So the semi-final allocation draw was made yesterday, the results for which can be found
here. Semi-final 1 is looking more open, whereas the second is gonna be a total bloodbath with hard-hitters like Sweden and Russia. In terms of announced artists, Spain's entry this year is the best they've put forward in years, and with some good staging, could see them move over to the top half for the first time since 2014.
Finland have also just announced their artist, and it is...Darude.
Yes, THE Darude of Sandstorm fame. Tel Aviv is gonna be banging.
As for our potential entries? Well...Unless some insane staging is pulled out of the bag, and our song is good live, it'll be bottom 5 for us again.
Oh, and one more thing. San Marino have internally selected Serhat as their entrant this year, which I'm very much looking forward to. Sure, they likely won't qualify again, but it'll be a laugh.
