Really? I must be getting old.
Seriously now, I think that this year they really have a chance for the top 10.

It's the most competitive French entry for ages. I wouldn't mind it winning to be honest

Depends on the live performance but Lithuania could be a surprise, as well as San Marino.

I think Serbia, Latvia, Netherlands, Czech Republic, and possibly Belgium.
Absolute wild cards would be Malta, Lithuania, and Poland.

Previously I said that Iceland, Hungary, Cyprus and Ukraine were my dark horses, but I'd also like to add Serbia to that list now. Sanja is great live, and with good staging the song could really leave an impression. At this point, I'd probably rank the five as Ukraine > Hungary > Serbia > Iceland > Cyprus in terms of predictions. Latvia would be at the top of that, though, if we're including them as an outside chance now that they've drifted.

Is it just me, or is there a big separation this year between what "feels" hyped and what is hyped? I'm pretty cocksure that will do really well, but there actually isn't much hype around them (20s in the [kind of meaningless but still] odds and 0 so far at this [super early but still] juncture in the OGAE poll). and are kind of trend checklists, so I expect them to be far more well-received than we're thinking (but I'm wary of how the latter's signature vocal distortion will sound live). I think could all of a sudden enter contention to do solidly when rehearsals start, much as Cyprus did last year; I could see some viewers hearing it and thinking "ugh, FINALLY a good song." As always, the only truly predictable thing is that nothing's predictable, so this is all subject to change.
