my three favourite songs are Denmark, Austria and Lithuania. I don't think any of them will win unfortunately...
I really find the song and Ieva's voice special -- sweet and delicate! It's in a tough semi though.
If it's too soft for your tastes there's a nice remix available:

Ireland very slim chance to qualify, he has a great voice but the song and staging aren't great imo.
In today's 2nd rehearsal clip the staging doesn't look too bad. The focus is on Ryan and the dancers are more in the background. I really like the simple lamp post on the stage.
One of the ESC podcasts said Ireland's hot air balloon from last year is a running joke among the production crew this year. Supposedly caused lots of problems getting it on and off stage in the 30 seconds required to set-up.

Glad to hear that!In today's 2nd rehearsal clip the staging doesn't look too bad. The focus is on Ryan and the dancers are more in the background. I really like the simple lamp post on the stage.

Would be lovely to cheer Ireland on in final.
The balloon is literally the only memorable thing from Ireland entry last year.0 -

Confirmation from Netta herself that she's performing without a looper. She's visibly not happy about it.
I also pass similar questions where "it's his fault" to my manager for answering.

Come on Macedonia!
I have a flutter on couple top 10s
Poland 12-1
Macedonia 20-1
Azerbaijan 8-1
I meant to put a bet on Cyprus last week but left it too long so zero value now
Maybe add Croatia at around 16/1? I'm considering it.
From comments it seems that Macedonia's outfit above is what she's wearing during the 1st half of the song. She switches to that pink number in the 2nd.0 -

It's now almost impossible predict the winner this year. It would be nice to see Cyprus win for the first time (they've now replaced Portugal as the country with most entries and zero wins) but I'm not crazy about the song; it's what Salvador Sobral would call "fast food music"! I'm not too sure about Israel either, think they may end up like Italy did last year. I really hope Norway don't win; as great a performer as Rybak is, it's supposed to be a song contest, and the song is just...blergh.
I could actually see France or Italy winning it if the messages resonate on the night but they've been well-fancied before and flopped.
If it was up to me I'd give it to Portugal for a second year; "O Jardim" is a really beautiful song and has crept its way to the top of my list. Also fancy Austria to spring a challenge if the staging is done right. And the darkest of dark horses: Hungary. Metalcore winning Eurovision? Stranger things have happened! 0 -

France would be a worthy winner. Lots more chatter about them this year than previous ones. Everyone can remember basic French like "Merci" and the emotion in the song transcends language. Italy is a good song but just too Italian. That said Salvador won in a language I don't know at all. SO hard to pick this year like you said.
Portugal looked and sounded fantastic yesterday. Looking forward to the second rehearsal.0 -

Hardly anti-semitism, more politics. If some people refuse to vote for Russia then Israel certainly shouldn't be excluded.
I'd be relatively happy with most winners bar Israel and Norway. France is my number one but I just can't see it happening. I loved Estonia initially but admittedly I'm after getting a bit bored of it, but most will be hearing it for the first time on the night, so I'm not sure.
Eta: That's obviously in response to Oops69, not Homer.
I agree it would be pure politics. Something else is the tone of the song. Where other songs are about love, peace, etc. this one is very anti-men and negative. I feel bad about myself and all my brothers after a listen.0 -
