Dark horse of the final

[malta]

Finland should get top 10

 

[Smudy]

Montenegro and Switzerland.

Anything tomorrow could happen for Valentina. She can't be counted out. Penultimate performance of the evening and she has the only song of it's kind in the contest this year. The west probably won't be going crazy for Valentina but I can see everywhere else possibly voting for her song. Plus this is a historic moment. First micro state to ever reach the final. I'm sure this will be pointed out. Valentina could get a lot of goodwill points and I believe the way jury and public votes are combined will benefit Valentina. You'd think bottom 5 would be realistic but I say she can do better


Montenegro could go top 10 with such a solid, competent vocal and performance. Visually it was very appealing. Surely it's a jury magnet.

Malta will hopefully be on course for another brilliant result as well.



And just to point out... I said that Conchita could win with her song the day it was revealed

 

[Mrm]

Andorra, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Monaco!

I don't find second to last a good starting point for SMR tbh..

It's actually very bad slot! :?

Malta is a microstate. They've been getting in the final since 2004.

I hope that she'll do well, but I'm worried because indeed she's between The Netherlands (which is slow too) and the United Kingdom, plus it's a very late draw. However, I guess you're right, I can imagine her getting points from everywhere because they're in for the first time. Anyway, if her performance is as much moving than on Tuesday, that's what matters. Look at Rona, you could feel everything in her voice : she ended up 5th. Circumstances are different here but she has a chance to do well.

Yes, I believed in a top 5 for Rona and against all odds that is just what she got. As you say, the circumstances certainly are different here. Valentina doesn't have as unusual a composition as Rona had. "Maybe" undeniably is something that stepped straight out of another time period whereas "Suus" was timeless.. but Valentina's sincerity and raw emotion could/should be all that's need to touch people. I'm very excited to see what will happen and can't wait to vote for Valentina for the first time ever!

And i've been going around saying San Marino have made history. Gosh, embarrassing. I swear i've seen other people mention it which is the only reason why i've been saying itxsnooty

Well, even if Malta can be considered as a microstate, it's not fair to put it in the same category as San Marino, Monaco and Andorra

San Marino still mad history I guess. Almost nobody would have though a month ago that Valentina could make it, and she did. And I am so proud of her!

erm, i don't see san marino in bottom 5 :?
like seriously

i would say she could end up somewhere around 15th place.
better than that - maybeee but not at the very bottom either.
it is possible she doesn't get a single 12, 10 or even 8 but she really could collect a decent amount of those 1-6 pts

 

[Deleted member 8866]

I have to agree with Lak. Although I expresed my fear of her getting 0, I think she will end somewhere between 15 to 20 place. I think that's the most realistic prediction for her

 

[greece]

There are much more worse song in the final to get the bottom 5. I think that Val will be 13-17. She might get few 10 or 8 and who knows maybe and a as surprise (last year we didn't expect their 12). But she will probably gets more 6-3

 

[LakZaNokte]

There are much more worse song in the final to get the bottom 5.

definitely :?

it would be very unfair if she ends up in the very bottom, considering some truly lame entries :?

 

[Knubelznarm]

UK and Poland.

 

[JamieBrown]

and

will definitely make it to the Top 10 or even Top 5. could become a dark horse, because everyone thinks it will go last, so every place up to #15 will be a surprise for them

 

[tuorem]

I guess could very well, they have a great draw and they're between two rock-type songs.
Anyway, I wish them good luck.
