2021 Bold Predictions

[SwedishFailurez]

So 14th place?

I think he meant highest place since 2005 which is top 5 or higher.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

Not sure if this is really a bold prediction.....but there are so many uptempo "bop" songs this year I think a slower ballad song is going to win this year.

and a ballad winning previously isn't going to weigh on people as much as it might have otherwise because we had the gap year.

Alternatively I guess I could see a reality where people want something more uptempo or "cheerful" considering everything that's going on. I still think all the different bop songs are going to eat into each other somewhat.

Someone else, some other soul somewhere in Europe besides the Austrians of this forum, will actually be surprised by not making it to the final.

 

[tuorem]

Lemme give it a try:

Elena shampoos her hair on stage while surrounded by giant props resembling Moroccan oil products.
Natalia can actually sing and holds the last note long after the song ends, only to be cut off by the next postcard.
"Amen" misses out on qualification by one point to the advantage of "Karma".

Instead of the Moon is rising, The Sun is rising.

My Top Ten Half-Serious Double Bold Predictions

1. In a shocking result, Poland comes last in its semi-final, due to a disappointment of a live performance and as the Polish diaspora have to a considerable extent disowned this year's entry.

2. Uvu Suviste is indeed The Lucky One as Estonia becomes a borderline qualifier just on the right side of the qualification line.

3. One or more acts sing off-pitch or with the wrong timing and the result is very obvious and damaging as it is magnified by pre-recorded backing vocals which play the exact same way and cannot adapt in real-time.

4. During a semi-final show or the Grand Final, there is a pre-recorded or live interview with Flo Rida, as part of promoting the American Song Contest. Flo Rida either says he is seriously considering entering or declares 'I'll be there'.

5. The Australian delegation attempts to have their postcard filmed in Technicolour.
Their performance involves artistic use of camera filters and other visuals that sees their performance improve in a similar (but smaller) manner to Kate-Miller Heidke from 2019. Technicolour qualifies and ends up on the left-side on the scoreboard.

6. The Russian postcard features a surprise cameo by Little Big, who pose as they do at the start of Uno in a tiny house within another tiny house.

7. Moroccan Oil sponsors the performance of Cyprus, which has live product placement.

8. Due to a mix-up of notes, during an interview NikkiTutorials mixes up the two entries both called Amen. The artist interviewed finds the resulting interpretation deeply insightful and moving.

9. The ... folks ... that were first picked to represent Belarus refuse to change their lyrics or sing a different song despite Belarus declaring they will remain in the contest.

Belarus prefers to avoid recognising the existence of submissions which had far greater musical merit than what they picked. They announce the surprise replacement is Jedward, who agree to go because they see themselves as a clearly non-political choice (unlike the potential alternatives) and they wanted to return this year anyway.

10. Senhit continues her Freaky Trip to Rotterdam during the promotional period, culminating in Senhit Vision, where covers representing each of the current participating countries compete against each other in a digital duel. This is later widely viewed as playing a key role in San Marino winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 2021.

So now that we know all the songs I shall to this again.

Semi 1
Jury Top 3:
Televoting Top 3:

finishes last with less than 10 points
will be in the top 5 with the juries but outside the televoting top 10 - borderline qualifier
same here
and will be the other way around - strong with the public, rather weak with the juries
or will finish 11th in the Semi

Semi 2
Jury Top 3:
Televoting Top 3:

will be dead last
and will do well with the juries, not so much with the public. One of them will qualify.
will finish somewhere between 5th and 12th
comes closer to actually qualifying than a lot of people thought

Final
Top 5 in random order:
Bottom 5 in random order:

will win
will be last
won`t get a single point from the juries but 50+ from the public
will barely miss out of the bottom 5 finishing between 16th and 21st
