I don't see how Norway was even a question. Juries would have lapped it up. Good voice, great song, radio friendly and orchestral. I struggle to see juries not putting this top 3 in this semi. AND Norway has one of the strongest televoting records. I don't see a world where this isn't top 5 or 3 in this semi.
Agree! Norway would be top 5 in final... Belgium would have stayed in semis for sure! it shocks me how off Deban is with his choises this year, it is unbelievable.
Agree! Norway was one my favorites - so pure and innocent, beautiful vocals! ❤️
Agree!
Qualify yes, top 5 absolutely no. It would have been 8th, maybe, in the SF. Qualifying is a question. It's a cliché ballad, that's why
Norway is a top 13 sure but I don't think that she's a top 3 in the final. Maybe 6th or 7th ( but she's too adorable😍🇳🇴)
I really appreciate that William is able to view things from multiple perspectives and grounds his opinions in ESC history and not just his gut reactions. Thank you for reminding everyone that Fuego was NOT a favorite until the rehearsals. Neither was Conchita Wurst. Sometimes there is collective amnesia about how important the stage show is. I'm sure 2020 would have provided a surprise or two if the show had actually happened.
Ok, I am prepared to hear that Ukraine is a sure non-qualifier for Deban. Still sad we will never find out how many people loved this entry so much to grab their phone and vote
Ukraine would top the score with televoting. Like last year Norway, everyone doubt it and the won the televote.
I would have. It's in my top 3
.....but I live in Asia so... :'(
How did Deban disqualify Ukraine?! My favourite
I often agree with Deban, but saying Ukraine had no chance at all? Please give me what he's having, because girl, he's out of his damn mind. Everyone compares it to Poland 2019, but Ukraine 2020 is leagues ahead of Poland 2019. And they only barely missed out on the final by two points. Ukraine wouldn't have won, but damn sure they would've qualified. I hope they bring something similar next year just to show people like Deban that Europe will love them!
Is Deban OK? 🥺 He seems so negative this year.
Thank you! I felt the same thing. It's hart do watch at times.
One of his family member died recently(before this video ofc)..I feel bad for him everyone is like "he is so rude"😔💔
This semifinal is an easy one to predict: 🇸🇯🇷🇴🇱🇹🇷🇺🇸🇪🇮🇱🇦🇺🇦🇿🇺🇦🇲🇹
Potential surprise qualifier would be 🇮🇪 with a flawless staging/performance.
My prediction is that Lithuania, Sweden, Australia, Russia, Norway, Azerbaijan, Malta, Israel, Ukraine and Romania will qualify. I'd also love to see Belarus, Ireland and Cyprus qualify, but I don't think they will.
Completely agree. Thinking about Ukraine being out it is delusional.
This was a semi-final so bad in my opinion, not for the songs, but because qualified countries are already being preached... 🙂
My Prediction :
1. 🇱🇹 Lithuania
2. 🇸🇪 Sweden
3. 🇲🇹 Malta
4. 🇷🇺 Russia
5. 🇦🇿 Azerbaijan
6. 🇷🇴 Romania
7. 🇮🇱 Israel
8. 🇺🇦 Ukraine
9. 🇳🇴 Norway
10. 🇮🇪 Ireland/ 🇦🇺 Australia
Deban is more savage this year then he ever was 😂
My predictions:
1. Lithuania
2. Russia
3. Malta
4. Romania
5. Sweden
6. Azerbaijan
7. Norway
8. Ukraine
9. Israel
10. Australia
same!
This is also my 10 qualifiers
Wouldn't put Israel through personally but this is the most realistic prediction
Semi final 2 Latvia is the best
jossyeo even good fun
My prediction:
Azerbaijan, Malta, Lithuania, Norway, Russia, Sweden, Israel, Australia, Romania and Ukraine
What I want:
Azerbaijan, Malta, Lithuania, Norway, Sweden, Israel, Australia, Romania, Belgium and Ireland
If I had to guess, in a random order:
- Australia
- Lithuania
- Russia
- Sweden
- Azerbaijan
- Israel
- Malta
- Romania
- Norway
- Ukraine
If I were to choose my 10 favs, I'd swap Russia with Belgium. I really like Release Me, actually, and to be honest, I think Uno is one of the (if not THE) most overhyped songs this year.
