You're going a lot against the odds here this time around
forre. Who's gonna give points to the borefests of the UK and France jut because they have some big names? Then again if you get it right chapeau to you. Turkey not making the top 10 would be a huge surprise for me, did you forget them or did you intentionally not include them?
Also, I can see that the Ukraine not only did make the final but it's the 6th favourite to win, it'll take the bloc voting to work overtime to get that garbage into the top 4 but it might just happen, there's always the odd one up there.
Greece is losing momentum, in Greece they don't even expect the song to make the top 5 now despite what they seem to be saying. Some would even say that
Norway is losing momentum too perhaps the song was overplayed and people got bored by it? I think Azerbaijan will do better than 8.
My personal favourite is Estonia, judging by the quality of the song and not the presentation which is not flashy enough.
PS. Maybe with the new voting system the UK and France will get a boost, with the old one they had no chance whatsoever. So they might make the top 10 but Top 3 is a big stretch.
