Starting this thread off for the 2020 contest - thought it might be fun to make some predictions before we even know the participants/songs, and see if our intuitions will come true! (The poll will close once we can hear the first songs of the season - when Albania's NF songs are released mid-November)

Here are a few of my own:

:es: will finish bottom 5 (again)
At least one entry will feature some lyrics in an Asian language
:nl: will finish top 10
:bg: will qualify, but come mid-table
:it: will be the best performing Big 5 country again
In the semis, we will see a country place 10th with both the juries and televote, but 11th overall and therefore fail to qualify.
:am:'s jury will rank :az: second-last in the final rather than dead last, much to everyone's surprise
:pt: will send another fan favourite which flops
:sl: will win, but the winner will be one of RTVSLO's eight internally-chosen artists in EMA, rather than one of the artists participating in EMA Fresh.

:nl: internally selects, so expecting them to hit top 13
:rs: will once again be ignored
:gr: will select some televote magnet
:al: will be on the HYPE list if they managed to send Elvana
:it: will be on the HYPE list but with the new direction they're having it could be another top 5 or out of top 10
:am: managed to Q
:ge: will again select a generally unappealing entry
:mk: will qualify if they could manage to submit a jury-friendly entry
:be: will do better than expected
:fr: will be on the HYPE list. I feel they'd select an amazing entry this year.
:cz:, :sl:, :it:, :fr: and possibly :be: will fight for the glass mic

Oh, that sounds great, predicting something completely out of the blue!! My guesses:

:se: will score well with the jurys but bomb even worse than 2018 in the televote

:it: will be in the top 5 again and also the best performing country of the Big 5

:sl: will be the only country from the former Yugoslavians to qualify for the final

:uk: and :es: will be fighting for last place

:cz: will have its best result ever

:be: will end up second, making Hooverphonic the most successful Flemish act in history

:gr: and :cy: will both fail to qualify for the final

:pl: will win, with the next edition being held in Krakow

:au: and :bg: will fail to qualify.
:am: and :ro: will keep flopping.
:it: will rank second again.
:al: :sm: :sl: will all get their best results ever.
:cz: will win.
:pt: will become a dark horse after the semi final and be top 5 in the final.
:fr: will join the bottom 5 club.

Bruh this is meant to be a bold prediction thread.

:se: will come bottom 5 in the jury but top 5 in the televote.

:it: will be the worst performing of the big 5

:uk: & :es: will fight for the win and both end up top 3.

Well, since we only know two artists and no songs right now all predictions are kinda bold. ;)

Aye, true. But going on history its easy to assume sweden and italy will do well, while the uk and spain will flop. No matter, you're probably right anyway.

Well,nothing lasts forever and everything can change. If someone would have told me in 2011 that :gr: would completely disappear fom the top ten and even fail to qualify for the final I would´ve burst into laugh.

Am I the only one who thinks this topic doesn't make much sense. Predictions? Predictions based on what? Previous experience of the countries? We don't know anything about esc 2020 except the fact its taking place in NED, that Bulgaria is coming back and that Sweden will finish in top 3 with hurries.
