Welcome to the Second Semifinal of the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest? Have we all recovered from Semi One yet?

The Eurovision Song Contest 2026 continues today with Semi-Final Two in Vienna – and once again, The Model is making its prediction for how tonight will pan out. With the semi-final broadcasting live tonight, it’s time to find out which ten entries are the most likely to make Saturday’s Grand Final according to the data. […]

James Stephenson and Samantha Ross look ahead to the second Semi Final and catch up with some more performers looking to get through to Saturday’s Grand Final.

As Eurovision researchers gathered in Vienna, this year’s Academic Conference tackled the growing friction between the EBU’s “neutral” rulebook and the complex geopolitical realities of Israeli participation and Eurovision’s desire to be continually United By Music.

The results of the Eurovision Audience Poll for the second Semi Final at Vienna 2026 are in. Bulgaria takes first place with 17 percent of the vote, Australia second on 16 percent, and Denmark third on 12 percent.

As we would say in another time, ten qualified, five fell, fifteen ran. Just before it all starts again with the second Semi Final, James Stephenson, Samantha Ross and some friends have a little review of Tuesday’s show.
