Eurovision is coming closer and now that we finally have a running order it's time to review all the entries of this years ESC and their chances in the contest! Countries will be reviewed in running order!

Finland will open this years contest! Even though there were much better options in this years national selection in Finland, I really like, that Finland will open the show! It's an up-tempo song and it's pure Eurovision :) Every viewer will know, that Eurovision is finally here.
The odds are not that good for Finland and start position 01 won't help that much, I guess.

Chance Of Qualification -> 30 %
Place In The Final -> 20-26 (in case of qualifying)



I think Greece always made it to the final. Even though Cyprus is in this semi-final it'll be very hard for Greece this year to qualify! They have the dead-slot No. 2 and the song is not that strong to really stand out in a very good way :/ It's Greece and sure we have seen even worse song to qualify, but the Semi 1 is very strong so Greece might fail this year.

Chance Of Qualification -> 20 %
Place In The Final -> 20-26 (in case of qualifying)



Moldova gives us a pure schlager-song this year. I really like songs like that, but it's a nice schlager not a very strong/outstanding schlager song. Might be not enough to make it this year. But maybe the schlager community will vote their asses off... We'll see. Definetly not the easiest decision :/

Chance Of Qualification -> 25 %
Place In The Final -> 23-26 (in case of qualifying)



Now we're talking! The first song in Semi 1, that is really a strong contender! Hungary sends us this year maybe their best entry in the ESC-History! Good song, great vocals, amazing beat! This could really do well! Really looking forward to the performance!

Chance Of Qualification -> 100 %
Place In The Final -> Top 10 (in case of qualifying)



They're back and with an amazing song! If the staging and the vocals are amazing as the music video, this could go veeeeeery far! Happy that they are back in the contest, as they send usually great songs. They really deserve to be in the final and they will make it for sure!

Chance Of Qualification -> 100 %
Place In The Final -> Top 10 (in case of qualifying)



Ok, to be honest... first I really not got the song and everything. I had to listen to the song more times till I really began to like it. The odds look good and it seems that people really connect with the song and Douwe! Really would like to see him in the final. Still not very sure, if it's going to be that easy^^

Chance Of Qualification -> 65 %
Place In The Final -> Top 17 (in case of qualifying)



It's basically the same as with the Netherlands. The difference is, that Armenia really stands out! It's totally different and very interesting. After I listened to it I wasn't sure, if I like it or not, but I wanted to listen to it again and again! This could be good for the televoting and if the performance is like the video with great effects I think this could do very well!

Chance Of Qualification -> 80 %
Place In The Final -> Top 13 (in case of qualifying)



Okaaaaaaaay... what can I say about San Marino this year? The entry is funny. Expecially in the disco version. But I really don't think, that San Marino has any chance to qualify with this. Not in this strong Semi-Final between Armenia and Russia! Maybe next year :)

Chance Of Qualification -> 00 %
Place In The Final -> 25-26 (in case of qualifying)



I was hoping for years, that Sergey would represent Russia and this year it's finally time to slay <3 Really looking forward to the performance and everything! If Russia deserves to win it's this year! This is the entry I look forward to the most! Sergey is such a sweetheart and I really would love, if Russia would do well this year <3
