He should go to Eurovision.

[TwentyOneThrones]

Gutted Poland didnt qualify, but I'm pretty happy with the rest of the qualifiers!

The final running order...

01 Malta Michela "Chameleon"
02 Albania Jonida Maliqi "Ktheju tokës"
03 Czech Republic Lake Malawi "Friend of a Friend"
04 Germany S!sters "Sister"
05 Russia Sergey Lazarev "Scream"
06 Denmark Leonora "Love Is Forever"
07 San Marino Serhat "Say Na Na Na"
08 North Macedonia Tamara Todevska "Proud"
09 Sweden John Lundvik "Too Late for Love"
10 Slovenia Zala Kralj & Gašper Šantl "Sebi"
11 Cyprus Tamta "Replay"
12 Netherlands Duncan Laurence "Arcade"
13 Greece Katerine Duska "Better Love"
14 Israel Kobi Marimi "Home"
15 Norway KEiiNO "Spirit in the Sky"
16 United Kingdom Michael Rice "Bigger than Us"
17 Iceland Hatari "Hatriđ mun sigra"
18 Estonia Victor Crone "Storm"
19 Belarus ZENA "Like It"
20 Azerbaijan Chingiz "Truth"
21 France Bilal Hassani "Roi"
22 Italy Mahmood "Soldi"
23 Serbia Nevena Božović "Kruna" (Круна)
24 Switzerland Luca Hänni "She Got Me"
25 Australia Kate Miller-Heidke "Zero Gravity"
26 Spain Miki "La Venda"

16th is a good place in the show, but we're sandwiched right between Norway (one of the best songs) and Iceland (the most unforgettable one), so we're probably screwed.

[Shaun]

On our iTunes chart (usually a good indicator of what will do well) we have:

#46 - Norway
#47 - UK (obviously)
#83 - Azerbaijan
#109 - Switzerland
#123 - Netherlands
#140 - Sweden

I imagine there were a couple on Tuesday that entered and quickly left, but will be interesting to see what happens on Sunday's chart. Norway's being above even our own, and having a solid placement, is surely a good sign for Oslo 2020

[Headie]

I feel like Italy or Switzerland is gonna snatch it, with alot of the pre-contest faves being in the first half (and not really wowing in their actual performances compared to their pre-hype) it's anyones game. Azerbaijan are in with a good shot too, I think the odds are way too fixated on Netherlands pre-hype.

Anyway I'm so glad this year has been full of bops and not dull ballads This is how Eurovision should be <3 Can a bop win every year pls!

Yeah last night really solidified this as a ‘strong’ Eurovision year<3 So much bops and great songs! am so happy for north macedonia since they haven’t qualified since 2012 & michela’s reaction omg I nearly cried poland & romania were really robbed tho australia has been my number 1 since day dot and I would LOVE it to win and im so so happy she snapped and has gained support

[Shaun]

In order of their odds...

---- (10/1 or better) ----
1) Netherlands
2) Australia
3) Sweden
---- (20/1 or better) ----
4) Switzerland
5) Azerbaijan
6) Italy
7) Iceland
8) Russia
---- (100/1 or better) ----
9) France
10) Norway
11) Malta
---- (100/1 or worse) ----
12) Spain

24) Albania
25) Germany
26) Israel

[Shaun]

I think the bottom 2 are pretty accurate but Albania will climb a couple higher than 3rd-bottom.

I don't see France doing as well as this predicts; the song's a bit naff, it's surrounded by strong contenders and Bilal is waaaaaaay too progressive/diverse for most of Europe voting. I'm worried Norway and Malta will struggle, too - especially with Malta performing first.

The only ones I see doing much better than their odds would suggest are Serbia, Greece and North Macedonia.

I actually quite like it, but I think Norway or Sweden will win it. Norway is brilliant!

You ruin everything.

46% winning chance for Netherlands NOW

queen has arrived in Israel for eurovision performances

[Headie]

I just really don't see Netherlands winning, or at least can't understand why it's such a massive favourite. It's on in the first half, doesn't get stuck in your head after first listen like "friend of a friend" or "dirty dancing" or "chameleon" does, but then it's not stripped back enough to be a "wow" moment like Portugal's win was.

I think Switzerland are gonna be dark horses tomorrow. Will be fresh in the voters minds performing in the last few slots and has that kind of tune that gets stuck in your head. Australia will do well too for the same reasons.

I'm rooting for (in no particular order) Azerbaijan, Switzerland, Australia, Sweden, Malta, Cyprus, Italy, France, Czech Republic or Spain to win it for me personally.

Totally agree, if the betting odds only opened when rehearsals started they’d be in the dizzy heights of the 20’s/30’s and might struggle to qualify but there relying on the hype of the video (when in fact I found it dull and overrated sorry), France & Australia give me massive winner vibes! I’m rooting for Australia, Malta, Cyprus, Switzerland, France, Belarus & North Macedonia tomorrow.

The problem is Hayden Netherlands is one of the few ballads in the entire competition where there are many bops so it will get a lot of televotes
