May 16, 20214 yr I'm over the moon Italy is now number 1 in the odds. Forza Italia! Maneskin legends! :w00t: If you want some real FUEGO in this year's Eurovision you will get it in Italy's performance. :yahoo: Bye Bye Swiss Arcade copycat Switzerland down to 7th place. :lol: How cringe is this post from 10 to 10 x
May 16, 20214 yr Semi 1 (no order) Lithuania Russia Sweden Cyprus Croatia Belgium Romania Azerbaijan Ukraine Malta Semi 2 San Marino Greece Austria* Iceland Serbia Albania Portugal* Bulgaria Finland Switzerland *Took out Czech Republic and Moldova after rehearsals, as much as it pains me.
May 16, 20214 yr Moldova and Czech have been disappointing. Sugar needed frivolous, camp, ridiculous staging. Even the pink jackets are gone. Were they not aware that the video was part if of the appeal of the song?
May 16, 20214 yr If Italy do win, interesting to see how they would host as when they hosted in 1991 is was absolutely horrific,
May 16, 20214 yr I feel like Netherlands will do pretty well with the jury at least and will certainly avoid the bottom three. One of the most underrated songs of the year for me, it has a lot going for it, it’s quite anthemic and stirring lyrically and musically, and it’s quite out there for a host entry. They could have played it way safer with something more like the radio country-pop that they do so well, I think they could surprise - not to the extent of a top ten but like 13th-18th.
May 17, 20214 yr A lots can happen in 30 years :lol: I'd hope so, but the good thing is they can do no worse, I always remember when Sweden hosted after them it felt like a dream shield in comparison, but to be fair Sweden are always brilliant hosts.
May 17, 20214 yr I just watched some clips from 1991 and it was.... a journey. But yeah, surely they would do better now as the concept is probably stricker with its rules.
May 17, 20214 yr Yes it is much stricter now and more people oversee the show so i don't think it could happen again, even though i was fairly young at the time i remember been so frustrated watching it, as the year before in Yugoslavia was hosted very well and was a very good show apart from Spain having to start again in the performance but outside that it was all plain sailing. But away from that i wouldn't be surprised if Italy won, they have had fairly good placings since they returned to the competition although i have to say ive never been a huge fan of their entries and this year is no different, i would be far happier to see Malta, Switzerland or France to win from the other favourites.
May 17, 20214 yr I would welcome any of those pre-contest faves to win - not a bad choice there and Malta and Iceland are due to have a victory... (and would be brilliant to see a Big 5 country win, it's been a decade)
May 17, 20214 yr Id be delighted for Malta, Cyrpus and Iceland to get their first wins as all 3 have fairly good songs this year.
May 21, 20214 yr This is how the songs chart on Finnish Spotify atm: 1 Dark Side by Blind Channel 60,185 (obvs) 44 El Diablo by Elena Tsagrinou 14,794 50 ZITTI E BUONI by Måneskin 12,974 61 SHUM by Go_A 10,887 62 Voices by Tusse 10,739 63 Mata Hari by Efendi 10,679 67 Fallen Angel by TIX 10,226 79 Je me casse by Destiny 9,332 81 Discoteque by THE ROOP 9,137 90 Tout l'univers by Gjon's Tears 8,616 99 10 Years by Daði Freyr 7,919 119 RUSSIAN WOMAN by Manizha 7,186 131 Set Me Free by Eden Alene 6,851 173 Adrenalina by Senhit, Flo Rida 5,963 189 Voilà by Barbara Pravi 5,769 192 Tick-Tock by Albina 5,711 Bear in mind that Italy and France haven't been even performed yet, so looking VERY GOOD for the former.
