Netherlands is alright, think it's most likely boarderline qualifier, like said before it well depend on how the juries rank, for me it's one of the better ballads in the semi
I really like it and she deserves to qualify for sure. This feels like Netherlands last role of the dice.
As others have said, Birds will need full jury support.

The new system should help, a well sung ballad should get reasonable scores even if its not top 10

In the final perhaps. In the semis I don't think it will help. I see it being in juries top 5 and in televoters bottom 5 as it isn't instant enough. It also has the problem of being in the first half and in most case scenarios only 40% qualify from the first half regardless of quality between halves.

I think its hard to second guess the voting on borderline qualifiers though. This certainly ain't a year where people will be able to easily pick the qualifiers, I think some money will be there to be made when qualifier odds are realised.
But you are right it will help in the final more, but this system does give it more of a chance then the old one
I definitely think the juries will go for this -- if they make the stage show dramatic enough -- or she has real stage presence it could scrape through with the televoters...certainly think it's one of the more interesting ballads...but I'll put it in my neutral pack of songs for now...
I genuinely cannot understand the overly positive reaction to this song. The lyrics are just awful! But I'll leave you all to it. Netherlands is near the bottom of my ranking.
Birds sounds like something from a film. No idea how it will do in Malmo. I'm not sure what I think of it yet.....I'm torn between pretty or pretentious

Maybe they can have a big black feathery bird sweep down and peck the eyes out of the backing singer...:eek:;)
Pretty and pretentious -- a perfect combo for juries...:)

But as people say I think it will be borderline qualifying and I think those last few qualifying places in that semi are going to be tight

Just her and backing singers nothing else.
I was hoping for a big black feathery bird dangling in the background --

I'll only start to worry when I hear an A.Hitchcock has been put in charge of staging
Live version she recorded this morning. Note perfect. Effortless. I'm getting a Kaas-esque feeling.
