Are you desperate for entertainment during a midweek evening in May? Are you the type that flicks through the channels like Sumo TV and SyFy? Then there's every chance you'll come across the first Semi Final of the 2014 contest on Tuesday the 6th of May. Go on, it'll break the week up.

On this page you can see my predictions for the first semi-final 2014 which were made in late April.

The UK votes in the other semi on Thursday, so tonight's semi will be purely based on listening and watching the various Euro N-list celebs. Both hot bookie favourites are represented here and I fully expect them to take the top 2 slots. After that, it's much more difficult to predict. Azerbaijan are shoo in's but then we're into the realms of the unknowable. The Eastern presence should be strong with those loving neighbours Ukraine & Russia, followed by random factors Hungary, Iceland & Montenegro. Everything crossed for gummy Valentina. Dark horse qualifier Latvia most likely to shock.
