I've only heard each song once - just this afternoon - so going by first impressions and nothing else (in no particular order):

Malta
Bulgaria
Finland
Macedonia
Bosnia
Portugal
Turkey
Romania
Israel
Sweden


Iceland - the perfect time for a bathroom break.

Don't think Czech Republic will do too well.
But i do think Turkey will sail into the final!

And I'm hoping more and more for the Armenian song. It's grown on me big time.


Ok, my guess would be

Bosnia Herzegovina
Turkey
Armenia
Israel
Finland
Belarus
Portugal
Romania
FYROM

and then maybe Sweden and Switzerland

I'll agree with your first two -- Bosnia's song just has something to it (though Carl HATES it), and Armenia's song is well-staged (even if I can't stand it! :: laugh ::).

The remaining eight in no order:
Israel
Portugal
Malta
Iceland
Sweden
Turkey
Romania
Switzerland

I'd love to see Andorra in that mix (apparently Ms. Georgi is workin' it!), but the odds are pretty stacked against her, ne?
