[OFF TOPIC] Eurovision Song Contest 2023

[AsensioWillemsen 158]

Malta definitely missed out because of the new format (probably edged out by Serbia). The other four.. just not good enough.

[Vektor 3,326]

My ranking of the 13 acts from yesterday based on how well I think they did and how well I expect them to perform in the final:

 

 - very likely consensus winner, the only act that can do quite well in both the jury and the televote

 - likely televote winner, but the jury won't like it

 - Top5 televote, Top10 jury vote, so... maybe Top5 overall?

 - I am getting good vibes, Top10 in the final

 - potential jury winner, but it will flop in the televote, lower half of the Top10 overall

 - maybe even Top5 in the televote, but close to zero points from the jury, maaaybe Top10 overall

 - potentially Top10 in televote, midtable because of the jury

 - midtable overall, I think the televoters will likely it

 - midtable overall

 - probably the biggest disappointment, I think it will get surprisingly low points in the televote, mid to low on the table

 - barely in the Top20, or maybe it will be bottom tier

 - likely bottom tier, unless the jury will help it

 - likely bottom tier, unless the jury will help it

I don't get this. Sure it's not Loreen or Italy, but I can't see Mama ŠČ! getting close to zero there.

Btw. After two rounds of rehearsals La Zarra of France moved onto 3rd place in being favourite to win, thanks very impressive staging. Can France win adult Eurovision just after winning Junior one in winter? It would be rare achievment.

 

 

Edit: Second btw. @ManuCHIL did you knew that Chilean tv station Chanel 13 will broadcast the Grand Final of the show?  

Yes I do!! Sadly I live in Argentina xD...So I will watch it in a bar in Buenos Aires.

 

I love everything right now!! I'm a huge eurovision fan so this week I find everything gorgeous and impressive :D 

 

Latvia did not qualify

Yeah, their last two entries have been severely under valued in my opinion

I’m not suprised about Croatia qualifying. They are so funny and with 100% televoting it was clear they would make it.

Croatia is that yearly annoying gimmick why everybody says ESC is a bust. Don't care for it at all, but there were quite a few more problematic entries.
