Wiwi has also been running two polls to determine which countries Eurovision fans believe will advance from the semi-finals. In my polls you are allowed to vote for your own country. In the actual competition you are not. This obviously skews the results, but I don’t have the technology to prevent this. Just shoot me.

In any case, the following countries are predicted to advance from the first semi-final (you can place your vote in the first-semi-final poll by clicking here).

Poland’s Marcin Mrozinski 249, 17.26%
