Srbuk seems like a really bad opener to me honestly. I don't think anybody wants to start a show with a song like that.

QUOTE(Umi @ Apr 2 2019, 05:58 PM)  Srbuk seems like a really bad opener to me honestly. I don't think anybody wants to start a show with a song like that. Agreed. Show openers are supposed to gently tap you in, not a noisy statement track. Given it hasn’t got a massive hook, I no longer consider Armenia as a lock-in qualifier. |

Here's hoping Armenia being the jarring opener makes Ireland stand out a tad bit more than it would with that slot.

Some disconnected thoughts I've had about the draw:
- Estonia seems like it's at risk of being memory holed in that last run from Australia to the end, they might be the biggest loser of the semi draw? - Basically all of the borderliners in the first half being squished together (Poland-Slovenia-Czechia-Hungary-Belarus(and Serbia too to some extent)) is gonna be the big dogfight of semi one - I'm presuming this means that San Marino and Azerbaijan have got suitably whacko staging - I actually think Armenia kinda makes sense as an opener since it kinda starts out slow and then builds to a crescendo which works at song one since the audience is already paying attention whereas they might've tuned out if it was song five or six. - Ireland were already up against it but that draw will have them sunk - Austria at song 9 feels like it has the potential to be a wildcard qualifier that nobody sees coming if people appreciate a moment of calm between uptempo Sweden and ridiculous Croatia - There's a lot of dramatic ballads in the back half of semi 2 and North Macedonia have it the toughest coming after Netherlands and before Azerbaijan |

Yeah, people are really doing the most thinking this will sink Cyprus. Robin Bengtsson kicked it all off two years ago and finished top 5 in the final, it’ll be a great starter!

Cyprus I'm sure will be perfectly fine, I was hoping Malta would get a much better draw than that though and I am nervous for them. I think Estonia benefit actually, the majority of people will gravitate to that one out of the group of 4 due to it being by far the most accessible. I expect top 5 in televote for Estonia, it's just whether the juries completely sink them a la Verona.

Bish you are crazy. Sandwiched between the 2 of the most unique Eurovision songs... should I say EVER... and you're expecting some mediocre uninspired lazy radio by numbers song to stand out? Lolzxzx

But unique doesn't necessarily equal good in a lot of people's minds, you're assuming that people find unique to be better. I'd be pretty damn sure my Mum would just think the two entries surrounding it are "weird" but she'd respond well to a safe well performed radio pop song.
I'm really leaning towards Australia not making it though after watching the recap running order video. It's eclipsed by what follows it in both madness by Iceland for sure, and eclipsed in class by Greece. |

Yeah I've said it the entire time. Australia probably won't qualify for the first time this year.

The juries have carried Australia to the final every single year they've entered, no matter the opinion of the public. This year won't be any different.

But Australia have always sent safe, well produced radio pop hits, we know the juries always go for that. See Cesar, Benjamin, JOWST, Nathan Trent, Ira Losco etc.
