Chris' semifinal picks

Here are my picks to make it into the final round, in order of when they appear during tonight's performance:

Israel - Of all the controversial numbers, it's the controversialist!
Belarus - Schmaltz sells
Georgia - Because it is awesome
Switzerland - You can't kill vampires, you can only hope to contain them
Serbia - One of the frontrunners to win it all
Malta - It's by-the-numbers Eurovision, which I think has its appeal
Andorra - Rumor is Anonymous is a compelling live band
Hungary - Good song, good singer
Belgium - My dark horse pick, which will bite me in the ass when Denmark actually does make it through
Turkey - It gets stuck in your head and won't let go, especially when you're dialing in
