But before the Grand Final, let's analyze the first semi-final.
There were some surprises about the qualifiers. Russia won the semifinal, with an extraordinary performance, receiving points from all the countries. Besides Russia, Estonia was another expected finalist due to all the favouritism after the song was revealed.. Belgium also, with the originality of the song and the amazing voice quality of Löic was another qualifier everyone was expected. After two years acheiving good places in the grand final, the solid career and the good voice of Trijntje weren't enough to put The Netherlands in the final one more time. But the bets were predicting that.
So for the expected finalists, there were also Georgia, with a ver charismatic performance in a vey unique style, Albania with lots of favouritism, and Romania and Greece, more because of the country and less than because of the song's quality. However, both countries were able to give good performances in the semifinal, especially Greece, that transformed something very basic in something astonishing.Also Belarus, after two qualifications in a row, and due to the favouritism of the song, were also a predictable qualified. All the controverse and the neighbors and the singers that made the group Genealogy from Armenia, made it also a qualified. The singers' voices were far behind of what it was expected, made some people disappointed, especially the juries that placed the song in 12th place. If Moldova and Macedonia had low chances before the show, they were even lower when they acted, because their performances were too weak for many people. With one place remaining in the predictions, the oppinions were divided between Denmark that, even not being loved by the public could be saved by the juries, Finland that could receive many votes by the public that could overcome the lack of votes from the juries, and Hungary that could receive some votes from the public and the juries. At the end the qualified was Hungary, the only one placed in the TOP10 by the juries, since Denmark was placed in 11th in the juries and Finland in 16th and last, making impossible the finnish qualification even with the 10th place in the public.
The lack of emotions in the belarussian performance damaged the chances for a qualification.
Finally there was another country that the people didn't put in the quaifiers but, after the performance and the qualifications was put in the TOP10 of possible winners in the bettings: Serbia. The song didn't have anything original or with good quality. But, the strong performance of Bojana together with a good presence on stage of all the elements, made them a strong qualifier.
