I don't like the fact that Greece will appear in the third place at semi final. :( I think the place that a country appears is very important. Anyway, I wish good luck to Greece and to the other countries! Maybe in the final we will be in a good place!

Dammit, terrible draw for my country!

What do wildcard mean in this situation?

The country that has got the wild card chooses the place where she will be nominated at the semi final. Only 2 countries from each semi final has this card wich is given by draw.

Ok, cool!
But do they chose first?

i thinks it's great.
After and before 2 "dance" songs. people will remember the ballad between the 4 dance songs

Ireland is last, i know they got the wildcard along with Finland in the first semi final- thoguh i'm not sure who received it in semi final 2.

but that's great for Jedward, yeye

sweden is number 11, and i think it's ok, but i think it will have a great chance of standing out

I wish the russian grannies were in the start so it would be easier to forget them xD

so happy Ireland is last!!! that's so awesome! like they were last year too except this time in the first semi and not the second

I think it's a scary coincidence that Montenegro always is the first country in the first semi when they're participating o.O
Except in 2007 when it was just one semi

I really hope Finland will go to final, but they would have better chances if Sweden and Norway would be in the first semi final as Finland. But I guess it is these things they want to do impossible, the neighbor country-voting.

even so both Serbia, Bosnia-herzegovina, croatia, FYR Macedonia & Slovenia are in the same semifinal while monetnegro is by themselves in the first. i know it was just a coincidence, but it's still a bit unfair. even though I hate the montengrian song, it's still bad for them to not have the ones who usually votes for them in the same semifinal.

I agree! I hope Finland passes too, as I'm sure Sweden and Norway will do, though Finland is not so clear to me...anyways I want it to go to the final

Yes, if Sweden not goes to the final it will surely be a chock!

same for me! it is the best by far in that semifinal

I think it will be interesting to see if San Marino gets to final with their "social network song"..

Greece & Cyprus at the same semi-final

so obvious who their 12 points will go to in the semifinal....

poor Montenegro alone in semifinal
i cant believe almost all neighbors together
Serbia
FYR Macedonia
Slovenia
Croatia
Bosnia & Herzegovina
i think they will all go to the final

yeah i know...kinda weird coincidence i think

big time fail.
(I mean that all of them except one is in the same semi)

it seems that they had a lot of luck

yeah defo
hopefully we will get 12p from Norway at least But I'm pretty sure she will get more 12p

yeah it seems that way. yeah i also hope we'll get 12 p from Norway

Ten from each semi final goes to the final, right?

Svenskjäveln wrote:Ten from each semi final goes to the final, right?

yup so in the final there will be 26 countries

Was it 26 last year too?

Svenskjäveln wrote:Was it 26 last year too?

no it was only 25 because germany was the winner, and therefore directly qualified for the final. but they are already qualified even if they not win, so that's why there were only 25 acts last year.

this year it is 26 at least
