So they are agree for Poland but only one for Austria???
Lol I didn't even watch the video yet but I knew which one didn't choose Austria 😂
It was a shock for me, really😮
The answer is Deban
i know poland has a good diaspora vote to count on but it being safer than austria is an insane take 😭
@@escserg6731 oooh, he's gonna be wrong again. They aren't gonna win like Maneskin, but that song is GOOD! (Pre-pubescent? No way!)
The fact that Deban does not think that Austria will go through even though they are a 48% favorite in the betting odds to win the semi final just left me speechless.
austrias a contender to win what is he on 💀
Well,Deban also pointed out once that Måneskin would get the worst result for Italy.Austria will be fine,they will qualify for sure,I'm not sure how they will do in the final though but I wouldn't be worried about their qualification.
Don't listen to Debans predictions, he is way off every year. Gurl thought Uku would go to the final for god sake
@@esctoplist1162 and 2020 they thought norway wouldn’t make it
He has a wet blanket attitude sometimes
I love Deban but Austria not qualifying? In this weak semi final? Sorry, totally disagree
I'm more upset about Poland or Albania qualifying over Austria. Like.... WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!
Austria is winning this semifinal. Deban, you’ve been watching Eurovision for years and years! I’m surprised that you think that way
I'm going to be honest, the magic of the song is in its subtext and the excitement and joy of the video. Of course it's going to qualify but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't do that well in the Final.... this entry has everything to do with the staging.
It is said it's sure qualifier, watch carefully
I mean, he doesn't even hide that he just picks his favorites while the video is all about the damn prediction
I say this every year but Deban and Willian’s videos together are the best! It’s part of my annual Eurovision experience!
Austria and Slovenia walking hand in hand into the final, as good neighbours as they are.
I absolutely adore watching you both together! You could just be talking about newspapers and it will still be hilarious!
Same, I‘m just vibing here
The eye rolles, the laughing and screaming, saying each other full names, shameless promotion. Always looking forward to this video
The amount of SHADE in this video LMAOOO (also I died at William almost calling Albania "Family Chlamydia" 😂😂)
as a Lithuanian, I'm definitely not gonna vote for Poland, I'm voting for Slovenia 🤘
And thank you for that form Poland!
as you should!
Clearly low budget for voting
Poland in - Austria out ... hmmm even you dont like the Austrian entry... the live quality, lyrics, personalities of those singer-songwriters and response... will guarantee that they will both qualify....
Luka.Top1❤
As a Danish Eurovision aficionado I just want to say that your observation about Denmark voting for Greece simply because of a Danish father is spot on. My friends and I always make fun of the Danish commentator when he tries to find more and more outlandish connections to Denmark to make us interested... "So this year's artist from Bulgaria once went to the same gym as someone who had a layover in Copenhagen on a flight to London." 😅😅😅
Please invite Jann to Wiwi Jam! I would love so much to see him being interviewed in English and he deserves all the attention. Unfortunately, I understand just tiny bits of Polish interviews with him due to knowing another Eastern European language, so I am just getting more and more curious about what he has to tell :)
Video started as a prediction and quickly became just Willian and Deban saying random stuff and having fun for 30 minutes
Deban never even tried to make a prediction, he just picked his favorites🤣
The way Deban is constitutionally incapable of grasping the concept of a prediction as opposed to a personal preference 😂😂😂
Now we're getting the stagings this might be slightly easier to predict.
Austria, Armenia, Australia, Georgia, Lithuania, and Slovenia are definitely going through.
Then the other 4 I'd put through Cyprus, Albania, Estonia, and Iceland.
(Also I've said it before and will say it again: we might've accidentally meme-d solo into the final)
Just because something is getting attention because people are making fun of it doesn't mean that attention is going to help it. People may watch it just so that they can see if flop.
That's where the bad Britney impersonation from Poland is headed, if you ask me.
William... you have lot of patience. I would go insane if I had to film a prediction video with Deban.
Lithuania never votes for Poland because we have borders. It only happens when the song is good which is not the case this year. However we usually generously support Latvia, Ukraine and Georgia regardless of the song quality. Get your facts right 😁
I mean, we support each other against Russia *hard* nowadays, but some Western commenters have no idea that the Commonwealth era is still controversial in Lithuania and your image of Poles is not 100% great, best friends forever, just fantastic.
Btw, lots of love from Poland, I like Monika's song very much!
Lithuania was Polish, but anyway, we dont need your votes.
@@aniapietruszczak9684 the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania formed the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth which was ruled by a common monarch. We never never polish, same as English are not Scottish.
