LAST CHANCE TO PREDICT, DEADLINE IN TWO HOURS!

Widely considered to be a battle between Eugent and Inis so it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out against the veterans!

Love Stig’s song and really like Iiris’ but the hype is with Elina whose song will surely be incredible live as its opera. Haven’t listened to many yet but I’m team Stig so far! err.ee is your friend

Exactly my thinking!

Yes Iz!

It's also takes inspiration from BJSC with its GOOGLE FORMS

Going to self-promote here, there's an annual game that takes place in the Euroverse called Eurovision Prediction that I believe one or two Buzzjackers have previously taken part in. This year's game is about to begin, I think it'd be lovely if we have a Buzzjack mini-league going. There's also PRIZES up for grabs and it only takes a minute to play, round one open NOW: https://www.escxtra.com/2017/12/10/round-one-albania/ If that hasn't already convinced you then do it for me, I have a number of participants record to SMASH!

Assuming Mikolas is amongst the finalists as is rumoured heavily, he would do excellently! Of course we don't know the competition, but Lie to Me is an easy qualifier and I could imagine that in top 10 contention along the lines of Donny Montell. Don't waste this chance Czechs!

Good point, the main thing tuning the Ricki-Lee rumour is the fact she isn’t signed to Sony according to what I’ve read. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Jessica, would love Delta but not sure I can see her happening while she still has commitments with The Voice. Samantha’s possible but not sure she has the wow factor. I’m expecting a biggish name at the fame of Dami Im, I’d predict Jess at this stage in the game as her Secret Daughter TV show has been on recently so she’s firmly in the public eye and she has a long awaited new studio album to promote next year.

:heart:

I voted I promise! :D

Ricki-Lee is currently top rumour after following various BBC and SBS Eurovision accounts!

Regarding the other X Factor releases, I feel like I read somewhere that they are recorded from dress rehearsals (hence no audience noise but not top notch quality) which I can see being the case based on the ones I have added to my library.

Not listened to the live performance more than the once so not sure if there are any differences! Not sure the X Factor Recording thing means too much, I remember Moves Like Jagger had a similar tag on throughout its chart presence.

It sounds like studio quality to me, is it not? :o

G4 Was totally team Grace but I applaud X Factor for getting a commercial winner that has a chance of a career and they had that in Grace and Rak-Su. Surely Syco will rush out albums for both of them before Easter? It'd be baffling not to!

quick close the vote!!! someone just said they wanted grace to win!!! ah there we go

I think Grace is closer in the vote than they'd like, hence Simon making sure he got back on the microphone to plead for votes.

Running order: 1. Grace 2. Rak-Su 3. Grace 4. Rak-Su Last year it was: 1. Saara 2. Matt 3. Matt 4. Saara so it seems like Rak-Su still need a bit of pushing over the line.

Grace doing a new original (Nothing But Words) and Too Young so nice to see a level paying field there!

Rak-Su doing a new original and Mona Lisa, I hope Grace is allowed the same freedom.

Interesting show, wasn't expecting the duets being the winner's singles twist! I would've preferred a solo version of Roots but I think what happened tonight would've got Grace more votes than if she'd done it solo, the tears moment at the end was a massive vote winner I'd imagine. I thought Live and Let Die worked really well actually, allowed Grace to show the strength of her voice (she's more Diana than she is Janet/Abi Alton etc in terms of quirky singers) and meant Simon could get in the strong singer comment. That could mean the Kevin votes will transfer to Grace for the strong singer reason. I could still see Grace snatching it, all depends on the song choices. If we get reprises of Too Young and Hesitate/Wolves for example versus Rak-Su reprises of Mona Lisa/I'm Feeling You then I think the former will appeal to that final-watching audience. It's definitely closer than the odds would suggest anyway.
