Gwendolyn Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 11 minutes ago, KillingYourCareer said: No idea why Spanish fans are so delulu that they're winning. They're heading for possibly their best result in 20 years, and I love Chanel, but it's not something that can come close to winning either vote. I think 4th-7th is likely for them. Sweden is more jury bait, but then again, nothing about that (very industry plant'd) act stands out enough to win. I genuinely think the UK will be 2nd, with Ukraine as the winner and a televote score around 400 that can't be trumped. I also think Moldova is coming for a brilliant televote score due to them being the only uptempo between 13 and 23 in the running order. Fingers crossed for a great result for Serbia as well, my favorite! This summarised what I've been thinking. I love Chanel but the way Europe has tanked all the pop girls this year tells me she isn't going to be top 5 - I would love to be proven wrong though.

She has no competition for girl bops, so all the Fuego'd gays can only vote for her and no one else. She elevates an ass song to high heavens with a perfect performance... but I don't see how this could get a stellar jury position. From the semis, it's pretty clear juries are creaming themselves over ballads this year, and there's 15 of those in the final so some jury votes might not give any points to uptempos at all (I'm #Team100%Televote) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Bracho Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Sirusho (Qele Qele-2008) just gave an interview and said: "Ukraine's song is good & it'd deserve to win. But if it's all about the war, Armenia had a war too last year. Is the winning chance for Armenia the same as for Ukraine?" Spill the tea Sirusho. Another political win for the same country!

Lil Mxnster Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 What's the point in Ukraine winning Eurovision? The World is on its side. Western countries showed solidarity with Ukraine sending money, weapons, food and humanitarian resources. Stefania isn't bad at all. There're worse candidates but, honestly, is it necessary to make Ukraine winner of a song festival as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rih Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Sweden will pull another Lisbon 2018 (Benjamin Ingrosso). Great points from the jury (which were deserved with Dance You Off, not at all this time around) and then an embarassing bomb with televote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The girlies have been hyping Greece as the superior ballad but the streams say otherwise with the public and I have a feeling one of them might get massively overshadowed by the other one. It will depend. If juries are mainly composers or people that focus on the innovation and vocal performance while still being able to integrate it in a Radio Friendly song, Greece will hands down win their vote. Amanda is very Lorde like and can be a good bet for an Eurovision act that can have a brilliant future in music (check her other songs!!). And don't get thrown by streams... Most of them are domestic and people can't vote for their own country. But I'm afraid juries will prefer a more conventional, same old ballad like Sweden. I like the song and I stream it but not when you have so many other great options and countries that actually took successful risks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatsmydemi Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Y'all really don't understand because you haven't felt the frustration of being a Spanish eurofan. It's not that we expect Chanel to win (some do, others are more reasonable). It's just that after so many years of treating Eurovision like **** (I'm talking about how Spain has treated Eurovision), we've finally sent something that seems worth it, something that is shaping up to place inside the top 20 after so many years of sending trash after trash. When I tell you I haven't seen Spanish eurofans this excited in almost a decade of following the festival Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komet Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I actually worry WRS might come last He's #2, I can't see jury putting it in their top 10, and the public will have big televote-bait entries later on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was saved by the televotes, the jury on the other hand will go IN on him (wasn't he a former dancer?) Given he'll perform second tonight the GP will forget all about him. At least Switzerland and even Germany might get a little something from the jury instead. Edited May 14, 2022 by Beautiful Garbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZIVERT Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Imagine the frustration that Spanish and British Eurovision fans feel, and multiply it by 100 because you have nothing else positive to look forward to in your life outside of Eurovision - that’s how Ukrainian Eurovision fans feel. This sob story All countries have a reason to be proud of their entry, and realistically they all would deserve their win.
