We all have a second-half draw bar Spain (who have no chance anyway, lol)

Hopefully we don't get a death slot again. Somewhere around 19th will do nicely ta.

After some time since I last heard the songs, my definite top 5 of this year are: Austria, Italy, Iceland, Azerbaijan & Switzerland. I do like Norway too but I haven't heard it in a while

[Black Dagger]

Spain is 2nd half as well lol. He will close.

yes but before that he was on x factor italy, he entered in 3rd liveshow as wildcard, but got eliminated sadly with a wrong song choice

he won sanremo based on Jury votes alone, more because he was one of new artists up against the far more experienced, more fanbase artists but weaker songs

I hope Italy or Netherlands dont win tbh, We need a Cyprus or Iceland win to bring the contest to somewhere new
