May 22, 20214 yr I can’t call a Rank but I can see San Marino blitzing the televote and getting pure f***ed by the Jury vote and barely holding on to the top 10. like the result of KM-H from 2019
May 22, 20214 yr This is such an incredibly difficult year to call among the top group that it feels like the one that actually wins will be almost at random. Gun to my head I'd put the top 10 as: 01 Italy 02 Malta 03 Iceland 04 Switzerland 05 Ukraine 06 Cyprus 07 Lithuania 08 France 09 Sweden 10 San Marino Key things, I can see France being a flop on the televote and Ukraine being KEiiNO'd by the juries. I have Italy taking it at the moment but as the old rule goes "the jury or the televote, Italy never wins both!" so there could be enough nixing of their points to make them slip into 2nd place behind Malta who I don't see as completely out of the race as some people do. But as usual, I'll be totally wrong! None of my friends have really liked Malta so far. Destiny does great but the song is way too "Lizzo goes pop in 2019". It would've done better two years ago I think? I think Italy, Switzerland and France will be top 3, Ukraine, Cyprus and Malta fighting for top 5. But like said, this is a very unpredictable year and I'm all here for it. Edited May 22, 20214 yr by Sour Candy
May 22, 20214 yr before reading this thread i thought the juries could LOVE ukraine! not watched most of the performances as i want tonight to be fresh but i caved and watched Go_A, already know it's my winnner
May 22, 20214 yr Everyone loves Ukraine, but perhaps JUST not enough? It would be hands down the best winner since Euphoria in my books. Edited May 22, 20214 yr by Sour Candy
May 22, 20214 yr I think France is being vastly overestimated as per usual and will wind up somewhere between 11th and 15th. Surely they will do well in the jury vote but I think televoters will pay it dust. I have yet to meet a single casual Eurovision fan who likes it :lol: Malta also is being overhyped as the song and performance doesn't really offer anything new to the viewer. It'll do well for sure, but I don't think it will win. While I love Ukraine I do think that the juries will not give it a high enough score to win. I can see a 6th-10th situation for theme where they're in the top 5 in the televote at least. I'm leaning more and more towards Iceland managing to take the crown. It would be very fitting IMO. His song was a huge hit last year and a strong contender for the crown but obviously that never happened. Then now a few hours before he's supposed to step on stage for the jury show he learns that he can't perform live and has to use a rehearsal footage which thankfully was AMAZING. Sure, the song isn't as good as TAT but it's still a great song (and like the lyrics say "how does it keep getting better" with each play?). I know Daði's not everyone's cup of tea but that's going to be the case no matter who wins :lol: For me the songs I can still see winning are Iceland, Italy and Switzerland and I do think these will be the top 3.
May 22, 20214 yr I’m also inclined towards Iceland winning. Malta just doesn’t QUITE seem to add up (admittedly I’m not a big fan of the song) and the rest feel like they will sway either heavily jury of heavily televote and end up close but not close enough.
May 22, 20214 yr I think Ukraine is just a bit much for the juries, that could be the case for Italy too but both of the two are performed so perfectly for the songs imo. Maneskin have such amazing showmanship and Go_A just go for it and make you feel like you're right there at their concert having a rave and the time of your life. I may be biased because I love both but I think if the juries tank two great performances by very different songs by Eurovision standards, the criteria with which they're ranking needs to be looked at? I still have faith in Maneskin as they smashed Sanremo which traditionally is full of ballads, it was huge for a rock band to win that and it would be huge for a rock band to win Eurovision too.
May 22, 20214 yr I'm scared of later tonight's wine drunk me reacting if Iceland wins :lol: Possible apols in advance x I just can't see it myself, not saying it's impossible or I'd be hugely shocked but... I just can't see it.
May 22, 20214 yr These Iceland winner predictions are lowkey depressing me :lol: I don't see any way Iceland can win this either... It's sung in English yes, but that's the only appeal to possibly beat Italy and Ukraine for instance. "Hipsters" will vote for Ukraine I think.
May 22, 20214 yr Yeah I really don't see Iceland winning. After a bit of thinking, here's my top 5 prediction 1. Italy 2. Ukraine 3. France 4. Switzerland 5. Iceland
May 22, 20214 yr These Iceland winner predictions are lowkey depressing me :lol: Same, because I have not waited two years for THAT to happen I don't think it will but you never know.
May 22, 20214 yr before reading this thread i thought the juries could LOVE ukraine! not watched most of the performances as i want tonight to be fresh but i caved and watched Go_A, already know it's my winnner yesssss let's recruit more people into our cult
May 22, 20214 yr @1396083593794015234 Today I learned that the Dadi is a Wahlberliner! Ok. Now I don’t mind so much If he wins 🤣 Maybe if Reykjavik can’t find a suitably sized Arena, Berlin can loan them one 😉
May 22, 20214 yr What would happen if Iceland did win? With no winner to give or receive the prize. let's stop putting this out into the universe x
May 22, 20214 yr What would happen if Iceland did win? With no winner to give or receive the prize. That's why we need to make Iceland win because we have to see how they'll handle it :lol: I don't see any way Iceland can win this either... It's sung in English yes, but that's the only appeal to possibly beat Italy and Ukraine for instance. "Hipsters" will vote for Ukraine I think. You're forgetting about the sympathy appeal. I can guarantee you a lot of people will feel sorry for them when the commentators mention why they're in a different room to all the other competitors and will vote for them for that reason. Not necessarily how I want Iceland to win Eurovision but if it happens I'll happily take it as a consolation prize for our should-have-been victory last year.
May 22, 20214 yr Spain was literally out there giving it the “my nan died of COVID” so if there’s a sympathy vote, the Spanish out here snorting it up like a Coke head at a rave
