How accurate are these betting sites when it comes to ESC? I never followed it before.

Truth

Pretty accurate after the rehearsals, not so much before...

Not very accurate. I remember Estonia's Getter Jaani was in top 3, well she ended up 24th in final.

Yeah, Russia will probably win. Mess @ Croatia and Latvia being in the top 5 on oddschecker. France, Norway, Azerbaijan and Ukraine all have higher chances to win. The bookies...

It's my second favorite, after Hungary.

Glad we sent Frans Oscar was my favorite, but I prefer If I Were Sorry as our host entry.

This year is kinda tragic tbh. The only songs I'm playing on repeat are Italy, Hungary, Austria, Macedonia and Belarus There are a few more good ones but nothing that stands out massively (and nothing that's on Italy and Macedonia's level last year).

Inaccurate in years like this, pretty accurate in years with strong songs which isn't the case. For example, last year's top 3 was easily predictable.

woo and you tried to come for my taste

The odds won't be reliable as long as Azerbaijan isn't 1st and as long as the UK isn't among the last (it's 20th for heaven's sake)

Best Eurovision song ever.

Ironically, you can hear it again this year in Iceland's song. They're so similar in the chorus.

It'd be better if her voice wasn't so tragic Definitely one of Hungary's best though

My top 10:
1. Croatia
2. Italy
3. Norway
4. France
5. Iceland
6. Armenia
7. Australia
8. Macedonia
9. Russia
10. Serbia

Y'all better wait before including Italy in your list, inb4 the final version is an Albania-sized mess.

I think my current top 10 right now is
1. Latvia - Justs - Heartbeat
2. Sweden - Frans - If I Were Sorry
3. France - Amir - J'ai Cherché
4. Hungary - Freddie - Pioneer
5. Czech Republic - Gabriela Gunčíková- I Stand
6. Azerbaijan - Samra - Miracle
7. Serbia - Amy Winehouse Tribute Band - Goodbye
8. Denmark - Lighthouse X - Soldiers of Love
9. Estonia - Jüri Poostmann - Play
10. Australia - Dami Im - Sound of Silence
10. Russia - Sergey Lazarev - You Are the Only One

A few other countries are bubbling under top 10 to reach there but Sergey is too hot not to include in my top 10 Definitely the biggest disappointment of this ESC season.

Also I think this is the first time since 2004 I don't have Greece in my top and first time since they came back Italy is not here either.

Apparently she had 39 °C fever during the final, according to the Youtube comments, which is believable.

I don't really hear it.

They'll add one verse in English...

well at least hungary doesn't sound like every avicii single he put out recently

chorus actually
