For me , I don't dislike either of those songs. I liked Ut av morket , Fallen angel is ok.I mean why do so many people dislike those songs, in Finland everyone i've showed Tusse to loved it, and TIX is my fav
She resembles to Edith Piaf.
I do think even Finland is in with a great shot !Since this thread is about personal winners, my top 5 would be:
The most possible of winners (of my wishes) would be probably or .
A surprise winner would be fantastic (like maybe a landside televote winner Italy). And please hopefully not .
I find it likely to NQ.I'm surprised at no votes for Romania , certain YouTube simulations showed it to be quite an early favourite
Possibly if they land a landslide victory in the televote!I do think even Finland is in with a great shot !
If she pulls off a cherry cherry red , I sing like I'm deadI find it likely to NQ.
Never agreed more with anyone else.The most likely winner I can see at the moment is . The only downside is that it is a male piano-ballad, and already the comparisons with Arcade abound. I do not think this is fair, as the songs are actually more different than they are alike. While it is true that we never have a winner in the same style as the previous one, we must also remember that we had a gap year, which has never happened before, and we don't know what the effect of this will be, but it may just clear the way for Tout l'univers.
I am also expecting to do very well with juries (very likely the jury winner), but also to place very high with the televote; while I am struggling to find another entry with the same possible appeal to both.
will all do very well with the televote, and are possible televote winners, but will do less well with juries, and the same goes for all the other female dance tracks / bops like etc.
Conversely and I expect to be jury darlings, but not exactly so popular with the televote.
The only other entries that I can think of which may possibly appeal to both jury and televote are and
seems to be more popular than I expected, and it may actually be a contender, but I am a bit worried with the history of rock in ESC, and in this case quite a few people may find it too "noisy".
is not a true rock entry (rather a hard pop), and in fact some people are complaining that it is a sell-out rock entry; but this does in fact make it more approachable, and gives it a much broader appeal, when compared to the (more authentic) grittiness of the Italian entry. It should do extremely well with the televote, and with the exactly right circumstances also has chances to be accepted and rewarded by the juries, so it may in fact be a dark horse.
I do not consider and to be contenders at all, for various reasons which I am not going to elaborate on here.
tldr: is my predicted winner, with as a possible dark horse to watch out for.
Which is my biggest turn-off for that entry and I'm sure for others too. She tries too much to emulate Edith instead of trying to stand on her own.
If people really want a quality French act to win it should be tbh
She don't stand on her own ?? She didn't need a group of composers to compose a genric balad, which in final is just a french version of Arcade. Barbara wrote and composed her song, a song about herself and a song where the emotion are real and not faked like try to do do with his zero emotion face's and his ugly high notes .
Malta there got 10 votes in the first 150 voters but 12 in the next 100. On the Eurovisionworld poll Malta is comfortably in the lead by over 400 votes.They've started a similar poll on the main site and there Italy , France and Switzerland are neck and neck. Malta isn't particularly close there , unlike here. The number of voters there are more though, I guess but mostly from UK .
in my opinium these votes are mostly worthless because only ESC-bubblevotes.Malta there got 10 votes in the first 150 voters but 12 in the next 100. On the Eurovisionworld poll Malta is comfortably in the lead by over 400 votes.
Wiwibloggs polls are tweeted by the artists and it skews results(Greece/Croatia ) , I've not seen any artist tweet or use social media for the ESCunited poll . None can give us an exact result as in May , but I guess this one could be closer than say Wiwibloggs hijacked pollsin my opinium these votes are mostly worthless because only ESC-bubblevotes.
good example here also the wiwipolls - very often far away friom the results.