For me from Brazil:
1. Russia
2. Azerbaijan
3. Lithuania
4. Romania
5. Malta
6. Israel
7. Norway
8. Sweden
9. Ukraine
10. Australia
Genilson Santos I think that’s spot on I’ve seen videos from people who’ve put those exact country’s through and I had all of those as well
Dear Deban, Ukraine is definitely not out. t would have qualified, or AT LEAST be borderline. It's not because you don't like it, that it wouldn't qualify.
And Ireland is also not definitely out, it's really borderline. I can't say it's out. Probably, not, but definitely not certain
My qualifiers:
-Lithuania
-Ukraine
-Ireland
-Romania
-Azerbaijan
-Malta
-Israel
-Belgium
-Norway
-Sweden
Borderlines: Cyprus, Croatia
My prediction
-Lithuania
-Ukraine
-Romania
-Azerbaijan
-Malta
-Israel
-Norway
-Sweden
-Australia (not because of the song it's not one of the 10 best, but because it's Australia)
-Russia (everyone loves this for a reason which I don't understand at all. Winner of the televote? please.probably yes but I would never get it)
Borderlines: Croatia, Ireland
Agree with almost everything, but I think Ireland would have been bottom 3 with juries (in all her perfomances she didn't manage to sing tbe chorus), so a sure NQ for me and maybe Australia would have failed (it needed many many points from the juries to qualify). I would replace Australia with Cyprus or Croatia
@@Escuniverse4168 Ireland would have been borderline, but I would not call it a sure NQ. Everyone can improve and so can she, and it definitely has its fans. She should have convinced the juries tho but I can't say no. And I choose Australia mainly because of its qualification streak, there are a few countries who (almost) always qualify, and Australia is one of them. But yeah, there is always a first time, so who knows. But I agree with what you say about Australia though
Norway? I don't even think it's a question. That's a qualifier.
I think this would’ve been one of the easiest semifinals where the 10 finalists would’ve been 99% certain.
I think Lithuania,Romania,Malta,Azerbaijan,Ukraine,Australia,Israel,Norway,Sweden and Russia would’ve been certain to make it through
I agreed with 8 out of your 9 certain qualifiers. I’d replace Croatia with Norway as a sure qualifier and between Croatia and Belgium I think Croatia would have made it through
i think belgium
1-Ukraine
2-Norway
3-Lithuania
4-Sweden
5-Romania
6-Israel
7-Azerbaijan
8-Malta
9-Australia
10-Russia
I can’t understand how you could even consider that Norway might not make it! Norway would have definitely been in the top ten this year - it gives me complete “Undo” vibes ❤️
My prediction: Lithuania, Sweden, Australia, Russia, Malta, Ukraine, Romania, Azerbaijan for sure, the other two would have probably gone to Norway and Israel, but my wish list has Ireland and Croatia instead.
OMG you guys, thanks for putting Croatia as a certain qualifier, greetings from Croatia ❤️❤️🇭🇷
🇭🇷❤️❤️💪💪
norway isn't even a question! deban I... just like... BELGIUM?!?! REALLY BELGIUM?!?! nope just no
I still beleive Ukraine can qualifiers,they have fan base and jury will not easy give up this song.
Lithuania
,Russia, Norway,Sweden,Azerbaijan ,Malta, Israel,Ukraine,Australia,Romania,this 10 country I mean I can't see any one will disqualifier,even not all the song is my taste but they have huge fanbase(televote) or jury will love them.
My predictions
1. Malta
2. Sweden
3. Israel
4. Azerbaijan
5. Norway
6. Ukraine
7. Russia
8. Australia
9. Lithuania
10. Romania
My qualifiers in random order :
🇮🇱 🇦🇿 🇺🇦 🇱🇹 🇷🇺 🇷🇴 🇲🇹 🇦🇺 🇸🇪 🇳🇴
Agree 100% I laughed when they said Croatia would qualify. Croatia has negative reception from you tubers and is low in the odds.
@@nooba220 Yes, like in 2017! We saw what happened...
Ukraine would have made it. I am confident that the qualifiers would have been:
1. Australia
2.Lithuania
3. Russia
4. Israel
5. Malta
6. Ukraine
7.Sweden
8. Romania
9. Norway
10. Azerbaijan
William: It's a borderline...

@@wellhi9700 EFENDI 💖
Got nothing else to adjust about the 10 countries you picked.
