Right on I like those options. For me I have the Netherlands, Sweden, and France. I just watched Claude do Cest la vie live on Eva and I really enjoyed the sincerity of it. It really helped to elevate it.

I think we will see Slovenia, Serbia and maybe Croatia qualifying

Yes, I can see Mila qualifying. Also Croatia could be a shock Q if the staging is upgraded considerably.

Oh for sure I actually really like listening to the studio version but he will definitely need to upgrade the staging and his performance. I’d love to see it do well.

We wont have shock qualifiers this year. This year is very onesided. I think
is one of those I have been on the fence about. I can see it qualifying but I can also see it getting no love as well. I love , it’s one of my favorites to just listen to.

I'm quite worried about Latvia. I like it, i feel it may be too niche for many viewers and could easily NQ

That was my first instinct about it too. I never quite felt like it was going to make it because of it being so niche but I also feel like that is it's strength at the same time. Given that it is in semi 2 which is arguably weaker, I can see a world where it gets through to the final.

Also the national final performance was really nicely staged and the girls can sing. If they can recreate that in Basel, they've a fighting chance of a Q

My thoughts too. To me, this is a breath of fresh air to listen to.

Who is this year's Kaarija or Baby Lasagna?
Big party songs with likeable characters that garner huge popularity before the contest and storm the televote?
Is there going to be one?

Although it's not a party song I can see Sweden storming the televote but not winning.

Sweden was also my choice here but for the sake of parity I could also see Australia here depending on the staging and Go-Jo’s performance

None of the songs will have that impact. Yes, we will have a televote winner but not with huge numbers like Kaarija or Baby Lasagna. It depends how many televotes will get Ukraine and Israel, both of them can drag many votes.
I also think that the bubble is underestimating someone ( Italy Ukraine Portugal ) and overhyping others ( Belgium Malta and San Marino ). For sure we'll have some shocking non qualifiers like almost everyear.

Although I had eurovision memories, 2003 was also my first eurovision!! OMG!
aah, Portugal is actually one of my favourite countries in the world. Just love how beautiful, chilled, and progressive Portugal is. Plus having one of the most successful Eurovision winners in points history.

Agree Italy and Ukraine are being slept on. There isn't much love for them in the fandom. I think these will do much better with the casual viewers than the fandom. I expect both to be top 10, nearer to top 5.
I think Malta and Finland will both underperform versus the fandom's expectations

Agree with you on Malta and Finland. I think Ukraine will finish top 10 guaranteed. Possibly even top 5

I also have the feeling that Albania will not reach the result most of us would love. SH. E is very up in most of bubble's rankings, with the exception of the odds, but I fear it would hardly get top 10.
And to my opinion there are a bunch of songs floating around top 15 up to 36 that in the final could be lower ( Greece Czech Republic Netherlands Germany)
