BuzzJack Music Forum _ Eurovision Song Contest _ Who will win Eurovision 2018?
Posted by: RobBob 1st April 2018, 06:04 PM
A SIMPLE QUESTION.
I've included the top 10 countries with the bookmakers currently, from Bet365 as of 1st April. Who do you think, with just over a month to go and no rehearsals to base it off, will pick up the title this year?

I honestly have no idea who will win at this point. I feel like Israel and Estonia might be too controversial to win in a sense that people will either love them or hate them so i think they’ll both be in the top 10, just not win.
I have a feeling either Bulgaria, Sweden or Belgium will win, depending on the staging as they are perhaps the most inoffensive but it could easily be someone completely unexpected.

My gut still says Estonia. If it's something safer I think I'd go for Sweden actually or perhaps Australia as both are safe, modern pop songs that are likely to widely appeal.

Israel, I think. If not them, Estonia or Bulgaria.

My gut says Australia at this point, a non-polarising song, reliable performer and likely good staging going by Australia's past efforts.

Israel. The song alone is a likely winner but I sense the hype and talk will ascend as we approach Eurovision week and so viewers (and juries) will already be watching out for Netta. Estonia is a close threat but I don't see any others as a likely winner. I think Australia is too ordinary to clean up the televotes.

Considering everything that we know and don't know at this point, I'm still leaning towards Israel being the winner. I think Juries will appreciate the artistry and musicality of the song and she's the kind of charismatic performer that can really captivate and energize people into giving her televotes.
Should Israel fail though, I think Australia and Sweden will be rounding out the top 3 anyway so whichever one of those two has the stronger wind in their sails could take it from them.

I'm going to say it will be Czech Republic vs Sweden. I don't know why I can see it being this with the Czech Republic winning but by a few points

It's interesting you say this because I feel those two are too similar to both come top 2
Right now I think the juries won't be kind enough to Israel and it'll be Australia or Sweden, but I think Australia would need quite a significant jury lead

Voted for Bulgaria, not sure though... still have a bad feeling that Norway could do it

Israel and Estonia seem like the sensible options. I'd love to see France win and Cyprus to do well; my gut initially said Finland and I'm trying to follow through with that because I put money on it at the time. They've really sunk in the odds which surprises me. So I've voted Finland.

I hope you're right because this would be the best top 3 in a LONG time
Posted by: Midge 2nd April 2018, 03:31 AM
Sweden and Australia in the top 3 would make it the most generic top 3 in a long time...
Posted by: AdamAloud 2nd April 2018, 09:48 AM
Whilst I really want Israel to win, and I do think they have a great chance, my gut still says Sweden will snatch it.

Bulgaria.
Posted by: Ryan. 3rd April 2018, 11:03 PM
I've changed my mind to Israel, but if there's to be a surprise then I'm leaning towards France having the most potential to create a story and a moment.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 5th April 2018, 12:01 AM
I think Bulgaria but Israel may do it this year too.
Posted by: GREEK SIRTAKI 16th April 2018, 10:21 PM
Greece for sure ! 😂😂😂Nooo My country will end between 7-15
I think Estonia will be the winner.
Bulgaria and chech also have good chances.
Belgium might be the big surprise 1-3.
Israel will be disappointed not even in the top 5.

Israel

I think everyone’s resting on the “oh, Netta is just another Occidentalli’s Karma” theory too hard. I fail to see how this isn’t gonna explode live and be a moment everyone is talking about. It’s not resting on a gorilla gimic, it’s just CLEARLY the most attention grabbing song of the year. I’m not saying it’ll win but I don’t see it missing top 5 and underperforming at all.

Portugal might win again 
Posted by: Jason 3rd May 2018, 09:20 PM
Nah I knew Portugal would win last year since the first time I heard Amar Pelos Dois and I know Israel will win this year. 😋
Posted by: Liаm 4th May 2018, 11:23 AM
I think I'm gonna change my prediction to France, if not Israel. I don't think I'd totally count out Estonia but I could just as easily see it coming like 14th so I have NO idea 
Posted by: Odaisul 4th May 2018, 10:36 PM
Dont ever say that not even joking
Posted by: pippa 7th May 2018, 03:20 PM
Cyprus.
Israel could do an Italy on it from 2 years ago and not finish top 5.
