvia so much then please show it with votes ❤️
Well, me living in UK from Latvia I CAN NOT VOTE UNFORTUNATELY 😢, semi final 2 is when UK can vote so idk 🤷♂️
@@flyamislv go for a trip to Ireland😂
@@Eva-S-L honey, last year I made it to Turin and I’m still financially recovering 😂
@@flyamislv Oh dear! :D
These 2 are too much, hilarious, loving it❤❤❤

3. Moldova 🇲🇩
4. Malta 🇲🇹
5. Sweden 🇸🇪
6. Norway 🇳🇴

That’s my 10 too but in a different order.
My ideal top 10. I think that 9 nations should be in the finals (🇫🇮🇸🇪🇳🇴🇮🇱🇲🇩🇭🇷🇷🇸🇵🇹🇨🇿 and I would really like either 🇲🇹 or 🇱🇻 as 10th instead of 🇨🇭or 🇳🇱)
You guys are so entertaining to watch! And interestingly, I agree with your predictions - the same 4 you disagreed on were the same 4 I feel could go either way in qualifying. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts for SF2 💖
One of the weakest years with minimum bops.

Moldova
Sweden
Finland
Portugal
Czech R.
Latvia
Switzerland
i just love you two so much!!!
