Semi-final two eurovision 2022

Not long now! In a few weeks the artists of Semi-Final 2 of Eurovision 2022 will take to the stage in Turin, Italy and unveil the staging that will make or break their performances. Ahead of that — and with several pre-parties behind us — we have to ask one very important question. Who should qualify from the second semi-final of Eurovision 2022?

Eurovision 2022: Semi-final two line-up

The 18-act semi starts with the pop-rock sound of Finland’s The Rasmus and concludes with the electro-club vibe of Czech Republic’s We Are Domi. In between we’ll enjoy watching a Serbian woman washing her hands on stage, a heavily-tattooed Italian rocking out for San Marino, a Romanian star shouting “hola, me bebébé”, and the bookies’ Swedish darling getting very emotional. However, only ten of the 18 will make it out of the 12 May semi to reach the grand final on Saturday.

Running Order

  1. Finland: The Rasmus – “Jezebel”
  2. Israel: Michael Ben David – “I.M”
  3. Serbia: Konstrakta – “In corpore sano”
  4. Azerbaijan: Nadir Rustamli – “Fade to Black”
  5. Georgia: Circus Mircus – “Lock Me In”
  6. Malta: Emma Muscat – “I Am What I Am”
  7. San Marino: Achille Lauro – “Stripper”
  8. Australia: Sheldon Riley – “Not the Same”
  9. Cyprus: Andromache – “Ela”
  10. Ireland: Brooke – “That’s Rich”
  11. North Macedonia: Andrea – “Circles”
  12. Estonia: Stefan – “Hope”
  13. Romania: WRS – “Llámame”
  14. Poland: Ochman – “River”
  15. Montenegro: Vladana – “Breathe”
  16. Belgium: Jérémie Makiese – “Miss You”
  17. Sweden: Cornelia Jakobs – “Hold Me Closer”
  18. Czech Republic: We Are Domi – “Lights Off”

Precisely who will qualify is anyone’s guess. But who do you want to see make it? You can listen to each of this year’s first semi-final contestants in the clip below. Then vote for your favourites in our poll. You can vote for up to 10 entries, but you can only vote ONE time, so make it count.

This poll closes, just ahead of the first rehearsals in May. It’s up to you, Europe. Start voting now!

Who should win semi-final two of Eurovision 2022?

Unlike many here, I think Azerbaijan has a chance to go NQ, it’s the most soulless and unappealing entry they’ve sent in a while

The truth

Poland and Australia should top the qualifying list. Next Sweden. Somehow, though Cornelia has not convinced me as to her vocals. Cyprus should also be among the obvious qualifiers.
Who shouldn’t make it – Georgia, Israel, Ireland, San Marino, Serbia (tries to impress with the creativity/originality/pseudo artistry factor which does not really work).
Then the in-betweens – Romania, Estonia, Montenegro, N. Macedonia, Malta, Azerbaijan, Czech Rep., Belgium and Finland. From these I would leave out – Czech Rep., Belgium and either Romania or Finland.
This is not a prediction but what I hope will happen.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Ireland stayed in the semi final. It’s trashy messy and the image and so called choreography are also pretty bad. Live vocals are shaky too.

I voted for Sweden but Poland might win the jury. Konstrakta from Serbia is one class above everything else this year but its a bit too artsy to slay the televote or win over the jury…

Last year Ukraine & Finland were amongst those countries people barely thought would even qualify, and then both were amongst top acts in the final so anything can happen. Those average viewers have very different taste compared to this Europop fandom.

I find it incredible Ireland is appearing last in so many predictions on here. I know it’s not strong and its likely to not qualify unless the staging is amazing… But it’s better than last.. unlike the last few Irish artists she has some charm

Poland has this won! My future boyfriend is going to win this semi I think. My predicted qualifiers are: Poland Sweden Finland Australia Azerbaijan Belgium Cyprus Romania Estonia Serbia My personal qualifiers are: Poland Sweden Ireland Georgia Estonia Serbia Belgium Czech Republic Romania Cyprus Of course I would love Ireland to qualify, there’s definitely a route to the final but I’m also both realistic, and sick and tired trying to defend my country at this time every year. Shock qualifier would be Georgia. I honestly love this song so much for so many different reasons but of course I can’t… Read more »

Poland is going to win this Semifinal. He is going to win the jury vote and he si going to be N.1 or 2 in televote. Unless Cornelia is going to be 4 or 5 in jurys votes because Azerbaijan, Poland, Belgium and Australia are going to have more votes than her in jurys voting

That’s the weak semi on my paper and probably the one I care less about. I want to see Ireland and Czechia through. Poland is nice and should qualify anyway. I don’t really care about the rest.

Malta is a easy nq due to a very likely last place in the televote, depends on where she’ll place with juries more, if decent jury score, 12th or 13th in semi, if not much jury support, can be easy last place in semi

Czechia hopefully will qualify

Some people are assuming Sweden has this SF in the bag. I think Poland could edge it. Song is instantly likeable, whereas “Hold Me Closer” needs three or four listens. Ochman has been vocally flawless, unlike Cornelia..and if the MF staging goes to Turin, that’s another few points deducted.

Cannot see anyone but Sweden winning, really. And cannot believe people is saying this is a strong sf, I really find difficult to choose 10 songs worthy of a eurovision final…

It’s quite a competitive semi, but there’s not a lot of entries I see fighting for the win, only Sweden. I think Sweden will take the semi by storm, with Serbia, Finland (if the vocals improve and the staging is cool), Australia, Poland and Cyprus right behind them. I think Estonia and Azerbaijan will also qualify comfortably, and from there on anyone except for North Macedonia, Ireland could make it. I think Belgium and Romania will sneak through, with the Czech Republic sadly getting left behind.

I can honestly say that there is not a single entry in the second semi that really excites me. Belgium perhaps – or Montenegro. But not really. I think ESC 2022 is saved by the Big 5 and a couple of entries in semi 1.

After my second of 3 evaluations (which I do every year), I’ve got Ochman from Poland first, with Stefan from Estonia 2nd and Cornelia from Sweden 3rd. It’s quite likely that my top 3 will stay that way and in that order when I’m done with my final evaluation in 2 weeks.

Just seeing the lineup makes me nervous.. Few great songs are gonna be out.. Imo Sweden,Poland,Australia are 100%,Estonia and Finland 90% if they don’t mess up the staging or vocals,Cyprus and Serbia are at 75-80% simply because Cyprus we need to see her perform on bigger stage and Konstrakta clicking with the audience.. Three of the rest are anyone’s guess and literally out of 18 acts,16 of them have a shot in one way or another.. Nadir is going against Sheldon and Ochman in the same vibe and adding against Cornelia in the same genre,same goes for Vladana while Israel… Read more »
