The weekend starts here! On this page you can see my predictions for the second semi-final. This show will be aired on Thursday the 8th. The prediction machine spat out a few surprises, not least the bearded lady in 1st and the gypsy rap in 5th. The top 6 are separated by relatively few points so look to a potential upset on the bookie's favourite Romania winning the semi outright. After last year's prediction shambles and the knock to my confidence that ensued I am doubtful over any sure thing, but I'm willing to gamble it will be a kick in the shins for Georgia, and that Europe will utterly ignore this downer lsd-jazz shambles.

I've also had a pop at the other semi final here and the final already, so confident am I at the predictions below...
