Eurovision fans work out which four acts will be AXED from the competition tonight in nail-biting second semi final
EUROVISION fans are convinced they have worked out four acts that are set to fall at tonight’s penultimate hurdle.
Music lovers are gearing themselves up for the Grand Final this weekend and think they know some of the nations that won’t make it.
Tonight’s second semi-final will see 16 acts take to the stage at Eurovision, which is being held this year in Basel, Switzerland.
Once they have all performed, votes will be thrown open and 10 will be picked to go through to Saturday night’s Grand Final 2025.
The UK is one of ‘the big five’ that has already made it through.
Sharing their thoughts online, Eurovision fans have scrutinised the 16 semi-final acts and ‘worked out’ who is going to go.
One person, who was in the audience at Tuesday night’s first semi-final, said on Reddit: “Having been to the show last night, this is what I’m expecting.
“Likely not qualifying… Denmark (looks a little dated as well as she sings). Ireland (she sounded very nervous and it doesn’t quite work imo).
“Montenegro (Greece and Israel were better and the recap is bad).
“Georgia (the song isn’t good enough even if she sang it well, it was her birthday today!).”
Another agreed on two nations, saying: “I’m gonna put my prediction here too so I can link the comment after tonight and show everyone how right I was.
“Pretty sure they’re out: Montenegro, Georgia.”
Fearing the worst for Ireland, a third wrote: “I love Ireland, but I am bracing myself for a NQ.”
And someone else added: “NQ for sure is Montenegro and Georgia. And Ireland. (One I truly dislike).”
A fourth, meanwhile, added: “All I want is Ireland, Lithuania, and Australia qualifying and I’ll be happy.
“I think Lithuania and Australia have pretty good chances but nervous about Ireland’s slightly negative perception online.”
The nations performing in Thursday night’s second semi-final are; Australia, Montenegro, Australia, Ireland, Latvia, Armenia and Austria.
They will be joined by Greece, Lithuania, Malta, Malta, Georgia, Denmark, Czechia, Luxembourg, Israel, Serbia and Finland.
Australia’s entry Go-Jo will be opening the semi-final with his song Milkshake Man. Finland‘s Erika Vikman will be closing the show with her song ICH KOMME.
The UK’s entry, girl group Remember Monday, has already made it through to the Grand Final on Saturday night, along with this year’s acts from France, Germany, Italy and Spain.
Remember Monday will be performing in tonight’s semi-final but not competing, along with French singer Louane and German duo Abor & Tynna.
