thinks that Semi Final one is far stronger than Semi number two....So that's probably a good thing for Ireland.
After a couple of listens my top tip is Iceland but also think Montengro, Andorra , Switzerland, Finland and Malta will make it through in Semi 1. After that's is a tough choice....
As far as Semi Final two goes...i think Denmark, Greece and Albania are shoe in's and alot of other lucky countries including Ireland been drawn in this semi.
Bon Chance Iceland :)
I agree. Iceland is fab but probably won't win. It's looking like Norway's year.
