Growers (not on me but because it's a "technical grower")
Faders (same as growers)
(unfortunately)
So growers will benifit from the viewers of SFs for the final but i do think that a lot of people don't even watch the SFs and discover the songs on final day so "faders" don't have to worry (and the recaps won't be enough to feel the song "fade it away")

Funny that I have no real growers or faders this year. Unlike the past years I knew right from the beginning which songs I liked or not and it hasn't been changed yet.
Some minor growers are France (I thought it was "ok" and now I think it's great) and Finland (see France).
No real fader but switching sides (good - ok/mediocre) is Australia.

Currently Cyprus ("Alter Ego") and Romania ("Moment of Silence") are definitely growing for me, especially after seeing their live performances from London today. Generally I am rather a fan of the slower and more "quiet" songs, but these two really stand out for me, they are very catchy and "energetic".
I want both of them to qualify for the final.

My biggest grower this year was definitely
Laura Tesoro's song horrified me at first listen, and I continued to dislike until the very Semi-Final 2. Here I discovered a pleasant dancing song with a cool singer, and it went straight in my Top 26.
Other growers this year were:
and
A slight grower this year was
The San Marinese song revealed itself to be cool and funny, but it was not enough to go to my Top 26.
Now, faders this year were:
and
I still like Heartbeat but others just grew in my top (see above)
I liked Sunlight at first sight but the song had shitty lyrics that just decreased my pleasure until it went out of my top 10, then top 15, then top 26.
And Miracle was a very good song but the live vocals of Samra killed it :'(
And my biggest fader this year is
Barei's song was even my FAVOURITE. But not only some songs did overtook it, but the live performance of Barei was disapponiting as f*ck with less than average vocals, and the excessive arrogance of a majority of Spanish eurofans that took a victory for granted and became angry if someone said that their song was not the best. It deserved to flop, honestly.

AFTER THE CONTEST
Growers -
before the contest: 21st; now: somewhere in the top10. A well deserved result for this year.
before the contest: 24th; now: 11-15th place. The performance was really, really enjoyable.
before the contest: 27th; now: somewhere in my top20. I enjoyed the performance and for me it was 1000 times better than .
before the contest: 32nd; now: somewhere between 20-25th place.
And the biggest grower award goes to...
Faders -
before the contest: 8th; now: somewhere between 14-23rd place, still not that bad because I like the song. I really hated the performance. It was awful and tasteless. And her silly costume was the worst in the whole competition.
before the contest: 10th; now: a bit lower, maybe 19th, just like in the ESC. Expected more.
before the contest: 18th; now: actually I have nothing to say about this one. Once it was my number one, when we had like 6 or 7 songs.
That's all. Good I have more growers than faders this year.
And I have the same number one - and the same 43rd place - , nothing has changed with them.
