Once we’d found out all of the acts competing here at the Eurovision Song Contest 2018, we here at Eurovision Ireland created a poll to find who YOU, the Eurovision Ireland readers thought would qualify for the Grand Final from the 1st semi final.

We then combined these results with our poll following the 1st semi final rehearsals to try and give a more accurate picture of your thoughts. Think of them this way – Song and Show representing Juries and Televote!

As we now have our 10 finalists, let’s have a look and see how many Eurovision Ireland’s readership managed to get right! They have been ranked 1-10 as 1st-10th place as per the poll results, then coloured GREEN for correct guesses and RED for incorrect ones. Drum roll please…

1st – Finland

2nd – Greece

3rd = Cyprus

3rd = Israel

5th – Bulgaria

6th – Estonia

7th – Ireland

8th – Czech Republic

9th – Austria

10th – Belgium

8 out of 10! Not a bad score at all! While Eurovision Ireland readers thought Greece and Belgium would make the cut, Europe’s votes instead saw Albania and Lithuania qualify.

What did you think of tonight’s show? Did your favourites make it to the final?

Let us know what you think!
