[OFF TOPIC] Eurovision Song Contest 2024


Recommended Posts

: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.

    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
