The UK are 2nd favourites to win Eurovision 2022
 

Its the highest they have been in the betting since Blue 11 years back.

While the song or artist hasn't been revealed their are loads of rumours from London Grammer, Sam Ryder, Griff, Chelsee Grimes and Claudia Valentina with Sam Ryder being the strongest rumour after releasing a 3 min edited version of his new song Spaceman.

Sam is very famous on Social media after finding fame over lockdown for his singing videos on Tik Tok where he has over 15m followers

No we aren’t

Why are we still in the Eurovision

How are we 5th favourite if the people who actually vote for the winner haven't heard the song?

Bull. We'll never win ever again. Be a miracle if we ever got back on the left hand side of the score board tbh.

This is like 99% likely to be the entrant, it has had a revamp and cut some of it out to fit 3 mins

Sounds boring, definitely not a winner.

What don’t we learn about sending all these men on their own to Eurovision - even SuRie did better than last.

None of our former winners have been single men… just established bands and established women.

Nobody is expecting a winner straight off the bat, it takes progression and this is out best song in 13 years hence why since this song was all but confirmed our odds have shortened to 5rh favourite

It's got nothing to do with the singer being male more so that they have not had a male capable of giving a great performance something which Sam is fantastic at, you really need to check up is songs especially Tiny Riot

We sent Engelbert Humperdinck though :conf:

Betti g odds are (in large part) based on what people are betting on which doesn't necessarily reflect the likelihood of actually winning, especially when the voter pool and betting pool are different.

I.e. These odds are coming from the bets of the British public, who have a large component betting patriotically, but they have no actual sway over who will win, so the odds can skew in ways that are incongruent with the likely outcome.

Even Brits themselves don’t think they can even be top favourite , it has to be 5th

But we have never had odds this low since Blue in 2011, Odds show that people have some sort of faith for them to be betting on it

Englebert gave a great performance with a good song but the only issue is we sent a winning song 30-40 years to late

Yes that’s true

We also used to send well known artists in their prime and got high placing
e.g. Mary Hopkin, New Seekers, Cliff, Shadows, Lynsey De Paul etc come to mind

Our streak ended in 1978 when unsurprisingly we sent a totally new group no had ever heard of, ‘Co-Co’

Is always mixed, Total nobody Jade Ewan managed to get us 5th in 2009 and former ex factor contestant Lucie Jones got us our best result since then with 15th but on that time we sent Blue (who would have charted a lot higher if they actually performed the rehearsal properly) Bonnie Tyler who despite having a great voice used the worse song on her upcoming Album and Englbert who was decades way to late

Just read Ukraine are favourites to win Eurovision this year, sympathy votes

So if they win wheres that going to be held, the trenches ?

Wtf is 5 favourite :conf:

You eather favourite or you not

We’ve not got a chance whilst Ben Adams is in a yellow wolf outfit for Norway

That’s white supremacy

Everyone I know will be voting for Ukraine. It's just a party this year... No competition this time in my eyes.

no, then it'll likely go to a random drawn country


maybe Dusseldorf once more, given that one was also picked by a Australia back in 2016 when they were contenders to win with Dami


or maybe Glasgow or Aberdeen given that one got picked by EBU once before when Monaco had their win and they couldn't host due to not having a suitable venue

not going to bother getting fully interested into it this year


for sure how my main interests are going to American song contest


having looked through some of artists i didn't know before there, but all in all lots of talent what NBC have approached alongside Atlantic Records


and i can see Michael Bolton being a HUGE favourite for the housewives vote demographic, haven't heard his song yet of course, but based upon all his past work


imo for Riker Lynch with a lot of girls voting for him (also he has a song from the swedish team Jimmy Jansson, Andreas Carlsson and US rock composer Desmond Child)

Sam's voice is not my cup of tea, way too pitchy, even Elton John doesn't sing that high



also what is his song about, ''i'm up in space, man'' umm being high from drugs? :umm2:

Half of elton’s songs were about being high
