How do YOU think the NQ-entries of the second semifinal in 2025 would have scored in the jury vote if it was there?
I am currently working on how every juryless SF would have looked like with juries (2025 sf 1 is already out) and am already stuck on the next one.
I feel like there are endless opportunities on how it would have ended. Almost every entry seems like it fits perfectly in every position from #6 to #16 tbh. Here my personal thoughts:
🇦🇺: They are usually successful with juries and people did predict them to not score badly in the grand final. My hot take is that the jury would have screwed with them quite a bit. Place #12-16.
🇨🇿: Feel like this would have qualified with the juries and maybe - just maybe - scored three digits? Or at least come close. Place #5-9.
🇷🇸: Massive range here. Could have either scored really well (big vocals and generally a rather jury-friendly song) or not be paid dust at all (except for 12 points from Montenegro.) Place #7-15.
🇮🇪: No fucking idea. Could have been one digit, could have been top 10. How the fuck am I supposed to know?! Place #7-16.
🇬🇪: Vocals were amazing so maybe a few points for that? Otherwise from professional perspective the song kinda… sucks? Maybe the Jiva treatment (one digit)? Or a little more. Place #11-16.
🇲🇪: 12 points from Serbia, that's my take. Won't score terribly with the rest, chance for Top 10 is definitely there. Place #9-14.
As you may see, I have no damn idea. Please help.
btw these are takes on how they would have scored with juries not overall.
