  ive sort of put my predictions on my blogs for day 2 and day 4. In each case i have 4 certain to qualify - usually because of political voting not the song to be honest. I then have a group of songs that are very likely then the borderline performances
  
  I will wait unitl they get their second rehersal in and when you hear what they are like with all the problems ironed out then you can make a real guess
  
  At this stage in semi 2. Bosnia, Austria, Ukraine and Denmark should make the final the next batch includes Ireland - for the first time Im seeing jedward in the final

  Aoife, did you see their post performance interview, it was so funny and they sang really well
  
  I will definately be eating my words lol
  
  I think some counteries are now paying the price for high quality backing tracks - it just doesnt work live (eg sweden, Iseral, \slovika to mention but 3)

  The one from eurovision.tv like? :)
  Haha ^_^
  
  Definitely, I think some of the over the top performances are just getting a bit messy now :/ I thought Dana was awful, and then she cancelled her press conference - not looking great for Israel atm!
  
  It's really going to be an amazing show, I was a bit anxious back in March, I thought the songs weren't great but it's so hard to say now who might win, totally open competition! Love it :)
  
  Any predictions for the 10 going through from each semi?

  Estonia were a bit shakey and dear good poor dana international
  
  Slovenia came across well

  Weren't they!?? Everyone was surprised I think =:D
  
  I'm so proud of them, people had low expectations and they totally proved them wrong - yeah they have a bit of work to do on the choreography but overall it looks to be an awesome performance! Even Emma said their graphics were the best she's seen in the whole competition so far! :) And they made quite an impression in the Press Confrence, did you see it? They had the whole room laughing!!
  Very promising times ahead I think!
  
  Yeah I think Estonia's performance will be great on the night, it's different and memorable! It was a great day altogether!
  Very enjoyable 4days, so excited for the coming days to see how the big5 do!
