April 25, 20214 yr Im finding it so strange ( in a good way) to see Ireland get so many good ratings this year. It will flop in the real competition you know.
April 26, 20214 yr Thats what i am afraid but to be honest Ireland qualifying does feel like winning these days but thats only if we qualify.

May 2, 20214 yr Author Outstanding 01 / Russia: Manizha - Russian Woman 02 / Ukraine: Go_A - Shum What a song 'Russian Woman' is! Manizha is an incredible artist, possibly my favourite to be at Eurovision in a long time? I loved 'Shum' from the beginning but it did drop down a bit as more songs were released but after last weekend's Spanish pre-party, it's shot straight back up. I'm so fearful for both of these not qualifying because I can really see the juries tanking both of them. Amazing 03 / San Marino: Senhit - Adrenalina 04 / Serbia: Hurricane - Loco Loco 05 / Malta: Destiny - Je me casse 06 / Moldova: Natalia Gordienko - Sugar 07 / Croatia: Albina - Tick-Tock 08 / Germany: Jendrik - I Don't Feel Hate 09 / Lithuania: The Roop - Discoteque 10 / Cyprus: Elena Tsagrinou - El Diablo 11 / Czech Republic: Benny Cristo - Omaga 12 / Greece: Stefania - Last Dance 13 / Ireland: Lesley Roy - Maps BOP CENTRAL *.* This is like 2008/2009 levels of Eurotrash and I'm so here for it. Germany has dropped a bit, I think the novelty of it is starting to wear off for me a little, but I'm confident the live performance will make me love it all over again. Great 14 / Iceland: Daði og Gagnamagnið - 10 Years 15 / Australia: Montaigne - Technicolour 16 / Israel: Eden Alene - Set Me Free 17 / Azerbaijan: Efendi - Mata Hari 18 / Italy: Måneskin - Zitti e buoni 19 / Finland: Blind Channel - Dark Side 20 / Albania: Anxhela Peristeri - Karma 21 / The Netherlands: Jeangu Macrooy - Birth Of A New Age 22 / Belgium: Hooverphonic - The Wrong Place All brilliant entries, I just find myself going back to my top 13 a little more often. Decent 23 / Estonia: Uku Suviste - The Lucky One 24 / United Kingdom: James Newman - Embers 25 / Poland: Rafał - The Ride 26 / Denmark: Fyr og Flamme - Øve os på hinanden Perfectly fine, I don't expect any of them to be on the left side of the board though, unless they can pull off a spectacular performance. But in studio form, they're cute. OK/Wrong Year 27 / Spain: Blas Cantó - Voy a quedarme 28 / Romania: Roxen - Amensia 29 / Switzerland: Gjon's Tears - Tout l'univers 30 / Sweden: Tusse - Voices 31 / Norway: TIX - Fallen Angel 32 / Latvia: Samanta Tīna - The Moon Is Rising 33 / France: Barbara Pravi - Voilà 34 / Bulgaria: VICTORIA - growing up is getting old This is a mixed bag for me. A couple of these I really feel I'd be all over in other years, especially Switzerland. But I'm just not really here for ballads this year. When one of Switzerland, France or Bulgaria come on in a playlist in a couple of years time they'll probably hit me and become some of my post-favourites from the year. But in the here and now, I'm not actively seeking them out to listen to. Definitely not this year 35 / Slovenia: Ana Soklič - Amen 36 / Austria: Vincent Bueno - Amen 37 / Portugal: The Black Mamba - Love Is On My Side 38 / North Macedonia: Vasil - Here I Stand 39 / Georgia: Tornike Kipiani - You All very competent artists but yeah, there are far better ballads to put through to give the final some 'rise and fall' shall we say in the running order than any of these.
May 2, 20214 yr It's amazing how tastes differ. Russia and Ukraine are just not for me. They're at the bottom of my list.

Quite a good year on the whole, not a classic, but I'd realistically happily listen to 30 of them if they came on. And the bottom two are the only terrible ones for opposite reasons - Germany is just terrible and cringy on every level, Georgia is deathly dull. It's yet to be seen if anything can catch up on the weeks and weeks El Diablo has had with me, which is probably near on 2 months compared to some of them but it really does remain superb and I'm hoping it really comes alive, Fuego-style, in rehearsals this coming week!

However I will admit that Switzerland’s entry is nice and I can see the appeal, also Lithuania is a Eurovision entry if I’ve ever seen one so I can’t be too mad at its popularity. France HOWEVER is unbearable and I, despite its uniqueness, can’t fathom how it’s setting itself up to perform so well.
May 10, 20214 yr I've been having a bit of a play with excel (mostly to help myself learn understand various formulas etc) and thought it'd be interesting to see a full contest simulation. My "contest" is based on the following (and it makes sense in my head...): - Semi finals (based on all most recent rankings); this is based on the assumption that the majority of semi-final viewers are people who would be very familiar with the songs, with a randomiser allocating half to of these rankings to each semi - Final (based on first rankings only); conversely assuming that the majority of final viewers with be unfamiliar with the songs - Traditional Eurovision points issued for the top 10 rankings for each person - Total televote points allocated to Jury and distributed based on their aggregate ranking (whereby 1st in all rankings would = 25 and 26th = 0) as a percentage of the points total Will be interesting to see how this turns out. I'll post the results once all rankings have been posted after the semi-final!
