For 10 days they were at 18-24% and a huge jump today before the first 1/2. Swiss and Ukraine on the other hand dropping a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. staging seems to be worrying people, which might be why Nemo has dropped a bit in the odds. “Sport has the power to change the world.

Vektor 3,196 Posted May 7 #156 Share Posted May 7 (edited) 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. Edited May 7 by Vektor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian1010 7,565 Posted May 7 #157 Share Posted May 7 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. 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. “Sport has the power to change the world.

Federer91 2,207 Posted May 7 #158 Share Posted May 7 How nice of them to invite the correct winners (in an alternate universe) for 2018 & 2022 to open this year's show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
