I'm a bit surprised at some of these predictions, especially some of the pop predictions which I'm kind of expecting to underperform (even if I like them myself).

Personally I think Danæviia is being overlooked as a potential winner. Also would not be surprised to see Jadakissnia and Aeroche in the battle to win. Sneaky dark horse could be Land of DW. The song's received some attention and the emotional anchor behind it could help propel it higher than people are expecting. The song is certainly good enough to do well even without that added layer.

There will probably be a few pop songs in the top 10, but given the amount of potentials in that field I feel like it'll be hard for most of them to run away with the win as the votes might end up kind of spread all over. Might be wrong, and if I am I think Hendinia is the most likely option.

Finally, I think my entry would make sense as a contender too, but it's hard not to be biased towards your own entry lmao so I'll refrain from making any silly predictions on that. I'm enjoying seeing some hype for it in this thread but it remains to be seen how that translates to votes on thursday. I'd be delighted to either match or improve on my best result (5th), but I'm not holding out too much hope on that happening lol.

TL;DR - Here's my top 5 prediction:

01 DANÆVIIA • Polo & Pan - Petite Etoile (feat. Beth Ditto)

02 AEROCHE • Minuit Machine - Hold Me

03 HENDINIA • Mae Muller - Breakaway

04 JADAKISSNIA • goneMUNE - AMNESIA

05 LAND OF DW • Carson Coma - Daddy Said No

Me watching an entry I tried to confirm predicted to win, the contest after my Queen Rebecca Black won with someone else.

AND then having my entry called overrated and niche x

What did you try and confirm this time?!

This is further proof of what a fantastic month it has been — it could really go in any direction

Also the fact that so many names are being thrown as a contenders, it shows how strong this final is and we’re in for a surprise win!!!

But if I have to do some sort of predictions, then I think it is going to be something like this:

Hendinia V Klumzee FTW but will throw Nelionoir V Bøtanikkä in the mix as well.

Aeroche V Bhagdele V Bronzil V Terra Avium V Persephonia V Pestolia V Aelandor for Top 10!!!

Also we could very well have a winner with less than 250 points!!!

Hendinia coming for that niche win once more! I agree that Dan is being widely overlooked, felt like a very accessible standout to me, with a very recognisable vocalist.

1/17!

I have to say, the variation of opinions this contest is making it a VERY fun one to follow. Especially as someone who is supposedly in the mix (or not, depending on whether you ask Rich and Blacksquare or Leww and Herbs 😂).

I do hope there isn’t a runaway winner cos the results will be a rollercoaster if it’s as open as we all seem to think it is.

I’ve been adding things up every day and it’s pretty open so far 👀

I think 'Breakaway' is another song which, independently of seeing other people's predictions, I would not have thought would be a win contender. But I thought that about 'Twist The Knife' last month too and Rich was bang on the money there so ~

Watch Aeroche casually win in a landslide after all our deliberations
