    My favourites:

    Croatia

    Ukraine

    France

    Switzerland

    Netherlands

    Hope Ireland does really well but it’s not really my taste.
    Note: showing the recap of Bambi - why show the screaming part once again?

    Graham Norton crying out for people to vote for the UK, I wouldn't be surprised to see it get nothing.

    The English just copied the I love Willies song from Gay, a gay musical on the IT crowd.

    Ireland reminds me of the Finland entry a few years ago when they were like orcs from lord of the rings. They went on to win it, but I don’t think Ireland can win. Unless she has threatened to turn the voters into newts if they don’t award her the douze points!!

    They could have picked a nicer 5 second segment from the Irish song than just thug bambie screaming at the end.

    For me:

    1. Croatia

    2. Ukraine

    3. Armenia

    4. Estonia

    5. France

    6. Italy

    7. Norway

    Don't expect it to finish up like that, though. I hope Bambi finishes top 10 even if it's not my cup of tea.

    Just from the recap,

    Sweden Ukraine Ireland Cyprus Croatia France

    Israel didn't stand out from the clip but I'd say it has a good chance

    I reckon Panti’s watching on the sly - close the bar early, then head down to the basement with a pocket TV.

    Loads of the clips are the worst part of the tunes for loads of countries!

    The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.

    The Entryism process: 1) Demand access; 2) Demand accommodation; 3) Demand a seat at the table; 4) Demand to run the table; 5) Demand to run the institution; 6) Run the institution to produce more activists and policy until they run it into the ground.

    If it was in any way fair taking song and performance, I think France is streets ahead. But it doesn't work like that 😭

    it will be France as winner IMO, a charismatic, polished, and well trained singer

    Ireland will be up there as a novelty act, people either love it or hate it.

    Latvia will get votes.

    Finland will get votes.

    Armenia will get votes for its jolly vibe

    Croatia will gets votes

    Switzerland will get votes

    Let’s see how it pans out - I closed by betting account.

    Having heard all the songs, I think the top 3 will be:

    1. Croatia
    2. Switzerland
    3. Estonia

    Croatia are odds on favourites at 8/13, Switzerland are 4/1 and Estonia are way down at 325/1.
