Kate Ryan of 2012

[Anthony Tesla]

Russia: Last year they ended up in 9th place on its semifinal, they weren't that really far from elimination, thanks to the juries. It's not impossible to be eliminated despise having plenty of popular support and media buzz, if the song tanks hard with the juries

 

[Milos-BC]

No way for Russia to be Kate Ryan of the year.

I think Russia will end in top 5 in the final. It's hard to predict, as the juries may not fall for the grannies, but if it was just the televoting, they would be in top 3 at least imo.

They will surely end higher than they deserve anyway, I can't see a '2012 Kate Ryan' this year. I really believe Sweden will succeed in both semi-final and final. And I think "Euphoria" and Loreen are the closest in popularity to "Je t'adore" and Kate Ryan. However, it's obviously far better!

Maybe Serbia. Zeljko is coming back for the win and may end not qualifying though the song is not bad but the 2004 were million times better

Cyprus could be a shock non-qualifier

 

[Sabrewulf238]

I'm going to go out on a limb.....and say Ukraine.

I'm not sure if Cyprus could be the Kate Ryan because it's the country most people will probably think of this year when somebody says Kate Ryan and as the Kate Ryan is supposed to be a shock, it kind of beats itself.

This definitely went to Eva Boto from this year, so underrated!

Eva Boto - unfortunately , the winner

Except she was underrated even before her semi-final. A Kate Ryan is someone who is expected to do well but doesn't. Not someone who isn't expected to do very well and doesn't.

There was actually no shock non-qualifier.

I understand what is Kate Ryan,and I don't agree with you . I think that was expected to do well, but it wasn't

 

[Grinch]

Slovenia. Although after seeing her boring and unoriginal performance, it was not THAT shocking.

I think Ukraine has been one of the most hated songs this year actually

Eva had a bad and boring performance. It didn't surprise me that she didn't qualify. I really didn't like it and was hugely disappointed. Croatia was better and by a landslide!

By whom? This isn't something that's up to personal opinion. Nobody expected her to do well, neither the fans nor the bookmakers. The fact that maybe you did does not make her a Kate Ryan.

A Kate Ryan is hyped by the majority, not by a small minority. This year was pretty much devoid of Kate Ryans.

 

[Terence]

Well arguably Anggun could fit in that category - her song was never a favourite but as an artist she was hyped (like Jedward)...

One of the bad songs that ended where it deserved. Not even the French believed in the song's success.:?

 

[drhierbas]

It's shocking to see how badly some ppl wanted Loreen to fail

The person that mentioned Norway was really spot on! Congrats to you!

Hm I don't remember if it was here or in facebook but months ago I said that Tooji will end up like Haba Haba... 8)

Well, he didn't do nearly as badly, but it was bad nonetheless.
