May 12, 20169 yr Australia will be closer to the middle even in the first half anyway. Can't see them having Australia perform in like the 3rd slot. WHUT
May 12, 20169 yr Weren't the two previous winners performing in the first half too? I don't get why everyone is making such a big deal. Surely, the most important thing is to perform in the middle of the running order, not too early or not too late? A 11th or 13th place in the first half is far more helpful than a place of last performer of the night for example.
May 12, 20169 yr I thought it couldn't happen given how many upbeat tracks we have this year compared to the last two but I'll admit that is quite a slow song-heavy first half. Good luck spacing those SVT.
May 12, 20169 yr OK here's my attempt at the running order: 01. Azerbaijan 02. Germany 03. The Netherlands 04. Czech Republic 05. Italy 06. Israel 07. Bulgaria 08. Poland 09. Sweden 10. Belgium 11. Australia 12. Hungary 13. France 14. Cyprus 15. Latvia 16. United Kingdom 17. Austria 18. Armenia 19. Spain 20. Malta 21. Georgia 22. Serbia 23. Russia 24. Croatia 25. Ukraine 26. Lithuania
May 12, 20169 yr My quick attempt at a prediction: 1. Belgium/Germany/Poland/Azerbaijan/Czech Republic/France/Hungary/Netherlands/Sweden/Italy/Bulgaria/Israel/Australia/ 14. Lithuania/Latvia/Cyprus/Malta/Ukraine/Spain/Croatia/United Kingdom/Armenia/Georgia/Russia/Austria/Serbia Serbia's song title wants me to put it last. Though Armenia could also be a good closer.
May 12, 20169 yr Oh god the first half does sound a lot more ballady Serbia and Ukraine are going to stand out much more now Don't make Croatia the sacrificial lamb please ;_;
May 12, 20169 yr Author 01 Belgium 02 Germany 03 Azerbaijan 04 Czech Republic 05 Hungary 06 Italy 07 Netherlands 08 Israel 09 Sweden 10 Bulgaria 11 Australia 12 Poland 13 France BREAK 14 Cyprus 15 Austria 16 United Kingdom 17 Latvia 18 Georgia 19 Ukraine 20 Lithuania 21 Armenia 22 Malta 23 Serbia 24 Russia 25 Croatia 26 Spain Is how I would do it but the actual thing may not resemble this at all.
May 12, 20169 yr I'd like to see something like: 01 Belgium: Laura Tesoro - "What's the Pressure" 02 Hungary: Freddie - "Pioneer" (get this UTTER SHIT out of the way, but I can see the death slot just as easily going to Germany) 03 Poland: Michal Szpak - "Colour of Your Love" 04 Netherlands: Douwe Bob - "Slow Down" 05 Bulgaria: Poli Genova - "If Love Was a Crime" 06 France: Amir - "J'ai cherché" 07 Israel: Hovi Star - "Made of Stars" 08 Azerbaijan: Samra - "Miracle" 09 Sweden: Frans - "If I Were Sorry" 10 Australia: Dami Im - "Sound of Silence" 11 Germany: Jamie-Lee - "Ghost" 12 Italy: Francesca Michielin - "No Degree of Separation" 13 Czech Republic: Gabriela Gunčíková - "I Stand" 14 Georgia: Nika Kocharov & Young Georgian Lolitaz - "Midnight Gold" 15 Malta: Ira Losco - "Walk on Water" 16 Serbia: Sanja Vučić ZAA - "Goodbye (Shelter)" 17 Lithuania: Donny Montell - "I've Been Waiting for This Night" 18 United Kingdom: Joe & Jake - "You're Not Alone" 19 Russia: Sergey Lazarev - "You Are the Only One" 20 Ukraine: Jamala - "1944" 21 Croatia: Nina Kraljić - "Lighthouse" 22 Latvia: Justs - "Heartbeat" 23 Cyprus: Minus One - "Alter Ego" 24 Armenia: Iveta Mukuchyan - "LoveWave" 25 Spain: Barei - "Say Yay!" 26 Austria: Zoë - "Loin d'ici" (D'ACCORD *.*)
May 12, 20169 yr I'll go for a prediction rather than my own personal opinion and that prediction is as follows: 01 Belgium 02 Israel 03 Azerbaijan 04 Hungary 05 Germany 06 Czech Republic 07 Poland 08 Bulgaria 09 Sweden 10 Italy 11 The Netherlands 12 Australia 13 France 14 Croatia 15 United Kingdom 16 Armenia 17 Georgia 18 Austria 19 Lithuania 20 Ukraine 21 Cyprus 22 Malta 23 Latvia 24 Spain 25 Serbia 26 Russia I don't know something like that, I just have this feeling they are going to push Russia to the win as much as possible. Lithuania is of course the logical and perfect closer though!
May 12, 20169 yr I think they're very unlikely to put a track they're pushing for the win last considering how hit and miss the slot's been!
May 12, 20169 yr Has it ever missed with songs expected to do well? It's generally disastrous for songs that are completely unliked anyway but obviously Italy did well off the back of it last year. No other favourites who recently performed last come to mind.
May 12, 20169 yr Has it ever missed with songs expected to do well? It's generally disastrous for songs that are completely unliked anyway but obviously Italy did well off the back of it last year. No other favourites who recently performed last come to mind. MOLLY! Statistically 16-24 is far safer ground. I'm guessing there's less chance of the audience starting to flag by that point.
May 12, 20169 yr I'd consider the running order pretty irrelevant to that disaster honestly. I guess performing last not salvaging things for her says something.
May 12, 20169 yr It's fair to say Molly massively underperformed in the final slot when expected to do much, much better.
May 12, 20169 yr My pet theory on the slot is that last is great if you're nothing like any of the tracks that have gone on before, but not really ideal if it is, as at that point a fair proportion of the audience just wants it over with so you need to be bringing something new to the table to hold their attention.
