Athens 2004 shirt hanging on the clothes line when the old lady is dancing, and at the end one of the Athens 2004 mascots as a stuffed animal :p (my grandmother actually bought me the same stuffed animal in 2004 and I still have it in my room :lol:)

I still found a good amount of Athens 2004 merch on sale when I visited last year :p

A few more listens and I am now absolutely hooked on Europapa :d 

 

Even my Eurovision hating colleague is wild about the song, since it's such an immense throwback to the 90's with all the gabber music and even one of the Gods of the 90's, Paul Elstak, featuring in it.

 

Also very much enjoy Croatia's song by the way :d

Norwegian brothers Marcus and Martinus Will represent Sweden. Even if the Song wroters are Swedish, I don't know if it is worse for Sweden to have norwegian representatives or for Norway that they rather participate for Sweden :lol:

My favorites this year are without doubt Italy :ITA, Ukraine :UKR, Croatia :CRO and the dutch :NED.

 

But this is the most truly armenian song i've ever remember seeing in Eurovision, it brings me so many good memories of what i think is the best land of the Caucasus :ARM, i hope they get in top 10 this year! :d

Seems to be a swelling of support for Switzerland’s entry by Nemo.  up to a clear second on ESC scoreboard and odds tightening all the time into 7/1 (roughly 3rd fav)

 

listening to it you can see why, vocally very challenging and I think could score very well with juries and hold their own with the public.

My favorties before the live shows are... :NED:ITA:SUI:ARM:NOR 

 

I think some of those songs could be difficult to perform/stage, so my rankings could definetly change during the contest. Plus, there are a few songs I might like more if they are staged/performed well.

I don't think there's an entry that I considered 'bad' (apart from Germany, but even that is a stretch)

 

Greece, Malta, Cyprus, Austria, and Norway are my faves this year. Italy and Croatia also in my top 10.

I only know :NED and :CRO so far :d

 

I've heard a few others when playing the playlist, but no idea which country those were and they didn't really impress my anyway :p (I assume France was one, because it was something like 'mon amour' this and 'mon amour' that :p)

    • Besides, I think Eitrem will be better than Ghiotto. You can see it after 1500 meters. He is younger. The whole Norwegian team is also in great shape. You just have to look at the team Norway has, how many new and young skaters there are and in our group A there is one Trentini, who takes last place. In every winter sport we invest too little money to be counted.
    • Looking at last season's 1st World Cup, it's worse for now and it should be the other way around. Bosa out of shape, Trentini weak. Both will drop to a lower group. It's similar to skeleton, i.e. regression instead of progress. I hope this doesn't mean Ghiotto is also in weaker form, because it could end up with 0 podiums this weekend.
    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event
