May 12, 20223 yr Author Really worried we might be getting a bit of a 2015 style second half at this point.

May 12, 20223 yr Author So this is how I'd do it, but given that the semis deviated a lot from the usual mode of doing running orders I've no idea if this will be anything like what shakes out 01 Czech Republic 02 Switzerland 03 Romania 04 Germany 05 Portugal 06 Finland 07 Netherlands 08 France 09 Italy 10 Ukraine 11 Norway 12 Armenia 13 Spain - COMERCIAL BREAK 14 Azerbaijan 15 Lithuania 16 Belgium 17 Sweden 18 Serbia 19 Greece 20 Estonia - SHOWBIZ PAD 21 United Kingdom 22 Poland 23 Moldova 24 Iceland 25 Australia

May 12, 20223 yr what are the f***ing odds that *both* CZ and FI don't draw any of the 8 available 2nd half slots. Gigantic mess

May 13, 20223 yr I'm wondering if Greece didn't have a fantastic semi result based on that. So happy Spain and Serbia got great slots though!
May 13, 20223 yr Sweden, Estonia, Armenia, Czech Republic and Moldova I think are my fave songs and while the uk song still hasnt really clicked with me I want it to do well, in general I think its a weak enough year but i think the top 5 will be 01 Ukraine 02 Sweden 03 United Kingdom 04 Spain 05 Moldova or France. Serbia, Belguim and Azerbaijan I'd be ok with in the bottom 3. Edited May 13, 20223 yr by Feel_The_Fever
May 13, 20223 yr Hate hate hate that Sam has been sandwiched between two other incredible vocalists, but otherwise 22nd is what I was pretty much hoping for. WRS being death slotted, yet another reason to hate on this Italian organisation. Spain a big winner out of that (and looks like the Italians are trying to have themselves overshadowed to wipe out any chances of that back-to-back win)
May 13, 20223 yr Hate hate hate that Sam has been sandwiched between two other incredible vocalists, but otherwise 22nd is what I was pretty much hoping for. I agree but his song is much lighter than the darkness that those two are going for and they're really similar, it could help him stand out more. I think he's done well. Nice position for Ukraine, they're really on board with that winning, and finishing with 'Hope', I like it (even if Estonia itself will be losing out massively in that position). Pretty happy with that running order all things considered, the first half looks like it flows quite well, it's just that second half and with the jury qualifying every ballad under the broken sun they did that to themselves.
May 13, 20223 yr On paper 22nd is exactly the spot I wanted for Sam, however I was hoping we wouldn’t be surrounded by such big songs (for varying reasons). I think that draw bodes very well for Sweden. And probably confirms a Ukraine win (ugh)
May 13, 20223 yr That 13-18 is ridiculous. Hope people at parties are still paying attention when Moldova comes on.
May 13, 20223 yr Hopefully! I don't really mind who come second and third because the top ten in my books are all fairly strong. UK finishing top 3 would do wonders for the contest there so they would finally actually pay attention to their qualification process.
May 13, 20223 yr Oh lord we’re in for a very long second half. Feel really bad that Romania have been death slotted, it deserved way way way better than that. I mean Switzerland is RIGHT there. Death slot that snoozefest and then Czechia stands out better I think. Idk. I feel so bad for the Czechs going up first, if they’d drawn second half they would have had such a good placing and stood out so much. Estonia closing I’m happy with tho, it’s a great track so we’re at least finishing on a high note
