Here we can discuss which gem has not been discovered by the masses but will later and which song overhyped by fans will fall from grace eventually (or, in the eyes of the public, in the finals).
Dark horse: This year has potential for a lot of dark horses because due to the similarity of many songs some will fall by the wayside. I think will end up in the middle of the scoreboard and not flopped as predicted - thanks to the audience. I can also see doing well because it's in a weak semi and it has a coolness factor that especially juries love (who want to be hip but supporting Austria and Czech Republic let them appear too bland).
(Fan) flops: Juries will overhype Bulgaria and no one will vote for Romania because it's similar musicwise and people usually vote for only one of them. Especially juries who are responsible to ensure a variety of songs. I also can see and in danger, especially with the juries. Also, and will have to fight for votes because the songs are somewhat similar and people will decide for one of them (given both are in the finals). My guess is, Eastern Europe will vote for Ben, Western for Destiny. Especially the juries. Malta has always been a jury favourite.