@@justynafigas-skrzypulec3349 I did not mean to offend. I very much agree that this contest should be a musical competition and not of a political nature. I wrote this comment based on the observations of how rarely we vote for each other’s countries. The reason Lithuania might have warmer relationship with countries like Latvia and Georgia is likely due to the support we gave each other breaking away from USSR which luckily your country was not part of. On a lighter note, Blanka was a pleasant surprise on today’s rehearseals. The girl improved a lot since your National Final performance in her stage presence and also vocals. She might be a dark horse and go far. 🔥
@@ryzel1984 ok, but western territories of Lithuania were Polish, it was Poland, right? Im a Pole btw. Ok, so you consider Poles enemies or what? You are a little like Russians or what?
This video killed me so many times I had to watch it in 5 chunks 😂 Peak classic Wiwibloggs William/Deban chaos
Armenia’s song is very touchy , heart warming, emotional, she has amazing voice , with amazing song !! Breathtaking!!! Masterpiece!!
My personal definitive qualifiers would be: Armenia, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Georgia, Lithuania and Slovenia. So, one spot's left. ;-)
Probably albania
@@sweet_melody22 Works fo me. 🙂
he did NOT just compare Blanka to Poli Genova 💀
i haven’t seen a single youtube video that even mentions Poland that doesn’t have comments along the lines of “I AM POLISH AND THIS IS NOT OUR CHOICE DO NOT VOTE FOR US” so i don’t think we can necessarily rely on diaspora to push Bejba through lmao
Tak, bo Polakom nigdy się nie podoba wybór na eurowizję....
Semi final 1 may be the more stacked semi but i swear semi 2 is harder to predict. Its full of averrage songs which could all be borderline making it really wild to predict.
Predictions : ALBANIA 🇦🇱 LITHUANIA 🇱🇹 AUSTRIA 🇦🇹 ARMENIA 🇦🇲 GEORGIA 🇬🇪 ESTONIA 🇪🇪 AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 SLOVENIA 🇸🇮 CYPRUS 🇨🇾 BELGIUM 🇧🇪
I'm glad they have warmed up a little to Australia, but I am blown away that Austria isn't one of their "locks". I also think Cyprus will qualify.
absolutely
I love this chaotic duo🤣🤩
is Deban really 62?
My predictions in no particular order:
🇦🇹 🇦🇺 🇸🇮 🇦🇲 🇬🇪 🇱🇹 🇪🇪 🇧🇪 🇮🇸 🇨🇾
Okay, and these are my predictions:
1. Armenia
2. Iceland
3. Georgia
4. Austria
5. Lithuania
6. Australia
7. Estonia
8. Belgium
9. Cyprus
10. Slovenia
I only put Armenia, Cyprus, Slovenia, Georgia, Austria and Lithuania as my "surely qualify"
The 4 spots left are an open field between the rest of them
Austria and Lithuania the best!
I loved this video so much. The chaos of it all had me in hysterics 😂
This is so entertaining. I already knew that William and Deban would mostly disagree in this very open semifinal. 😂
I think Deban is way off with Austria, but I love their different options. It’s way more interesting than having 2 people, who just agree on everything.
exactly, I agree
Yesss, please invite Jann! I know we, Polish people, are DEADLY serious about Eurovision but because of it we love him so much!
BTW: Deban is 62?????????? What?????????
Poland going through? I have to watch that twice? Oh my gosh I hope you're wrong. Sorry.
They are. Again.
@@tomislavm8789 I loved Poland last year.
@@aekelly
Last year they have sent a real singer with a very good song. I liked it also a lot.
I was refering to the 'wrong' part, not the polish song from last year.
They weren't.. and 3rd place even..
OMG when Deban laughs is amazing! We need a series of videos of Deban and William talking!
To see Deban makes me so happy this year, I also need Suzanne.
It can be hard to find 10 songs I'd want to go through here, so I do feel for you ;D Though after some thought, I'd say, in order of probability, Austria, Australia, Armenia, Georgia, Albania, Slovenia, Estonia, Cyprus, Belgium and Poland (hesitantly though).
This video appears to be chaotic, but it is richly layered with meaningful subtext. For example, when William appears to be possessed by the ghost of Tennessee Williams at the 23 minute mark. he is in fact predicting the success of Austria. (Scholars will note that Poe and Williams were both masters of American Gothic).
I was surprised by William‘s age when I found out some time ago.
But if Deban is really 62 years old I would be shocked! Plus I wanna know his secret 🤫😅
No way is Deban 62
Koja li je tajna zdrave kose Deban Aderemi?
How old is William then?
