Obvious finalists:
Bloody Sweden: Shut the hell up about this song now! I am damn sick of this one already. All the 'oh, it's Sweden 2013' hype. I sense this one will end up being the closing song on the show.
Norway: Saade2 can seriously fuck off too, but he's going to the final, I think that's for certain.
Ukraine: This is one of those countries that has a secure block to give it a final place, though my preference would be for it to stay in the semi.
Serbia: A disappointment, but I think he's a certainty too.
Bosnia and Herzegovina: Without the remaining yugoslav nations having anything special, this one is also likely to take the rest of the balkan vote that Serbia doesn't get. Also yet to have missed a final.
Obvious losers:
Georgia: This will probably come last.
Macedonia: I've already forgotten it!
Croatia: See above
Estonia: See above above
Slovakia: See three lines up.
Dark Horses:
Netherlands: I actually think this one is cute and is Netherlands's best song for a few years. But they do have a poor track record, so...
Belarus: They're also hit and miss, but there's actually not much competition behind the obvious choices.
Bulgaria: Depends where it falls in the first half.
The rest seem like scoreboard filler which will come and go without much interest at all.
