Wiwi’s readers have cast a total of 7,193 votes in our poll to determine who will win the first semi-final at Eurovision. In the end, Holland’s Anouk won the day, narrowly edging out Serbia’s Moje 3.
The “Birds” singer dazzled during her rehearsals this week, and seemed completely unfazed by the Eurovision experience during her press conference. When asked how she had prepared for her rehearsal last Thursday she had this to say: “I didn’t. I watched The Killing and I was laying in bed and that was it really.” Anouk earned 1,175 votes or 16.3% of all that were cast.
The women of Moje 3 have had a much more visible presence in Malmö. They took the time to speak with Team Wiwi on Thursday evening, and later hosted us at a Balkan throw-down in a villa outside of town. They finished just 140 votes short of victory in our poll, ending with 1,035 votes or 14.4%.
According to our poll, the other countries advancing to the final are: Denmark, Belarus, Ukraine, Ireland, Austria, Slovenia, Moldova and Cyprus.

@Vlad She is saying if Serbia had qualify, they will be number 10.
Anouk should keep to basic and show best vocal song… some more ‘birds’ could be added to the performance. Use white balloons and project bids in black and white. Show a pure and beautiful song and confirm with a same show… it will give us a better change for the top 5.
according to readers- not only the second semi but also the first semi will be win by Azerbaijan :)))) Muahahha
@Nathalie
You will end up last? What does that even mean?
How manny voices you had to add to Anouk, so she’d beat Moje 3?
I love both Lithuania and Estonia, and find them both quite underrated this year (although they often are EVERY year), quite possibly the biggest underrated performances. They truly deserve to qualify – the lyrics are meaningful, and the vocals are spot on for the type of song. I just can’t understand why fans were crazy for Estonia 2011 (a generic pop song about Manhattan) and good entries get overlooked. That’s Eurovision I guess. I hope the fans get it right 3 years in a row, and Lithuania qualify – Estonia too!
I’m quite disappointed because I love Lithuania’s song most, and it’s probably the only decent song in this list.
Serbia won’t qualify, or if it does I will end up last