@@jimskeuh 42
TOP10 of SF2:
1. Armenia
2. Slovenia
3. Cyprus
4. Austria
5. Lithuania
6. Georgia
7. Albania
8. Australia
9. Estonia
10. Belgium
Austria is my top2 😂😂😂
Diaspora won’t help a lot in case of Poland, she would have much more if only she was chosen internally, for me her qualification depends on her performance.
Diaspora doesn't need to help, Blanka will qualify because this track is televoting friendly and many people abroad love this.
You can't know what will do diaspora, we are diaspora, and we will vote for Blanka
@@yearlyesctops2633thank you ❤ I hope so
@@yearlyesctops2633 she cant even sing. you dont care? Polands national final was rigged and EVERYONE with a brain can see it. they choose a girl who cant sing haha
@@johanek4144 Only Eurovision fans know that Polish national final was rigged and they are not very numerous. Usual viewers in Europe won't give a f**k about this
Finally someone pointed out the lyrics to Echo: I can't really pick them up when I hear the song. Now I do know what she's singing about 'cause she's told different medium outlets what she's singing about.
Cyprus: Let's not forget Andrew is from Australia and was in Australia decides last year.
rarely seen such a chaotic prediction!
So much tea has been spilled I can't move in my room anymore.
HOW IS DEBAN 62 YEARS OLD?!?!
He looks like he's around 35 or something
Wiwi please invite JANN to WIWI JAM !!! So good idea!!! Great vocal, great personality!!! Give him attention what he deserves!!!love the idea❤❤❤
Croatia must qualify ❤❤❤
Please, invite Jann to the wiwijam!!!!
If Poland is going through, I'm going ti lose my faith in humanity😂
where are you from?
Same here and I am from Poland.
Diaspora really skews the results and unfortunately weighs more than quality or personal taste when it comes to borderline qualifications. But even we know that Austria doesn't benefit from that at all, I can't imagine them not qualifying this year.
I am LIVING for the energy in this video 📏
I wish Greece Estonia and Denmark will qualify
I am convinced that Echo was written in Georgian and then they popped it through Google Translate to English and the current lyrics are what came out
I love Echo and Iru's voice is amazing but Georgian language would've elevated the song so much. I will never understand why they decided to have it in English. In Georgian, it would've been so much more original, interesting and even mysterious, now you just can't help thinking: wtf are these lyrics, they pretty much make no sense...
I love Deban but I wish he wouldn't do his predictions with his personal rankings💀💀like I get why someone might not enjoy Austria but it's a really obvious qualifier and he just didn't give any actual reasons for why its not gonna qualify.
i don't come here for the ranking, i come here to see you two fight over who qualifies 😌
Cyprus 🇨🇾🇨🇾🇨🇾 is going through whether you like it or not....easily.
Yes sure
Greece has bigger chances
@@hallaskjerah nope
@@hallaskjerahseeing the staging, I don't think so
9:10 in Eurovision in order to receive votes you have to be memorable also when the song is finished not only when the song is on
Oh I just know how chaotic video this will be!😂
Love the in person format for these videos!!
My top 10:
1. Armenia 🇦🇲
2. Iceland 🇮🇸
3. Estonia 🇪🇪
4. Albania 🇦🇱
5. Georgia 🇬🇪
6. Denmark 🇩🇰
7. Austria 🇦🇹
8. Lithuania 🇱🇹
9. Cyprus 🇨🇾
10. Belgium 🇧🇪
This semifinal is a bit odd tho 😅
Cyprus just 9? I m very sorry for your very bad music taste! You should feel shame!!
Actually Austria will probably win this semi and you agreed to put Poland to Final XD
Denmark is way more memorable and easier to sing along with compared to so many of your locks…
Thank you guys for such a nice announcement from our Joker Out representatives.
I still REFUSE to believe both William's and Deban's ages. William in my eyes is 29 and Deban is ~45 PERIOD!
how old is william?
@@jimskeuh 40
Poland’s song isn’t called Solo - It’s bejba
It's not a song. It's rhythm maschine with karaoke singer.
@@tomislavm8789 …a karaoke singer doing _a really _*_bad_*_ Britney imitation!_
i'm sorry but deban putting austria as an NQ in THAT semi final??? literal delusion idk what to tell him
William actually understanding the politics of Eurovision
Jann in WIWI JAM ❤❤❤
Totally agree with Deban on Albania.
Deban is so right for Greece. I’m not a fan of Switzerland either but Compared its very rememberable
Wait that’s a joke right.. Deban 62 years old? No way..
I was actually thinking about Deban's age for some reason just the other day 😂... If I remember correctly, couple of years ago he said in a video something like: I may be in my late 50s... Anyway, it seems to me that both William and Deban look decades younger than their actual age is 😊.