Ukraine and Norway would have made it to the final (100% sure).
However, Croatia and Belgium... hmmm... I'm not that sure 🤪
On the other hand, I really like Slovenia and Belarus, but it would have been almost impossible 😔
I think guaranteed qualifiers (in no order) were: Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Romania, Norway, Sweden, Malta ... it was a battle for the last 2 spots.
Gratitude to you two, and to the rest of the wiwistaff, for keeping on with these assessments; it helps give a sense that order persists under the chaos. Stay healthy and safe, and ThanksForPosting!
That Croatia love made me so happy. I love the song it’s my favourite of this year
My prediction:
Definite Qualifiers: Russia, Sweden, Lithuania, Malta, Norway, Azerbaijan
Probable Qualifiers: Australia, Romania
Borderline: Ukraine, Croatia, Israel, Cyprus, Belgium
Probable Non-Qualifiers: Ireland
Definite Non-Qualifiers: Slovenia, North Macedonia, Belarus
My personal qualifiers:
Cyprus, Croatia, Romania, Sweden, Malta, Norway, Australia, Belgium, Ireland
Who I want to Qualify:
Azerbaijan
Israel
Norway
Ukraine
Australia
Lithuania
Russia
Malta
Sweden
Romania
Who I predicted to have qualified:
Sweden
Lithuania
Norway
Russia
Azerbaijan
Malta
Israel
Ukraine
Australia
Slovenia
Deban and William are the best duo!
Norway would have qualified NO DOUBT
My predictions:
1: ukraine
2: sweden
3: russia
4: azerbaijan
5: malta
6: israel
7: romania
8: norway
9: ireland
10: lithuania
(love australia, belgium, croatia and cyprus too)
LMAOO Deban is so funny in this one. Love it
William: “Golden ‘pyro’ shower”
Immediately I’m wondering what kind of filth Norway are sending this year 😂😂
I have to say I completely agree with you guys this year on your qualifiers, although I’m sad to see some of my favourites go out. I think Croatia were DEFINITELY going to qualify as I’m going to reference Damir’s conversation from yesterday’s live chat when he gave a glimpse in to the dramatic staging that would have really added the visual drama to go with the vocal drama and completely elevated the song to another level.
I’d like to think Ukraine would have snuck through because it was so unique and the Original staging and costuming was beautiful which provided a spectacle to a rather stationary performance that was all about the vocals and the beat of the song.
I’m with William on Norway qualifying. It was a fan favourite and I could see the juries loving this too. With epic staging, this was walking it.
Qualifiers: 1. Russia 2. Ukraine 3. Sweden 4. Norway 5. Lithuania 6. Azerbaijan 7. Romania
Probely qualifying: . Australia Malta Israel
Borderline: Croatia, Belgium, North Macedonia
Not qualifying: Ireland, Slovenia, Belarus
My prediction:
Lithuania
Sweden
Australia
Norway
Azerbaijan
Malta
Israel
Romania
Belgium
Russia
Ukraine would have 100% made it to the final
certain: Russia, Sweden, Norway, Azerbaijan and Ukraine. Ukraine is deffo a no brainer with Russia ánd Belarus in the same semi. It's a banging song too! Then: Australia, Israel, Lithuania, Romania and Malta most likely, altho I would love to see Belgium making it.
100% - Lithuania, Russia, Sweden, Malta
90% - Azerbaijan, Norway
70% - Ukraine
60% - Romania, Australia
50% - Belgium, Israel
30% - Croatia
20% - Ireland, Slovenia
10% - Cyprus, North Macedonia
0% - Belarus
Why are y'all doing Ireland and Ukraine dirty? I-- You break my heart, guys :'(
OMG I'm literally done. Ukraine was a sure qualifier. FULL STOP. Tulia was just worse and its unfair to compare them. Juries would've respected it and so many fans placed it in their finals.
And Tulia didn't even end last in the semi, they ranked 11th, if I remember well.
Even though I also think Ukraine would qualify it also had chances to flop
yes finally Croatia is appreciated
Why wouldn’t Ukraine qualify it’s a massive fan favourite lots of people like it just because you don’t get it don’t write it off as a NO WAY just respect that your not Europe and you probably got that one wrong
Gurl this comment is wayyyyy too aggressive
@@felixp3348 sorry Ik. Deban I love you really
UKRAINE OUT??????? It would be in the top 3 of the Semi for sure. Such a stand out, instantly gripping and memorable, ethnic vibes mixed with a modern twist, PERFECTION. I don’t get why people sleep on it.
