Eurovision fans predict which four acts will be eliminated in dramatic second semi-final

fever is well and truly taking over, and with just hours to go before the second semi-final kicks off in Switzerland, fans think they already know who’s on the chopping block.

Sixteen acts will battle it out tonight for just 10 spots in Saturday’s Grand Final, and die-hard Eurovision watchers have been busy analysing performances and social media buzz to work out who might be waving goodbye.

Sadly, fans have singled out four countries they are convinced will not make it to the next stage of the song contest. According to one widely shared comment online, Denmark, Ireland, Montenegro, and Georgia are all at serious risk of being eliminated.

"Denmark looks a little dated as well as she sings," the user wrote. "Ireland sounded very nervous and it doesn't quite work imo. Montenegro… and were better and the recap is bad. Georgia… the song isn’t good enough even if she sang it well."

Another Eurovision enthusiast backed two of those picks, saying: "Pretty sure they're out: Montenegro, Georgia." A third added: "I love Ireland, but I am bracing myself for a NQ [non-qualification]."

One viewer who seemed nervous for their favourites said: "All I want is Ireland, Lithuania, and qualifying and I’ll be happy. I think Lithuania and Australia have pretty good chances but nervous about Ireland’s slightly negative perception online."

The UK's won’t be competing this evening, but will take to the stage with their folky track What The Hell Just Happened? They will be joined by other pre-qualified acts, including French star Louane and German duo Abor & Tynna, who are expected to deliver strong performances as they aren't facing the pressure of public votes.

Go-Jo from Australia will be the first to perform tonight with his cheeky and unforgettable number Milkshake Man, while Finland’s Erika Vikman will close the show with her fierce electro track ICH KOMME, which has already been dubbed one of the most unforgettable performances of the year.

Other contenders hoping to secure a Grand Final spot include singers from Armenia, Latvia, Greece, Lithuania, Austria, Serbia, Luxembourg, Czechia, and Israel.

Despite the excitement, some acts may struggle to leave a lasting impression. Georgia’s entry has been praised for the performer's strong vocals but criticised for not making a big enough impact. Montenegro’s slot appears to have been similarly overshadowed by flashier neighbouring acts.

Tonight’s show starts at 8pm BST and will be broadcast live on One and BBC , with commentary from Rylan Clark and Scott Mills. BBC Radio 2’s Sara Cox and Richie Anderson will also be offering their insights over the airwaves as the drama unfolds.

The Eurovision Song Contest continues with the second semi-final on Thursday, May 15 at 8pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. The Grand Final will take place on Saturday, May 17 at 8pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
