You can tell by some of the entries this year that some countries just don’t give a tit. Netherlands is catchy but the juries will trash it, Sweden aren’t bothered about hosting next year so have submitted the ironically very forgettable ‘Unforgettable’.

Our entry I think is decent and Olly Alexander is a solid choice. I predict a respectable result, mid board. Israel will (rightly or wrongly) soak up all the hate we normally get.

Denmark's entry has grown on me a lot in the last couple of weeks (in the ballad section of Eurovision ;) ) but I do love the Netherlands...

Everyone in Croatia is hyped almost as when football world cup is 😅
 
I'm getting rather excited for it, and am looking forward to hopefully have the watchparty here with you ❤ As sad as it might sound to some, having done this the past couple of years with you is one of the most fun evenings each year.


(And yeah, Germany will likely get zero points. Poor guy, the song isn't even bad).

Germany reminds me of James Newman (only better - no giant trumpets!). I hope everyone in the final gets at least a point, I don't like it when they get zero. It always gets phrased that "nobody voted for them" which is never true.

Germany will absolutely get zero points. And then we’ll have the same discussion as every year about leaving the contest etc. I don’t know why not; Italy stopped sending entires for 12 years despite being among the Big 5 countries. Sitting it out for a few years might not be a bad idea tbh.
 
I've said it so many times... everyone should go through the semi finals (OK not last years winners), that way all the acts in the final have already proven themselves to some degree. The UK (as an example) don't really learn what it takes to be popular, Sam Ryder was a very fortunate fluke in a 20 year run of mediocracy. A long run of not qualifying might make us up our game.
 
What's people's opinions on Australias entry I'm a bit disappointed was quite excited for electric fields to do it feel like alongside voyager they've wanted to do it since they started taking part but their song feels really underwhelming to say it's different from all the others they don't seem to have thrown themselves in it like voager did

Yeah, agree, although I'm also sure that we're at a point where Germany gets zero points bascially for the joke of it and not because the act is genuinely the worst one. Yes, some years we've sent bad acts but often, objectively, the song and the performance wasn't that terrible. Sitting it out, and going through semifinals could fix this.
