Still on my playlist:

 

Serbia, Ireland, Cyprus, Malta, Azerbaijan, Croatia and San Marino.

Since the contest I've only really listened to ZITTI E BUONI and Je me casse... With maybe a few plays of 10 Years, Adrenalina and Dark Side.

 

But then I did completely hammer them for months 🤣

10 Years is the only remaining ESC song in my top 200 chart although I also still have Beat of Broken Hearts from Mello on there!

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!

Just remembered this was a thing!

 

Does anyone want to see how it panned out?

Yes please.

Very interesting that Ireland performed so well in that process, Juranimo.

 

And San Marino, of course.

 

Still shocked at the televote for that.
