    If if it was up to me to pick ten tonight:
    Sweden, Belgium, Finland, Azerbaijan, Portugal, Moldova, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Armenia, Latvia

    I think Poland will probably qualify ahead of Czech Republic though.

    I really like that the app keeps a record of my votes. Makes it easier for me to be annoyed when a song I hate gets through.

    That will easily get thru as it gave a lively end to what must have been the worst ever eurovision semi final.

    Its the stronger semi as well... IMO

    Disagree. I think there have been much worse in previous years.

    Some didn't like this, but I thought it was a deserved winner.

    i swear every year they just ''take inspiration'' from whatever is popular in the charts at the time.

    I know it was a controversial winner, and it wasn't my favourite, but I'm kinda glad "1944" won last year. As fun as Eurovision is, it's good that a serious, heavy song can also win. There's only so much Eurotrash one can take.

    Could still do it, some shortening on Pol and Monte.
    Wouldn't be surprised to see Belg miss the cut, poor performance.
