Winner: Italy

Surprise top 5: Armenia

Surprise qualifier: Croatia

Surprise non-qualifier: Russia

Fan-favourite flop: Norway

Anna Rosinelli award: Austria

I think Netherlands is very polished and I'm going to argue against it winning. Croatia will be written off and make everyone go out of their minds in the semi-result thread, Russia will fail to impact anyone.

Interesting that Armenia has already been mentioned for two totally different things. I lean to the side of Lex as I feel Srbuk is someone who should be a fan favourite but the fans don’t really seem to be responding, and I think they’re very vulnerable opening a semi with a song that isn’t impactful enough. But in reality I expect staging to elevate it a bit and fall between the two - qualify and end up with a low top 15/20 result.

Winner: The Netherlands

Surprise top 5: Norway/Spain (I mean both could just as easily flop but I could also potentially see both capturing viewers’ interest with the right staging/running order)

Surprise qualifier: Lithuania

Surprise non-qualifier: Sweden (probably not, but I’m going leftfield with some of these. Imagine the outrage, international juries would be no more in Melfest)

Fan-favourite flop: Cyprus (well not flop, but maybe like 15th)

Anna Rosinelli award: San Marino

In the end, Portugal not qualifying wasn't a big surprise.

Forgot I had put San Marino as a surprise qualifier ohmy.gif

I should have put money on Norway going top five, I had a sneaking suspicion the televoters would love it drama.gif

Not surprised at Cyprus doing worse than many anticipated either...
