[Eurovision 2009] Semi Final 1 Tonight!!

So the First Semi Final of the 54th Eurovision Song Contest takes place tonight. It will be aired at 20:00 GMT (21:00 CET) on RTÉ 2 and BBC 3. There will also be a live stream on eurovision.tv is you dont like commentary.

Ireland will not be taking part or voting in tonights contest but it will be interesting to see who gets through as there is a lot of good songs in it. My predictions for this semi are:

• Finland
• Sweden
• Belgium
• Turkey
• Israel
• FYR Macedonia
• Bulgaria
• Romania
• Portugal
• Malta

Andorra were in with a chance but with Spain switching to the 2nd Semi they are down a possible 12 points.

I’ll be probably tweeting about the show on my twitter page, but I will misse the first 45 minutes of the show due to Scouts so let me know what happens!

Best of luck to all the contestants!
