Put a bet on the Eurovision Song Contest for my mum. Put £2.50 each way on Lithuania, so would get back £11 if they finish in the top 10, and £400 if they win. Do you think I'll be celebrating this evening, either way?

 

 

My two favourites this evening are Georgia (which is probably a little bit too 6music for Eurovision), and the Netherlands, which is lovely. Russia probably likely to win though.

My prediction attempts:

 

01 ► Australia: Dami Im - Sound Of Silence

02 ► Russia: Sergey Lazarev - You Are The Only One

03 ► Armenia: Iveta Mukuchyan - LoveWave

04 ► Ukraine: Jamala - 1944

05 ► Sweden: Frans - If I Were Sorry

06 ► France: Amir - J'ai cherché

07 ► Lithuania: Donny Montell - I've Been Waiting For This Night

08 ► Malta: Ira Losco - Walk On Water

09 ► Bulgaria: Poli Genova - If Love Was A Crime

10 ► Austria: ZOË - Loin d'ici

11 ► Belgium: Laura Tesoro - What's The Pressure

12 ► Italy: Francesca Michielin - No Degree Of Separation

13 ► Serbia: Sanja Vučić ZAA - Goodbye (Shelter)

14 ► Croatia: Nina Kraljić - Lighthouse

15 ► The Netherlands: Douwe Bob - Slow Down

16 ► Israel: Hovi Star - Made Of Stars

17 ► Cyprus: Minus One - Alter Ego

18 ► Azerbaijan: Samra - Miracle

19 ► United Kingdom: Joe and Jake - You're Not Alone

20 ► Georgia: Nika Kocharov and Young Georgian Lolitaz - Midnight Gold

21 ► Latvia: Justs - Heartbeat

22 ► Hungary: Freddie - Pioneer

23 ► Czech Republic: Gabriela Gunčíková - I Stand

24 ► Poland: Michał Szpak - Color Of Your Life

25 ► Spain: Barei - Say Yay!

26 ► Germany: Jamie-Lee - Ghost

 

Think Latvia and Spain will get killed by the uptempos ahead of them and being followed by Ukraine. I wouldn't be surprised if Austria did beat expectations and Bulgaria are a surprise flop as the actual performance didn't grab me despite the good song, sort of like Slovenia last year. I'm interested by the high Italy predictions as I don't really rate the song but they do seem to overpeform often

It's on :D

 

high hopes for France among others. Not sure if I could pinpoint my fave yet though

Who's here (and playing havoc with their multitasking skills) then?

 

Myself, finding this somewhat of a retreat from The Lounge which is a genuine MESS right now thanks to a certain few.

 

Frans is adorable :heart:

 

Loving the Avicii presence here :D

I'm watching... naff intro, looking forward to Australia, Bulgaria, Malta, Sweden, performances, not holding out for Joe & Joke to win it tonight.
Absolutely loving the nod to amazing Swedish dance music from over the years :wub:

 

It works so well introducing the contestants - especially the final transition into Don't You Worry Child. As well as being a timely reminder of how they're currently the dance capital of the world

Belgium - 7.7

I like this white version of Fleur East :angel: She looks happy, I feel good vibes from her. :P

Belgium / Laura Tesoro - What's The Pressure / The vocals were definitely worse than the semis, even more strained than they were before, and even the dance moves weren't as slick, but obviously she's nervous. Great opener though, very catchy, obviously very derivative but still very good fun and pretty current. 7.5/10

01 Belgium / Laura Tesoro - What's The Pressure / 7.5/10

You know, I've never been a fan of Laura's song up to now but hell, I think that second performance has converted me :o

 

Very good performance of a mediocre song on record.

Love the Queen intro to the opening track, that track did nothing for me, I literally don't know how that one got through.
