Yeah so this is a 'hey let's put sweden, belgium and italy top 3 in the reverse order and maybe estonia and france too in the top 5 and shuffle the rest' situation with basically everyone this year. I refuse to believe that SO many of them are more on board with just these three songs than with the rest. It's against any common sense and reeks of 'oh look at us, we totes get the odds, we loooooove italy as well' which was brought up earlier in the thread.

 

It's incredibly tedious. And looks retrospectively ridiculous on years when the odds are well out, like 2011, as I said a few pages back.

I get that it's an accumulation of each club and therefore there should be something of a similarity in results but not this much. That so much of what's doing well is NOT traditional Eurovision fare (France and Estonia are, if there wasn't this odds obsession I'd guess they'd be topping this poll but the rest...) and instead just 'cool' and 'on-trend' stuff is very telling. Does no one value individuality in their ranks at all (I don't know how many members each club has - edit: oh, they're on the first page of this thread, that's nowhere near enough on average then! but if televotes of entire countries can have more varied results than this that should disprove all clubs naturally coming to the same conclusion by dilution)?

 

Surely there should be more clubs that get captured by the joy of Belarus or Romania, or think that Australia's ballad is really deep, or go all out with the ridiculous of Montenegro and Croatia. Hell, if they want to be credible, Latvia or Iceland are right there - and the latter screams fan favourite. But they're not topping the odds so there's no need to pay attention to it.

Just like the odds there are some top10 placings I really don't understand.Sweden and Israel songs are very average. Portugal is awful.

 

Oh well, my 3 favs are in the top10 as well so I shouldn't be complaining. :)

I must credit Portugal and the rest of the world for being off-trend enough to ignore Bulgaria.

 

Estonia and Ireland have something wrong, there's no Requiem - if they're all going to vote for the same songs the least they can do is make sure that the best of that lot are a priority.

Italy gonna smash the record, if everyone else gives him 12 he'll get above 500 points :o

A lot of people I've spoken to outside the Eurovision bubble really dislike Italy's song when I've played it to them, yet all seem to be lapping up Bulgaria and Sweden (though I know a lot of people are expecting the latter to underperform, but a lot of people also thought Popular would - not that I Can't Go On is anywhere near as good, but Sweden do have a habit of living up to their odds this decade).

 

Lex may be right that this isn't a foregone conclusion, or I've just spoken to too small a sample to gauge.

The few people I've asked their opinions for also weren't especially floored/moved by the gorilla (in the music vide, mind) as the consensus seems to suggest.

 

Also this is a minor point but I can't help but notice the fact that when J'ai Cherche broke the OGAE points record some (not BuzzJack residents obviously) people said that it's just fan polling so it won't be accurate at all whilst the same people this year are taking the Italian OGAE landslide as hard and fast evidence of a nailed on victory.

I totally agree with this comment.

Well, I liked Italy's last year entry, but this 2017 entry is really awful. I can't understand why they're leading the betting odds to win this year. :drama: Also don't think european general public will love it, maybe the juries will like it.

I'd also include Belgium as the other strong contestant to win this year with Bulgaria and Sweden of course.

I never liked any Portugal's entry but this year they have a sublime, beautiful song - my favourite this year -, that the juries will love it. Not sure about the general public though. By the way, I think Portugal will be top 10 this year. :wub:
