Top 41 prediction sounds interesting but not because of 'maximum chaos' or drama as I've transcended from caring about that 😌

Bring the drama!

You're also banned now x

It will only be ‘chaos’ depending where you predict Cor Lupus I.e. #1 for a hit or #2 for a flop!!! #CHAOS

And all of you are sleeping on Taahino for WHAT REASON???

Remember my predictions are very rarely based on my tastes - there's some songs in the bottom 10 that I will probably vote for and some songs in the top 10 I definitely won't so it's not personal x

I just have a feeling Eledan will 18 their way into the top 10

Cumulonimbia 33rd?

🥺🥺🥺🥺

I really wouldn’t take that much stock in it - it’s one thing to predict likely successes and another thing to predict how 41 songs are going to fall in the eyes of 62 voters. I could well imagine the top 5 being close to reality but there’s definitely a world in which Zanmatony come top 20, or Aeroche finish mid table, Klavdia bombs etc etc.

But we LOVE to speculate x

That would be ideal x

These predictions omg!!! I hope some of you aren’t wrong!

I actually wrote up my own predictions yesterday before accidentally deleting the page. 🥲 I’ll try and get some ever-malfunctioning Cheiron betting odds up this weekend!

For what it’s worth, I can’t see past Hushkanukia vs Scotland 2. 🔮

a Hushky win would be great and also really funny bc I know Cameron probably wouldn't want to host, might not even enter next month despite an AQ 😂

Unless I can send Michelle McManus and she goes straight to the final 🤩

Also, if Hushkanukia win, I’ll get Lindsey to make me a BJSC cake

I genuinely will do it, Christ top 3 and I'll do it

If I had to bet I'd wager it all on Hushkanukia too.

I think someone should consult with our resident BJSC expert (A)lbert e(I)nstein on who's going to win.

Yes, let's trigger Bray x

The Big Contenders

Terra Avium :: yeule – Veil Of Darkness

This screams BJSC winner energy. Hyperpop-adjacent, melancholic, cyber-fragile but sleek. It hits that sweet spot of underground credibility + strong aesthetic + emotional ache. Forum voters adore a track that feels like it belongs in a neon cathedral at 3am. This one does. If it doesn’t win, it’s absolutely top 3.

Mothertopia :: Kelly Lee Owens – Higher

Classy electronic elevation. Hypnotic, tasteful, critically beloved energy. BJSC voters love feeling like they’re levitating in tasteful minimalism. This could absolutely take it, especially if the crowd leans refined over chaotic.

Kluminican Republic :: KAS:ST – Sound Of The Soul

Dark techno sermon. Massive atmosphere. If the voters are in their “warehouse spirituality” era, this wins by a landslide. It feels grand and immersive, which translates well in forum contests.

Bøtanikkä :: LA NIÑA – FIGLIA D' 'A TEMPESTA

Dramatic. Cultural. Fiery. Eurovision-coded but artful. If voters want theatrical intensity with authenticity, this could surge.

Greenfroze :: ZETAK – ARALARKO DAMA

Ethnic-electronic crossover with emotional pull. BJSC historically eats this up when it’s well done.

Likely to Do Well But Not Win

BANKS – Contaminated: strong but a bit “known quantity.”

Hot Chip – Devotion: cool, but maybe too safe.

Faouzia – DON’T EVER LEAVE ME: powerful, but BJSC sometimes resists overtly mainstream vocal drama.

First Aid Kit – Out Of My Head: gorgeous, but might be seen as too conventional indie-folk for a win.

💀

I'm happy to give an alternative top 41:
