I manged to get the top 5 right last year so going with this

Croatia
Switzerland
Israel
Ireland

Not sure on final place, someone outside the top 5 in betting normally sneaks in, so maybe Ukraine or Italy instead of France.

Not the right order but theres 7 countries I picked, all in top 7 :cry:
 
Well I picked Swiss to run away with it, and thought Croatia would be 3rd or 4th, and Israel to do better from the jury vote but I guess they have to bring politics into it as usual with Eurovision. Shame about Finland. :(
 
Pretty cool week overall. Petra is such a legendary host. Glad to see her come back even though she said she was reluctant to do so as she has a bad back these days.
 
Olly Alexander’s performance is - below par,

Homoerotic video intro; lots of insinuated sexual positions in the choreography - probably taken from one of his dreams when he was 15 - vulgar

Most importantly extremely average vocal capabilities. Doesn’t seem to have more than a single octave range and can’t hold the notes at the end of the song.

I am just surprised that we didn’t come to last.

I think this years contest has probably the worst band of singers ever. Even the winner isn’t that impressive by past standards.

What are the rules to the contest, can’t we just send Adele or Ed Sheeran in.

Adele and Ed Sheeran are top big for Eurovision and have nothing to gain and everything to lose. Just imagine if Ed Sheeran was struggling with his vocals because he was recovering from a cold or something and finished last? It would ruin his credibility and likely finish his career.

Time for some real music imo, there must be some young bands out there with enough talent who could really do with the exposure being on Eurovision that we could field. Every year we have the same generic electro pop routine that most countries churn out and the middling songs we front just gets lost in the mix.

Adele on a bad day will beat all of the Eurotrash mob :D:D

Sam Ryder was decent in 2022 and as high as we came in the contest. Then we sent Mae Muller and Olly Alexander, neither can hold a note and has a vocal range of a bull frog.

If we want to send novelty act might as well send an all singing all dancing street magician, least there will be entertainment.
