/esc/ - Eurovision Song Contest

But Jow Forums is all about how size DOES matter.

I think they can. The big question mark with cyprus and Israel is their ability to get jury support. There are signs that Ireland did well with the televote in their semi and they should do well with juries. They could be a compromise winner (like Ukraine 2016) where they don't win the jury or televote but do well enough in both to come out top.

that male dancer is pretty hot desu
what is his name?

Have this feeling we might win

is he popular in russia?

Put Bulgaria as Jow Forums and Russia as /m/

I genuinely felt bad for Julia. Russia should just leave the whole competition like Turkey, they can't help but bring politics and retarded blockvoting into ESC.

He participated in several dance tv shows, but I never heard of him before

But unlike Russia, Turkey was actually fun to have in Eurovision.

Great song. Should have won that year instead of that annoying slag Lena.

Christ, it is third now.

It's quite puzzling how it managed to jump so high and so quickly. I think insiders who know the results of the semi are placing bets on it...maybe it even won the first semi final.

The retard is his gf, he's no incel.

It did. it came 16th in the final, but it definitely should have been in the top 10.

I'd be okay with either Cyprus or Ireland winning. Just keep the chicken meme song the fuck away.

Is Rybak a rapist? He constantly flirts creepily with women and kissed Lena aswell without her consent. His songs are about him stalking women.

The LGBT community is supporting it in the televote. They're more likely to spend their money on this because of its "message". As for the jury, I wouldn't be so sure, but then again Ireland used to win contests with this kind of songs back in the jury only days.

The jury might rate it pretty well. Musically it's not completely terrible, unlike many other competitors.

Apparently he's an actual cunt in real life, and not the charming nice guy you see on stage.

will the micks actually win?

bookmakers have so far been very inconsistent though except on the number 1

That's really bizarre. I think it could have won its semi.

Be honest, which one of you advertised us on Jow Forumseurovision?

The homo gimmick. If they didn't have the dancers, it wouldn't have gotten out of the semi.

Apparently our entry is doing the best in the iTunes charts (who still uses iTunes lmao?) Maybe we could win?

If it did, it didn't win the televote. I am almost certain that cyprus won the televote, considering that it is miles ahead of the other songs in terms of downloads.

What happened with Ireland is that it was given a favorable slot in the final. Combined with the fact that the song performed very strong in terms of downloads after it's semi. This made people come to the conclusion that it probably didn't scrape through it's semi. People now think that it might have captured a moment like Netherlands and Austria 2014.

If Ireland are to win, they will need to win the jury, and probably convincingly. israel and ireland will likely sweep up the televote. In 2015 and 2016 the winners of the televote finished third overall, so Ireland could do it.

In that case, I can't see Ireland winning the jury vote. I'm confident it will be either Sweden or Australia. Juries seem to love those two unconditionally ever year for some reason.

I meant to say Israel and cyprus will sweep the televote. Ireland will probably need third in the televote to win

I feel pretty bad for her. Especially because they boo’d her. She doesnt deserve this hate.

Sweden will be top 3 with the juries. The song is too hollow for it to be higher. genuinely think that ireland has a plum draw, not just becasue it's late but because it's between two upbeat numbers that will make it stand out well.

Step one: believe in it. Sing it all day long!

Who knows. I don't remember it being this open and unpredictable. Anyone in the top 10 in the odds can feasibly win at this point 2bh.

except for germany

Yeah, Germany seems too high. I think Bulgaria and Czechia have better chances than Germany.

Bulgaria are not contenders. There has been a bot that has been artificially inflating their odds for months. The Czech republic is not strong enough with the public to take it home. If it were on track for victory it's downloads would be stonger

His song is just too weak. The appeal of rybak at the start of this season was seeing him unexpectedly elevate a pretty rubbish song with his charisma and charm. Now that his charisma and charm is expected, the low quality of the song is more obvious.

The ballads this year will do very well since there are like 4 of them while the rest of them are uptempo songs which will share votes

Ireland is a slow song in a second half full of uptempo bangers. It will stand out a lot.

Who do you see as being likely to win?

Yeah, I think the pop vote will be split between Cyprus, Israel, which might allow Ireland or France or Estonia to come through and win.

But why we should leave competition, anonski?

meh, better than fast-food garbage music. At least he's not pretending

This song is literally the fastest food there is. Its one of the mcdonalds cheeseburgers that they always have ready and throw out if its not bought within 15 minutes.

They did that?

And at least he's not stealing either

youtube.com/watch?v=RbtPXFlZlHg
youtube.com/watch?v=k6_oxE2MxZE

Meh, its similar but far from a copy.

He wrote the song after getting fan mail from children asking him how to become successful. It's kind of cute in that way.

Cyprus at the moment are the most likely. I foresee a monster televote (350+). However I'm unconvinced how juries will treat it. At the moment I really do think Ireland is the most likely challenger. It's reminding me of the netherlands in 2014- a slow, atmospheric song that was thought to have no hope that created an incredible atmosphere through it's staging and built up huge momentum, finishing 2nd. If Ireland can win the jury (the netherlands counldn't as it was up against conchita) it really does have a shot. But it needs to smash the jury. it will need a score similar to salvador last year (370+).

>Russian state TV is still lying through its teeth, claiming she "captured the hearts of the audience"
>also state TV: Eurovision is shit, so it's not like we wanted to win anyway
>Russian jury member whines Yulia failed to qualify because of "unfair conditions"
The sourest of grapes.

Thing is, Lithuania's song is quite similar to Ireland in that regard, so that might split the juries.

Russia normally sends fairly decent songs.

Why do all of you care about this bullshit?

>Yulia failed to qualify because of "unfair conditions"
So basically they should have broke other participants legs

Attached: IMG_0805.jpg (570x881, 60K)

I don't think so. Lithuania is 4th in the running. Ireland is 24th. Also Lithuania is at the start of a slow first half, while Ireland near the end of a very upbeat second. Ireland will stand out in a huge way that lithuania won't.

Because our lives suck and it works as a distraction from the pain

Funny because even the russian comments on her performance is very negative

Why did we qualify?
Why do people say we will take 4th/5th place?
Why didn't Latvia qualify?

You qualified because your song was nice and you had the UK, Ireland and Estonia voting in your semi who will all have given you 12 points.

Also, I voted for you because the lithuanian girl is a qt but also trad.

On her Youtube video, yeah. Twitter reactions are split, with one half saying the performance was crap and the other crying about muh russophobia and how Eurovision is unworthy of the mighty Russian talent.

spain will win because muh diversity

Cyprus' is catchy, but somehow I can't see it winning. It's very generic, in my opinion at least.

This year is very tough in general, there's probably going to be quite even point spread. Israel stands out, but the live performance was a disappointment. But I prefer it this way, it's really boring when you can tell who's going to win from the start (like when Loreen won, it was no competition).

cyprus won't win, they are a poor shithole and their biggest indoor stadium has 6k capacity kek

also they hate gays
