The Draw

[DanielLuis]

98% of the songs I like are in the first half The evening is gonna be quite boring towards the end for me

You and me both From the 2nd half I'm really only most excited to see Belgium, France, Romania and the UK!

We care about almost the same exact bunch of acts I'd exchange the UK for Bulgaria (for me), and that's it

Interesting with three favorites after each other, and

But I wonder if that will be bad for us

 

[DanielLuis]

I think the draw is great for Portugal. Coming after Italy and with a lot of big vocally focused/over the top performances around us to make the simplicity shine is very good.
The other big favourites in the second half being clumped together helps our case too (that Belgium-France string), especially with Bulgaria coming so late.

Other winners with this running order are, in my opinion, Armenia and the United Kingdom. Maybe Greece too.

Also, with that Belgium-France string, I think Sweden probably finished below 5th in the semi-final.

and had 25 and 27 in 2015 and that didn't hurt any of them so why should we get hurt?

They never put 3 countries that did top 3 in the semi-final in a row. So I would say that out of Belgium, Bulgaria and Sweden, at least one of them did not finish in the top 3 of the semi, and I think it's most likely Sweden.

Already forgotten 2013?

#20 won the semi
#21 came 2nd in the semi
#22 came 3rd in the semi

I guess it's a vs race afterall. And probably won the semi indeed!

 

[Charly]

Just face jt we're not going back to Sweden thank god (We can have a fresh new winner or old winner who last won decades ago)

 

[Alaska49]

the draw is good for all the bigger contenders. which they always are nowadays, i guess. no more safura-opening-the-show debacles.

If you would have read my posts better, you would have known by now that I have NEVER spoked anytime about us winning this year, I hope for a top 10 placing

Wow, that's very sweet of the EBU to offer me an 8 song toilet break. They must know my lil stomach gets bad during Eurovision. I can return just in time to see France close the show

Portugal and Italy's draws look as good as can be, Norway's as well. They're the only thee entries I truly care about in this final, so yay!

What about poor Anja?

 

[RainyWoods]

What about poor Anja?

Oh yes, she just got squashed by Salvador.... rip1




I actually forgot her I'll be voting for Denmark though. I can't miss the one chance i've got to say "I supported Denmark"

I know right? That is the exact thought that comes trough my mind everytime I listen to "Where I am"! I never thought I would actually like a Danish entry

I think the draw for Greece is good...

 

[DanielLuis]

I think the draw for Greece is good...

I think so too, it will probably help Greece's televote in the final.

 

[Jim]

Yes, I think that too!

 

[QwaarJet]

I think so too, it will probably help Greece's televote in the final.

Won't make much of a difference. Will maybe help a couple of spots, but Greece are probably going to struggle, and judging by where they are in the running order, they likely didn't do well in the semi either.
