We've seen the rehearsal tho. There is a video a few pages ago. Maybe you should see it.
As I said if the televoting winner is not the overall winner it will be very anti-climatic and it is a big possibility this year.
It would still be exciting, though, at least in my opinion. It worked well in Melfest. But I guess each to his own! I found the previous voting to be too long and boring, but that's just me!
Ukraine wins. Out of all the favourites she's definitely the best (haven't heard Amir tho)
Gabriela and Poli do fairly well. I need both of them to get into the bottom half of the top 10 since the top 5 will 95% be France, Russia, Ukraine, Armenia, Australia
I'd personally want Armenia in the bottom half of the top 10 tho. The song is amazing for the first minute and then it becomes completely basic
Hovi should also get a nice place. His voice is amazing. Same for Freddie. Top 15 at best tho.
I don't want Sergey to win. A no for sure, even tho his visuals are on point.
I've always appreciated Dami and she's a brilliant singer, but I just don't feel SOS. There are many better songs
I don't think Zoe deserves to go top 10. The song is cute, but way way way way way way way way way way way way waywaywayway too happy. Same for Samra.
Also I need obvious trash to snatch the last places ofc
But I think Russia will dominate the televoting (It's doing great on iTunes / streaming in the east & west.) - but some juries might be mean.
I honestly believe that people won't vote for Russia because of the situation there (at least the real hardcore Eurovision fans). Also, the juries won't award a copy from last years winners performance with a nasal voice and a mediocre song.
All the pettyness in this thread. The new voting system was used in the melfest final and it was exciting eventhough we already knew who'd win. Don't bash it before you've seen it in action!

Because in Melfest there are 12 songs in the final and the televoting winner has been the overall winner since 2014, just look at the 2013 results video and see how awkward that is.
Most people are watching ESC for the voting part and they just took all the fun out of it, with announcing only the 12 points then this let's announce the televotes separately part. The way the votes were presented did not need fixing tbh.
i really want australia, czech republic or georgie to win... georgia would be the best, cause they seem so humble and it would be the biggest surprise...
is there someone from georgie who could tell me if they are famous there?
They have the best-selling single of the year in 2004 with 30k copies sold there, they aren't unknown for sure.
Russia is probably not winning, they'll be high but they're still affected by the situation there for sure.
I think Dami should've kept her Xtina moments until the last chorus, we only get to hear the chorus sung by her once with all the ad-libs and I feel like it could hurt her a bit though her voice is amazing
Re-watching it now and there were less ad-libs in the 2nd chorus than I remembered, she's fine then
I feel that Ukraine coming later will hurt Russia a lot. Why would people want to vote for the country that is suppressing so many Ukrainians, even if they don't like 1944 they can surely feel Jamala's pain
Fair enough. Didn't think of that, actually. Hoping it'll end up exciting anyway!

I do like the televotes by themeselves because I feel like a lot can happen there. But I understand that it can get awkward too.

YES! Exactly what I thought in the S2. At first I thought she was nervous and forgot the song had a second verse.
Not suspicious at all.

Her background singers are on point.
Oh well, at least she has the best song!