Sorry- for me it was the worst song of all of the entries
Yeah 2021 called and called bs on Solevey being Ukraine's first NQ.
Wait? I agree with William over Deban??? That’s new.
I love both Norway and Belgium
I am sure that Ukraine would have made it to the final, but maybe its just me because I like their song...
Guess we will never figure out
Locks (hot response from fans):
- Lithuania
- Sweden
- Russia
- Israel
- Ukraine
- Romania
Unsure (popular yet polarising)
- Azerbaijan
- Malta
- Belgium
Borderlines (even more polarising, not enough majority love)
- Australia
- Ireland
Deban has lost it! Norway is clearly a qualifier!
We're all entitled to our own opinions so nobody get mad at me please 😂. But I don't really like Belgium, Russia or Ireland at all. And Ukraine was probably my favourite this year. Go_A are genuinely amazing though 🤷♂️
I can't understand why they are saying that UA is clearly out when it is one of favs. I'd rater have UA over SE this year anyday
My Predictions (Random Order)
1. Lithuania 🇱🇹
2. Sweden 🇸🇪
3. Australia 🇦🇺
4. Russia 🇷🇺
5. Norway 🇳🇴
6. Azerbaijan 🇦🇿
7. Malta 🇲🇹
8. Israel 🇮🇱
9. Ukraine 🇺🇦
10. Romania 🇷🇴
Yep
Wow! I actually agreed with all your choices!
Glad you had Croatia as a certain qualifier. Like many on here, I think you have underestimated Norway. Traditional, slightly old fashioned songs can often attract a lot of surprise televote support. think Poland 2016. Belgium is weak for all reasons William points out. Norway would have been a comfortable qualifier and 7th to 10th in the Grand final.
Ukraine would have gotten though end of conversation
I would predict
Certain: Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Malta, Russia, Sweden, Lithuania, Norway, Romania and Israel
Between: Croatia, Cyprus, Australia and Belgium.
No: Slovenia, North Macedonia, Belarus and sadly Ireland.
No order
1 lithuania
2 sweden
3 russia
4 norway
5 azerbaijan
6 malta
7 Israel
8 Romania
9 Cyprus
10 Australia
I disagree
Sweden would not have made it to the final,
BUT! Ukraine would have been top 5 on the final
12 points from Israel to Ukraine
The Gia Gunn realness with the "Absolutelyyyy" just killed me xD
Arthur Glenet 🤣🤣🤣 I love that you clicked my inspiration
Arthur Glenet clocked
are you okay
Jury favs: Malta, Sweden, Norway
Televote favs: Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine
Dark horses/Surprise qualifiers: Belgium, Croatia
50/50 Chance: Australia, Cyprus, Ireland
Unlikely: North Macedonia, Belarus, Slovenia
Don't think they're forgetting to include Lithuania like they did last year
Really would have loved if Belarus made it through.
Thank you wiwibloggs for your effort and making this quarantine bearable. These videos are giving me life. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ljudevit love hearing this! We’re all I. This together! Stay strong!
Norway were winning eurovision this year, never mind not getting to the final, seriously guys
Haha never with that song ...
Ukraine a borderline?! are you kidding me? It would be in top 5
My same thoughts!!
definetly not ...
I agree with you but the only one I REALLY don't like is Uno. Love you two for beliving in Croatia so much, he is so good and I love the song!
I wouldn't give up on Ukraine and Ireland so fast. They are definitively divisive, but in Eurovision this is not necessarily a bad thing (Netta's Toy was very divisive).
My qualifierd in order:
🇮🇱 🇦🇿 🇲🇰 🇲🇹 🇺🇦 🇱🇹 🇷🇺 🇳🇴 🇧🇪 🇦🇺
Wish I could pick Romania and Croatia too but the semi was just too strong and also this was the first ever year since I started Eurovision that I loved Ukraine and seeing it be the song that would break Ukraine's qualification record would have hurt me.
