Balkans aint no winning this year.



Scandinavia or Russia. Or something behind Russia like Azers.

But I would love to see BIg5 country winning. Rooting for France or Spain (SAYYAYAYAYAYAY)

Michaela will win

The only song I can realistically see winning right now is Russia, but at the same time I really can't see them winning It's weird. I think we'll have another 2014 situation where a contender emerges from the rehearsals.

[UNNAMI]

The race is open, whole game will start after rehearsals and the vocals, the visuals and whole performance will be main factor this year.

[ivi]

This year is going to be boring as **** ... Just let the ESC 2017 begin. In Iceland.

I've worked on the Bulgarian song "If Love Was A Crime" and it's coming out next Monday. Very different from Poli's previous attempt in the contest - much more dance and pop. We tried to make it sound very powerful and anthemic. The lyrics can be interpreted in many different ways but I guess they'll mostly get the LGBT interpretation since that's the target audience. My personal favorite moment is the bridge of the song which repeats after the last chorus.

Bulgaria is coming for blood with that gay-friendly dance bop.

Preference or guess?

In semi 1, I think Moldova is definitely a shoe-in for #2 (especially seeing as that half has plenty of uptempo songs to choose from). Hungary #1 is an interesting choice, I would've given it to Finland.

Is Malta going to be uptempo? I think that order makes a lot of sense tbh (Croatia/The NL/Montenegro is great for NL)... They might put Czech Republic earlier than second to last though (wouldn't surprise me if it was around Bosnia's position).

As for semi 2, I really hope Macedonia will be as late as possible. Queen does not deserve another #2 Imo, Switzerland might actually be a contender for #2. Very anonymous song.

[ivi]

hm just a guess trying to think with the producers logic. i guess you have to think about the tempo, female/male and staging in the end which we don't know about.

no idea about malta, i just put it last cause i dont know what it wil lbe hahaha.

i stressed a bit with the list cause i was thinking they might announce it today haha. yeah looking back now siwtzerland would work better on 2nd spot, especially now that i've realized it would be 3 males in a row.

finland could work as the opening but i think they might want to give it a better chance so push it towards the end. russia as the opening song would be very interesting.

[ivi]

wiwibloggs heard malta's song:

"Just left Malta's PBS after exclusive viewing of @iralosco's Walk on Water vid. It's AMAZING. Reaction coming soon! "

[igninton]

OMG Poli is returning? YASSSS

I still get my life from Na Inat.

[ivi]

na inat was so good tbh

but it was always hard to qualify with that kind of song. love her voice.

[killer_rose]

I hope you guys get your life from "If Love was a Crime" as well. Just don't expect Na Inat 2.0.
