Default Re: Eurovision Song Contest

Having backed the last 3 winners on the trot I'll be back with a run down on this year's crop..or is that crap
Last year was a massive win with my selections Serbia and Ukraine 1 and 2.
Will put off my final selection until after the Semi's as the countries through can make a big difference to voting. If you want early advice Serbia just may land back to back wins ( hosts always collect better points) and Armenia look possible though no Euro history and remote geographically, out east of Turkey, so not sure of their ally votes.
Both around the 5's 6's mark.
I've backed Sweden E/W at 12's and advise that one now before the price tumbles especially if a few more Scandinavian entries make it through.
Of the other 2 market leader Russia and Ukraine. Russia's entry very similar to last years Belarus effort and they always get their share of political votes. Has to overcome the barrier that no solo male has won for donks ( I think it's around 8 years or so )
Ukraine again get their geographical votes but considering it's what I first thought would be a popular up beat poppy number it doesn't seem to have done well on virtually any country's Euro website polls...so I've taken that off my list.
