I'm disappointed in Portugal's budget, Mimicat will carry Portugal through.
Mimicat works soooo hard and is one of the best artists 2023. Good luck Portugal, love from South Africa 🇿🇦
Who I want to qualify:
Norway, Malta, Serbia, Latvia, Portugal, Moldova, Sweden, Czechia, Netherlands and Finland.
My final prediction:
Norway, Serbia, Portugal, Croatia, Israel, Moldova, Sweden, Czechia, Netherlands and Finland.
This semi final ended up being harder to predict than I initially thought. But in the end, I’ve mostly stuck with my pre-rehearsal prediction.
I don’t see a clear path for Azerbaijan, Ireland, Latvia or Malta anymore for various reasons. Malta could maybe surprise but I’ve always thought it was way too early in the show, despite the staging looking quite strong. It needed to open the show instead of Norway.
So for me, it came down to Netherlands vs Switzerland for the 10th slot. I went with Netherlands as I feel it’s a stronger song and they have the unique appeal of being a duet, which often works well at Eurovision. But it was a close call, I just had slightly more faith in Netherlands.
Croatia is still the most unpredictable entry of this semi final though, and I still see a world in which it’s just way too much for the locals on first listen. But it’s also what people come to Eurovision for, and so I expect the public to respond.
Malta 5, Serbia NQ !? It will be quite opposite…
You must take many factors, the biggest is which countries participate in voting process. It’s not about fandom at all, don’t overestimate it
My thoughts exactly lol
My predictions:
Norway, Serbia, Portugal, Croatia, Israel, Moldova, Sweden, Czechia, Finland and for the last spot I'm between Malta, Latvia and Switzerland. I everytime put someone else. I'm quite confident about those 9 countries but for the last spot anyone of this 3 can qualify. I think this time I'll go for Switzerland
i stay with my list from last week; my qualifiers for semi 1 are:Finland, Sweden, Norway, Portugal,
Switzerland, The Netherlands, Ireland, Latvia, Malta, and Israel.
But good luck to all!
Can't wait! I hope for some surprises this evening, like the Netherlands qualifying... But if they don't I hope we'll see BELGIUM qualifying this thursday. Thanks to ESCUnited, the most reliable Eurovision fanclub this moment!
I'm actually more sure of Serbia making it over Portugal and Malta, the performance was the one that really stood out to me from the rehearsals. I've actually put it in 5th I think.
I think Malta deserves to qualify but I'm just unsure of its chances. I feel like the result could be similar to Latvia last year, and with Malta not having televote support usually it doesn't help the case. I think it may be the country that just misses out.
yeah, malta never gets televote support, i don't see that changing all of a sudden. the song is not good enough for that imo. i think the odds are all pretty spot on on who will qualify the only one dropping out
@@jimskeuh Yeah I'm in agreement fully with the odds as well. Not in the same order but I think it seems the most likely. The thing with the odds is that it always predicts the televote qualifiers pretty accurately most years so I'm not expecting any massive shocks in this semi.
@@jimskeuh It is good enough lmao
I really hope Serbia will qualify and Switzerland doesn't...
@@martakeska5297 they both should, to be fair. Switzerland deserves a spot
Would love for Malta to qualify after bringing something different from their usual
Serbia not qualifying?? They will definitely qualify
If i lose serbia and latvia i might die
Literally my no. 1 and 2!
the crowd went wild for serbia last night at the dress rehearsal. it was a sort of ukraine 2021 moment, just a very cool attractive song. and considering how well serbia did in 2022 with a similar, but in my opinion way less pleasing act, i think you're all hallucinating (sorry, don't mean to be rude) not putting it into your lists. it's all televote this time by the way. so i'd rather bet top 3 than NQ for serbia
Thank you very much for the Czech Republic. I'm glad you like Vesna's performance. The girls are amazing and deserve a Grand Final.
Yeeeaaahhhhh I was afraid i wouldn't like their pink outfits but it's one of my favourite colours😂 I don't get why I was disappointed at first.
Yeah! They’re my personal favourites this year based on the songs.
No Latvia? No Serbia? Que???
Not putting Serbia through is just pure madness. I took you for a serious blog/channel. Might have to reconsider that. 🤷♂️
Predictions are to be impartial and this one screams "EMOTION".
They’re defo a credible channel with personal taste and opinions and this is a prediction not what is going to happen… Are you deff, didn’t you hear Matt saying Serbia is one of his favourite entries??? Just calm down because everyone’s anxious right now including ESCunit team 👍🏼
@Celso Alves I think us two might have a different definition of a prediction. You are predicting what is going to happen. No personal taste should play a role in that. 🤷♂️
I'm calm, and sure of Luke qualifying. My comment was about how this prediction is way off.
