:CRO Croatia building a very good lead in the odds today. :thumbup: For 10 days they were at 18-24% and a huge jump today before the first 1/2. 

 

:SUI Swiss and :UKR Ukraine on the other hand dropping a lot.

:IRL Ireland should consider it a huge success, if they get top 10. Top 5 is wishful thinking for me. :d

In this competition, only the winner counts for me. There are no silver and bronze medals here. For me this competition has long lost its magic and shine.

Oh, absolutely the bolded part. The politics, blatant favoritism, rigging, Bjorkman, Sweden and the general tampering more and more with the live singing has devalued the contest.

 

Though for your first part, in the last 10 years, the silver and bronze medals are actually the real winners. Only Duncan Laurence and Maneskin (50-50 on Loreen last year) were deserving imo.

I generally enjoy songs like his, but for reason it hasnt grown on me at all. Maybe I'll warm up to it during the live shows this week.

 

:SUI staging seems to be worrying people, which might be why Nemo has dropped a bit in the odds.

Watched the leaks. Ireland has the best staging, it's one of the most memorable ESC acts ever. Not sure if that's enough to win the contest because the song is quite strange, but who knows... 

 

Ukraine also has a very good staging, if the televoters are still on their side, I wouldn't be that shocked if they win again.

 

Croatia is fun, but I don't really get why they are the heavy favorites. I can't see it getting as many televotes as Finland last year, and I have doubts about the jury votes as well.

In terms of today's semifinal, there's not a lot of songs high my personal list. Of course, a good performance can always elevate a song for me.

 

:POR:UKR are probably the songs that fit my personal taste best, but both entires aren't as high on my list as past entries from the same countries.

    • Not to the public until end of Wednesday, entry deadline is under 5 hours from now. Gonna see if I can persuade a couple more to join, like our Uruguayan friend who said he would be able to join due to time but now might be able to with the short turn around.

    • What can you expect from a simple woman from Magadan? As long as she was just running around and not talking, it was okay, but since she became an head of the federation in Rus and started talking this nonsense, it turned out that she was empty-headed. On top of that, she's fat as a pig. Disgusting person inside and out.
    • Rather negative     Both towards Vollering and towards the coach, who has been making a mess of this for years now (like Tokyo). Vollering literally said "it was not good for me that Markus and Vos were still in the front towards the end"     One of the most well-known journalists (albeit a bit of a drama queen, but in this case, he's right): "Absurdly bad race by Vollering. Unbelievable."   An entire analysis titled "Vollering only thought of herself and threw away and almost certain Dutch medal": https://www.wielerflits.nl/nieuws/demi-vollering-dacht-alleen-aan-zichzelf-en-verspeelt-vrijwel-zekere-wk-medaille-voor-nederland/   Vollering: "They were all riding just to make me lose"   https://www.gelderlander.nl/video/productie/vollering-mij-laten-verliezen-wk-zurich-772648?referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F   The 100th time Vollering shows she should simply not be in a team like this. It is always trouble, every single time. We need a team with like 6 Marianne Vos clones, she has the experience, she can read a race like absolutely nobody else in the world can and she plays her role, whether that's the team captain or working for someone else, without complaining and to the fullest extent.   Vollering is the exact opposite of Vos. Vollering rides for Team Vollering, which consists of Demi Vollering. No matter what.
