This year's Eurovision is "anyone's contest", an expert told Euronews ahead of the second semi-final on Thursday. Ten countries have already qualified for the final and another ten will be selected in Thursday evening's pop carnival. All will join France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK — which get a free pass to the final — in the hope of being crowned the winner on Saturday. The first semi-final has already yielded some surprises with Belgium and Norway going through, Paul Jordan, dubbed Dr. Eurovision, told Euronews. Ireland, however, failed to qualify. On Thursday, all eyes will be on Iceland, forced to present their act in a pre-recorded performance after one of their band members tested positive for COVID-19.
