May 1, 20196 yr 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.
May 1, 20196 yr 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: Iceland Surprise top 5: Spain Surprise qualifier: San Marino Surprise non-qualifier: Portugal Fan favourite flop: Norway Anna Rosinelli award: Lithuania
