Eurovision Song Contest 2021

If the Brits don't do well they won't be happy, they always talk about pulling out of it but then are back the next year.

Just listened to the full French song there, and it kinda gave me goosebumps. She sings it absolutely beautifully and it’s just so French. Her energy and they way she performs it is very endearing and captivating. Cute solo performers always do well at Eurovision. Up there as a possible winner for me. Having said that though, Ukraine is still my favourite song!

My top 3:

Ukraine
France
Italy

Bulgaria drifted out to 50/1. But I maintain they are a good each way bet, should get a good jury vote and pick up plenty of eastern European votes too.

Yep, I'm with you on that.

Very pleased so many people love the Slavic sounds of Ukraine. Expecting big scores for them tonight.

I just can’t get it out of my head, and I haven’t a clue what she’s saying so i’m just making up the words!!

Italy long overdue for a win and judging by the buzz I think Måneskin can pull it off.

Also probably the country with the greatest song to never win

I’m not sure who is going to win. It’d be nice to see a first time winner but I think Cyprus and Malta are drifting out a bit. I think Lithuania has a shot, I was really impressed in the semi final. I don’t get the love for Italy. France is my big 5 favourite but I’m not sure it’ll do well in the televote. I’d like to see Ukraine and Russia do well, really like the Russian staging.

I was very impressed with this version of Shum from the Wiwi jury from home show

Ukraine is definitely my favourite, I hope it does well

Techno-folk is such an often overlooked genre

If we had Irish juries, well guess what old and young dinosaurs be on those little insider panels...

The last decade we had juries we won five times and came second twice.

It can be done, if you keep the RTE hangers on out of it.

LET'S GO RUSSIA




OR FINLAND

OR BULGARIA

Yep, that’s the other song that’s been in my head. Not mad about their staging though and don’t think it’ll help their chances

Yep... been listening to some of their stuff on spotify but might be a bit too mellow to score big points in a show like this. Would like to see them live

Italy is my favourite, however my favourite song has never won it and I've been watching nearly 20 years now. Also like Ukraine, France and San Marino. Have bets on Malta to win and Switzerland each way

Budget Armin van Buuren?

Big pop for Lithuania.

Welsh Megaman

Oh right, Norway got through :pac:

I don't get the Norway song or singer at all.
It's like a bad Louis walsh boy band song.

Amik

No pop for Italy. Uh oh.
