I am happy Greece made it to the finals. It was amazing that it was in the first file. We didn't wait for too long to learn if we were through.

What are the songs that are most likely to qualify from the 2nd semi-final?

I don't care tbh. Eurovision has turned into countries voting for neighbouring countries... etc: ukrain, serbia, russia will all vote for eachother..

Which is one of the reasons why the contest is done differently this year.

With this semi-final not all countries could vote, only those countries who were directly selected in the final can vote in the semi-finals, or something like that.... Didn't quite followed the commentaries and only zapped from time to time to the Eurovision contest....

You're almost there ;)

In each semi-final, only those countries taking part could vote. In addition, the five countries with automatic 'byes' into the final could vote in one of the two semis.
Also, the split of countries in the semis was done to minimise the ever-increasing 'bloc-voting' of recent years.

Finland/Turkey FTW! (Our song's crap as usual).
