Hi guys ! I was thinking about this topic recently and I think it can be cool to admit that we were wrong sometimes :

What are the thoughts you had about an entry that you were almost 200% certain about it but at the end : you were wrong.

Let me start first :

* I would have never thought the first time I heard Amar Pelos Dois that it would have been the future winner, I was like certain it was gonna be dead last in the semi. Of course my opinion changed with time as I saw that a lot of people were hyping it and something was happening specially during the semis.

* I was certain that Agnete was a lock for the final, at that time the song seemed to me very eurovisionary and people would eat the song up specially the juries.

* Back in 2015 for whatever reason I was more and more confident about the fact that Belgium could take the trophy home with "Rhythm inside" and I believed it hard as I could during the night itself until I saw that it was more like a 3 horses race between Sweden, Russia and Italy.

Oh my god I was actually just going to start a "Your Wrongest Predictions" thread the other day! GMTA I suppose :)

I have so many and will update this as I recall them, but for starters, I thought :cz: were going to win Eurovision 2016.

... Italy winning in 2017, I was so sure about it after his EiC performance
... Estonia qualifying in 2016 and Moldova in 2015
... Satellite not finishing top 10 after it was selected in 2010

I was sure, Iceland 2012 was gonna win the contest. Not only is it one of my all-time favourite Eurovision songs, I also thought it would be THE perfect winning song. Duett, the chemistry, the dark vibes, the orchestral instruments... everything was just perfect about this.

I 100% expected it to be top 10 at least. Maybe if they had kept it in Icelandic ?

Totally expected NQ :
2018 :cy: (killed by jury)
2017 :pt: (killed by televote)

2010 :de: being bottom 5
2018 :gr: getting qualified and ending top 15
2019 :es: being top 10

No-one else probably thought this, but I was surprised when the UK kept getting bad results from 2010-2012 because I liked all three songs.

I was almost sure that both :al: 2015 and :ee: 2018 were going to win the whole thing. Not by a huge landslide, but still...

Amateur. I thought this would be in a small group at the top.

In my defense, that's what I thought for a looooong time but just a few days before the SF I had the feeling it wouldn't be the case :lol:

I forgot about 2018 :ch:. I thought it would be a top 10 for sure.

Actually same! :lol:

I've also just received a reminder that I thought :no: were going to be a massive, massive flop in 2017.

I thought :no: 2019 would actually flop with the televote as well :? How wrong was I
I thought :az: and :ch: 2018 were certain qualifiers
:au: 2016 winning the whole thing. Even after they revealed their televote score.
:ch: 2015 qualifying :? What went wrong there as well