@@unsolicitedopinions1372 mate I know what a prediction is and Matt stated the reasoning of their final result but if you have in account they’re 6 people therefore all factors count for each of them so, different taste, different opinions different reasoning….
@@celsoalves7681 Dude, let's agree to disagree and enjoy the show right now 🥳🥳🥳
@@celsoalves7681 What about now? 👀
The qualifiers will be:
Croatia 🇭🇷
Czech Republic 🇨🇿
Finland 🇫🇮
Israel 🇮🇱
Latvia 🇱🇻
Moldova 🇲🇩
Norway 🇳🇴
Portugal 🇵🇹
Serbia 🇷🇸
Sweden 🇸🇪
I would LOVE that!
@@kamilak.1248 I'm really hoping for this! 💖
Latvia and Portugal out, Netherlands and Switzerland in.
I think Serbia will qualify and Maltaxand Croatia will not.
Thank you Matt, that's also my prediction list but I swap Croatia for Serbia. I think Serbia will make it and Croatia will be 11th/12th with Latvia. ❤to the team!
Serbia instead of Portugal and we're good to go.
Agree 100%. Even though they say Portugal was impressive in the arena they are only less than 1% of the televoters. Portugal was underwhelming on the tele footage
@@irene6119 I totally disagree with you, so now what??? 🤷🏻♂️
Remarkable. Everything right! I should have listened...
I'm glad i'm not the only one seeing a potential Norway flop, but I would have to politely disagree on Serbia. I'd be surprised if they didn't make it in a televote only semi. But we won't know until tonight I guess.
To be honest Matt, I cannot see a world where Serbia misses the final. I hear you people about Malta, but with no allies and a 2nd slot, it seems difficult right now. Let's see!
Pretty surprising to see Serbia not in the top 10. I honestly don't see that happening.
Yeah, I think they'll qualify.
Thanks for the update and I wish your list was correct. We will see. Unfortunately this Semi is a massacre regarding the quality of Songs. Really, I would have loved to see more then 10 acts from this semi Saturday on stage again.
It will be a Nordic triumph... I hope Moldova and Czech Republic make it.
Congratulations ! ESCunited predictions were right!
There should be 12 qualifies in this semi final there are so many good songs. Its gonna be interesting. I still think Serbia will qualify and not Malta, damn I like both of them 😢😢😢
I want to have the kind of faith Connor has 🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻
This is the most not acurate toplist i have seen thus far. Malta will not qual, sebia will qual. Norway will end 2. or 3. Finland wins. Vesna will be borderline. I could be wrong, but i usually think you have spot on predictions, this year i just really think you are missing the correct calls. Worst prediction is Norway 7. Its gonna get massive votes from a large group. Have no idea how you think vesna will appeal to the general public. But guess we will find out later today :) gl
Norway was 10th in the press poll and even some in the Norwegian ESC Club are worried for it overall. Vocals and staging are not there. Flames look cheap, costume looks cheap... I personally don't like the song either (I'm Norwegian - as you maybe?). It will qualify though. Personally hope Serbia, Czechia and Latvia qualifies because I like (indie) music😉
@@Ita.Paperwhite No im not norwegian(Danish), i just usually know what the public likes, and i do disagree with the vocals, she has the strongest of all in my perspective, and the hardest vocal requirements. She is literally the only one who takes a chance on vocals, with the high note. And the rhytm is massive, thats why its been roaming the charts. I like the flames a lot, dress i would have made in a different material and colour, would have addded pyro. Well thats what i think the masses will think. ESC clubs are far from objective, and often look more artistic = Czechia, and they literally have no vocal, still think its a mess, just a pink mess.
I do like Serbia, like the melodi, and im a kink for japanese anime, so yeah :)
@@Ita.Paperwhite I think they'll do way better than the "experts" say. The tune is catchy and it's trending, They might even be 2nd or 3rd. 💚
1. Finland
2. Sweden
3. Norway
4. Israel
5. Moldova
6. Serbia
7. Czechia
8. Switzerland
9. Latvia
10. Croatia
Thank you Matt from Malta❤🇲🇹
Gosh, the semi finals only having televote really makes it tough to do these predictions... I want them ALL to make it through!! Haha
I am a little dissapointed in your team.
Croatia ahead of Serbia??? This first semi-final might be more difficult to predict than I thought..
They are sleeping on Serbia..it's actually a true Banger ..yes it's dark and yes it's a complex idea but it's a true Banger that bass
Alone I thought EUROPE KNOWS ABOUT THAT BASS NOW LETS DANCE unfortunately there fantastic production quality you can't hear live the second verse with the """ hah hah hah " breathing effet it's slow to upbeat is experize listen to official version with earphones a totally different experience
Croatia and Serbia 😮..... well, I'm not sure about liking this prediction even though I like both songs I'd choose Serbia over Croatia.
