After reviewing the first half of the first semi-final, we are going to review the second half of this semi-final and lets get back to the list, before we proceed:
In this article, I would be reviewing the second half of the first semi-final which would cover the remaining countries in this competitive semi-final.
10.Azerbaijan-Samra-Miracle
Much better than 2015 song in my opinion. It
is catchy and memorable. In my case, this song is still stuck inside my head.
Azerbaijan is a cherished country, Samra has a great voice – i don’t know if
her voice is stunning live – and the song is good. I hope she brings a good
stage, even though she already has a high chance of qualifying.
11.Cyprus-Minus One-Alter Ego
This country has really improved! Minus One
brought us a rock song that is not messy and is loved by almost everyone. Their
lyrics are awesome, their rhythm is so catchy and Alter Ego just follows on and
on. You would enjoy those 3 minutes. Cyprus always manages to qualify, it would be a
sin if this doesn’t qualify. For me: a clear qualifier.
12.Malta-Ira Losco-Walking On Water
We must have got used to Malta’s revamps. From a
chameleon now we have Ira walking in water, but both are great songs. Walk on
water is a great song, its rhythm is unique and catchy. Those background sounds
make a good atmosphere on it, and of course, Ira Losco’s voice is amazing. Even
though, last year Malta was a clear favorite and it stocked in the semifinal.
Hope this doesn’t happen with Ira.
13.Bosnia & Herzegovina-Dalal & Deen ft. Ana Rucner & Jala
This country is back with a
stunning song (in my opinion). Those 4 voices and the background instruments
are awesome. A lot of people despises the rap part, but it just lasts for a few
seconds. Bosnian is a beautiful language. If their voices live and staging are
stunning, I’m pretty sure that it would qualify.
14.Estonia-Jüri Pootsman-Play
Jüri is handsome, and that’s a clear advantage. Ok, let me start. It is deep, calm and quiet song, but it has a classy essence. I was not kidding about Jüri’s advantage, it helps him a lot, also his voice live is great. It is an enjoyable song but no more. In my opinion, it needs to bring an incredible staging to let it play in the grand final.
15.Czech Republic-Gabriela Gunčíková-I Stand
For me, this is one of the most underrated countries. This
song is really good and I’m sure that Gabriela has a stunning voice live. But,
to be honest, I don’t know if this country will qualify, not because of the
song but because of the country it belongs to. Always underrated. Gabriela
needs to make an awesome staging and job for qualifying, if God wants to.
16.Montenegro-Highway-The Real Thing
It is a good rock song but it is a little bit messy at the same time. Rock songs are generally underrated in ESC and this
song hasn’t be placed well in the majority of tops. And also, it has a lot of
good “rivals”. So, to be honest, Montenegro will not qualify.
17.Iceland-Greta Salome- Hear Them Calling
18.Austria-Zoe-Loin D'ici
It is a lovely and cute – French – song. Zoe
doesn’t have the best voice live but the song has been growing gradually in people. Austria
has been qualifying frequently but probably this will be the exception. Unless is
completely grown for people for receiving enough votes.
As we had completed the list for the first semi-final, here are the potential qualifiers of this semi-final in my point of view:
- Armenia
- Russia
- Hungary
- Azerbaijan
- Cyprus
- Finland
- Greece
- Bosnia and Herzegovina
- Estonia
- Malta
Well,that is my prediction and opinion for the first semi-final of the contest and I hoped that your favourite could also qualify to the grand final.