We all know that THIS would happen:
1) Sweden (jury favourite)
2) Russia (televote favourite)
3) Lithuania
4) Romania
5) Malta
6) Norway
7) Azerbaijan
8) Israel
9) Australia
10)Ukraine

My predictions:
ukraine, lithuania, romania, sweden, malta, russia, azerbaijan, israel, norway, australia
My predicted qualifiers in random order:
Romania
Lithuania
Australia
Russia
Israel
Sweden
Norway
Azerbaijan
Ukraine
Malta
My predictions:
1 LITHUANIA 100%
2 RUSSIA 100%
3 NORWAY 100%
4 AZERBAIJAN 100%
5 ISRAEL 100%
6 UKRAINE 85% just a little doubt for being divisive
7 AUSTRALIA 85% little doubt for the live vocals
8 SWEDEN 60% the song is boring but i think the performers would be appreciated
9 CROATIA 55% i think the balkan charm would be rewarded
10 SLOVENIA 50% great performer, probably good staging, many balkans voting
11 BELGIUM 50% quality song, depends on the staging
12 MALTA 45% good but maybe not good enough
13 IRELAND 30% needs a great staging
14 ROMANIA 30% i think a terrible live presentation would kill the hype
15 NORTH MACEDONIA 5% only a miracle could save this
16 CYPRUS 5% same
17 BELARUS 0% nothing could ever save this
slovenia and ukraine over romania and malta?😂😂 joke of the year
Jurries always put Malta so high how is possible for Malta to don't qualify🤣they qualofy even last year when Michaela honest i liked her song,but the stage should be empty,thet was so messy and about Romania she wouldn't be terrible live doesn't matter what you sad at the National Final it was a messy organistion ny TVR like always and Alcohol You is a amazing song,also don't forget that second semi final is stronger,the only good song in this one is Romania,Azerbaijan,Norway and Lithuania c'mon even with The Humas we would qualify in this one
@@cosminapisoi I haven't seen this about Malta. On the contrary, I ll never forget how criminally robbed they were in 2015 when they did not even qualify with a top5 material entry. About the Romanian song now, I really like it and I actually liked all 5 songs of the Romanian selection but the presentation of all of them was extremely disappointing. Her english accent is quite bad and her live vocals are nowhere close to the perfection this so detailed velvet song requires. I think the presentation would be a massacre. I 'd love to be wrong though cause it's a nice song and its introspective character is a beautiful change for Romania.
My predictions in random order:
1. Lithuania
2. Russia
3. Malta
4. Romania
5. Sweden
6. Azerbaijan
7. Norway
8. Cyprus
9. Israel
10. Australia
100% Ukraine would have qualified
William, I hope that your low energy is from lack of sleep and because of the situation.. I send to u good energy.. :)
I notice you called the era of the orchestra the golden age... Do you think it should be brought back in 2021. Thoughts?
"What's the song again?
Running.
Sing it...
*silence"
LMAO
My Predictions: Australia, Lithuania, Russia, Sweden, Azerbaijan, Israel, Malta, Norway, Romania, Ukraine.
Actually I believe Croatia is a similar situation of qami with Armenia 2018 strong song but not enough to pass through .
NORWAY could have won the Jury votes in this semi no question.
My predictions in no particular order:
1. Lithuania
2. Romania
3. Azerbaijan
4. Israel
5. Ukraine
6. Australia
7. Norway
8. Sweden

Sorry I know Lithuania is popular and will qualify but I don’t like it 😬
And placed for the 1th Azerbaijan's song which is Definetely The Ugliest song Ever...
@@drTadux so wrong ... It is my winner too! :D
No please,cyprus in the final no 😂😂 (I'm kidding)
william's internet quality it's so good look how hd his image is
100% Agreed with William. XX
for me it is Russia, Malta, Sweden , Lithuania, Azerbaijan , Belgium , Romania ,Norway, Ukraine and Cyprus sorry really don't like Australia
That's alright. I live there and I don't like the scary clown song either, although, they may have cleaned it up for the final.
Totally agree with William that Norway is a Top 5 contender. Absolutely no doubt whatsoever that it would qualify.
Ukraine would have qualified surely, it's a dark horse.
Ukraine will go to the finals without any problems!
so sad to miss Azerbaijani staging this year.. I am soooo curios what was the plan for staging :) Heard it was something epic that hasn't been done at ESC so far...!
yeaahhh firee
Ukraine would have had my vote!