I am sure Serbia will qualify, most likely at the expense of Malta or Portugal. Otherwise I agree with the team.
Just realised the semi has made it to BBC1 this year.
Great job as always
Forza Malta ❤🥰🥰🇲🇹
This prediction feels too western-centric, since you have Serbia out and Malta, Portugal, Switzerland in. I think Czechia, Moldova, Serbia are in, probably also Croatia. I also think Sweden, Finland, Israel are in, probably also Norway. Then it's a fight for the other 2 places. I can also see Norway being a shock NQ because the people who like Norway also like Sweden and Finland. I think Malta will be out. Malta is fun, but people who want upbeat fun will probably be voting for Finland or Israel, and people who want crazy fun will probably vote for Finland or Croatia. Personally I'd love Latvia and Azerbaijan to make it, but it seems unlikely. Azerbaijan might squeak through because it's mellow/warm/cozy and no other song delivers that mood. Maybe Azerbaijan could get a boost from Germany, with the large Turkish diaspora. Both Portugal and Switzerland have gotten support from France in the past - which one will get more French votes? My guess is Switzerland, which could also get votes from Germany. So Switzerland might be in, but could also be out. The only one I feel sure will be out is Ireland. (Sorry Ireland!)
Really hope to see Malta in the final as well, they're so fun!!
Norway 7th? Serbia out instead of Malta, Switzerland or Portugal? Lmao yeah nope.
I don't think Serbia (or Portugal) will be out, but The Netherlands and Switzerland... and I'd put Malta there too.
I like the list ;-)
❤❤
🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹 vote Portugal Mimicat
Roy being the bold and also the wrong one on the team norway will sail through i also think malta and Switzerland are going through still got doubts for portugal and czechia because of the staging
Even i want them to qualify really baaad
YAAAS Malta! Thank you for appreciating it! However Serbia should be over Croatia tho, ALWAYS
I don't think Switzerland or Portugal will go through. I agree with all the others. I think it will be Serbia and possibly Latvia taking those places.
We're always respectful, what are you talking about? 😆😀 😀 😀
Good luck everybody!
I still don't know who's my winner... I can't choose yet!
This isn't easy... I couldn't be a jury!!! 😀
Honestly, I don't see Czech Republic and/or Croatia qualifying
Serbia will qualify instead of croatia
Of course Malta is 5, as one of the members jokingly said to never said anything bad about Malta because the boss likes it. I wonder who's the boss? 🤔😉
Gosh you got it close - poor Malta.
There is a VERY unlikely world where Sweden really doesn’t connect with the televote and someone else goes through. It’s a very Jury focused song
Maybe nobody votes for it because everyone thinks others will vote for it 😮😮😮 that would be a shock 😮
@@johnny11415 that’s the thing. I just can’t see it doing anywhere near as well as everyone thinks… it’s an amazing song but it’s not done deal territory. Finland has a wider appeal to both jury and public
@@MrUltrAdaman agree with you, Sweden is not in my top ten, I feel the hype has worn off and other songs are growing on people, but anything can happen.
@@johnny11415 it makes my top 10. But there are others ahead of it: Finland, Norway, Israel, Cyprus… heck even Moldova. Croatia could even be a surprise, you can see it doing a SubWoolfer and ending up top 10.
I do not see Serbia qualifying. It feels to me like an eurovision bubble hype
Agree on ten countrys, but NOT on the ranking. Norway for the win ❤❤
So, Malta? Big experts 😂🤣
There are some countries, who can suffer of CET+1 televoters and also varying sms costs, the most I think Croatia and Serbia can be in danger
That's a interesting comment. Hadn't thought about those nations who were an hour ahead. But they still get a vote so maybe the percentages will be the same.
@@nicki6412 Finland is CET+2 aka 2 hours ahead!!! 🇫🇮
@Marsu Karhu how would that impact on voting. Less Finnish fans for example voting would mean what?
@@marsukarhu9477 at the moment + 1 when "summertime"
@@nicki6412 ahead 😀 Late, working days tuesday, it means waiting esc voting time 1130 pm or later, affected countries are Finland, Latvia, Israel, not so much search about rest of the world
Please be right about Malta 😭
"This is a predictions video, not a preference video"
Proceeds to put the worst song this year in 5th, a song that will for sure finish bottom 3 in this semi, ahead of a fan favourite in Norway. Btw Norway isn't even my favourite, but it's OBVIOUS, whether you like it or not, that it will finish WAYYYY ahead of Malta.
Edit: I've just realised they think Serbia wont qualify LMAO
