It's weirdly hypnotic The title "Shum" is translated into "Noise", and that is what i thought the first times i listened to it. But after i couple more listens and especially after the 1/2 it's grown on me, i must confess.

"It has been going pretty well for a while, with a second place and even a win, so now let's go back to songs which finish somewhere in the bottom of the semi's because we have a free spot in the final this year anyway!"? I didn't expect much, but wow, that was fairly disappointing It's not like you tend to get more than 20 points if you're a country that won last year anyways. It's a pretty solid tune though .

Federer91 2,140 Posted May 21, 2021 #455 Share Posted May 21, 2021 So, it appears that the first TV break is after 8 - Serbia, by the looks of the Jury show now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I used to think I was dedicated for watching it once! It's actually not a rehearsal. The juries will vote on these performances only, so you can say it is night 1 of the final. Tomorrow will be only for the televote voting. Also, the streams only cover the sound from the performances in the press-room, with commentary on what is going on from the people on site. No actual footage of the finale is seen. So, you are right, pretty hardcore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Federer91 2,140 Posted May 21, 2021 #458 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Second TV break is after 16 - Finland and before us. Giving time to people to relax and get that pulse back to normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vektor 3,195 Posted May 22, 2021 #460 Share Posted May 22, 2021 My predictions will go horribly wrong like every year, but this is what I expect today: Jury Winner || Top5 || Top10 - || || Televote Winner || Top5 || Top10 - || || Overall Winner || Top5 || Top10 - || || I don't have the balls to predict Switzerland winning because they are only 5th at the bookies, but this kinda suggest that I should. It's one of the few songs that can get a lot of points from both the audience and the jury, and I am afraid that jury will once again not give enough points to Italy. Anyway, if the voting is all over the place like in 2019, that can help Switzerland to be the next Arcade, or any other song that ends up in the Top5 in both the televote and in the jury voting. Maybe it can also be Iceland, that's the most unpredictable song. France is the obvious jury favorite that needs enough points from the televote, Italy and Ukraine are the televote favorites, and will need the blessing of the jury to win.