@@silencestation557 Indeed! They both look fab!
it would explain his taste
@@silencestation557 how old is william then?
@@jimskeuh he's 40
You two 😭😭 forever the best, most reasonable wiwi members, wiwi juries . Love you guuuys
I wonder how much of a financial difference it would make to delegations and broadcasters budgets if they got rid of the halves in semi-final allocation draws, but kept them for the final?
Romania so good ,,,,,will give u a big staging surprise ,,,,can walt to see it,,,,,,,hope u wil put it,,,,
It might be the "weaker" semi final, but it's also the thougher one because it is so open who will qualify.
Also, I'm a dane and I'll vote for Greece if he does well in the semi. Not because of the Danish connection, but because it's truly one of my favorite songs this year.
So deban say poland will qualify but Austria wont
prediction: 🇦🇹🇦🇲🇬🇪🇦🇺🇩🇰🇱🇹🇦🇱🇨🇾🇬🇷🇸🇮
I cannot find any reason to put brrrrrreeeeeeeeedges (🇪🇪) through - it’s a ballad going on early, there’s no juries, and they don’t have finland.
I am in LOVE with Iceland 🇮🇸 but I have finally accepted that if I’m the only one who thinks it can go through then that’s probably a bad sign
You know that they rigged their selection when you have a really bad song and wiwibloggs keep supporting you all the way and think that the song is definitely going through the final.
intersting picks 💀💀💀 i was sure my favourites would go through in such a weak semi final but after hearing this I am concerned people be crazy even you two lmao
i think its fair to say whoever qualifies last in this semi comes last in the final
This is so chaotic and I loved every second of it 😂😂😂
NO WAY DEBAN IS 62!! WHAAATTT! I thought he was like 30
i'm not sure if this was a joke, but he can't be 62. how old is william?
@@jimskeuh william is 40
@@acgtalks6090 ah someone said 41
Poland has had a revamp which now includes a dance break in the karaoke version. I'm interested to see the rehearsals...😬
Lol she doesn't even sound good while standing and now we are getting a dance break? I mean...our expectations are low but holy bejba 🤣🤯
@@ann.juliee you had expectations for that karaoke singer? Lol. 🙂
I'm with Deban, I don't get the hype around Austria at all
Is it even allowed to say? 😂 This song is also not for me. 😊
I just love these 2 together!! 😂
Deban is such a minx winding William up hahaha!! 😂
All I know our girl is going through 🤣
She is definitely going through , love Brunette 😻
Love it when you two keep it real
in the 1st semi there are only 7 good songs (Sweden, finland ,Norway, serbia , latvia , switzerland and Portugal) and in the 2nd semi there are also 4 sure qualifiers (Austria, Armenia , Australia and Slovenia) and 12 songs are almost equally good
Completely not agree, because Australia always gone to final on jury votes, what will be with Slovenia thats secret
Slovenia best
❤❤ sLOVEnia ❤❤
I think Romania could pull off a shock. Remember last year they said Moldova is surely out and they ended up being 2nd favourites.
Also, Eurovision reactors should seriously start doing their research when a song isn't in English and not just throw it under the bus cause they don't understand it.
I think the Romanian song is to boring to pull sth off like Moldova.
Moldova was fun. Romania is boring.
AMEN! Reviewers really do throw ESC entries under the bus when it's in a language they don't understand.
Did you see San Marino videoclip 😂? If they will continue to treat their song unserious they can finish as Iceland 21’
Love u guys. So much fun 🤗😁😘
That was such a random prediction, lol :D
ESC should do “second chance” night where jurors pick 4 songs from NQ countries from each semifinals who should go through.
they did something like that in 2008 and 2009, didnt really go over well.
@@escminnesota5543 yes, but here they would pick from the NQ countries. In this case 11 countries from both semies.
I hope you two never end up on an NF jury again
So recaping their picks: 3 of Williams' picks did place - Cyprus, Austria and Estonia while 2 of Deban's picks placed Belgium and Albania, and then 5 - Armenia, Slovenia, Lithuania, Poland, and Australia
I am quite literally giving all my 20 votes to Estonia... I can't believe people find the song boring, it is such a powerful ballad.
Thank you so much from Estonia! ❤
Love the video, best video from y'all this season, "and you eat meat" LMAOOOOOOO I DIED
Austria and Albania are IN 👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥
only 3 songs you agree on as qualifiers and neither are Austria or Australia?? worst predictions ever lol.
EDIT 2: POLAND?!
EDIT 3: oh okay it was just Deban making bad choices all along, it is 2023 and he still can't separate personal preference for a song from a contest prediction lol.
That was fun to watch.
