Often, you can't really call the winner in March or April. There is no Euro Jury this year either so everyone will be in the dark until the rehearsals start.
Nemo's staging was successful for the televote due to their smiley friendly charismatic storytelling singing directly to the camera. It was so dynamic the way they ran around the stage and it made it epic with the melody/instrumental. You have to connect to a performer to want to vote for them...
How is Rim Tim Tagi Dim a joke? It's about the real anxiety of becoming an independent adult and leaving home even if you love it there. Everyone knows you miss your pets the most.
