well... it remains quite weaker thanor even
Nooo, it is way more catchier than both of them, and has huge mass-appeal. I am not a fan, but I can admit it looks good.

Somehow I just recognised it sounds like a real brass section in the chorus, not a synth, Makes it more organic and carnivalesque I think.
Yeah, as catchy as the performance from
In my opinion, I didn't really thought that OK was catchy. It was fun, and memorable, but not catchy. By what we can see now, I think this isn't as overdone as
last year.

Italy was more messy, he was lost on that big dark stage, and it had huge language barier.
I am not for Izrael, but I think better her than Norway, I guess. Her song has great message, and she is sweet as a person, she deserves it more. If I have to choose winner it would be more France, Estonia, Bulgaria, but I don't think they stand huge chance against Netta.

people in this board need to separate their own opinions from actual placement speculation. netta is not my #1 this year (though she is close), yet she's clearly head and shoulders above everyone else in rehearsals. logic dictates that she is the likeliest winner. anything can happen, but her chance is better.
Yeah, if juries say NO to this.
No way juries will allow this to win! Except the song itself i doubt that EBU wants to see Eurovision in jerusalem next year!

But #MeToo is very actual now, so I could see this winning.
We will see but currently i think Bulgaria, Sweden, Norway, France have more chances!
Actually I would like to see Israel winning!

I don't think my dear
has a chance, because after rehearsal all hype is dead, maybe top 5 or 10. I would like it, but it is not possible, almost. 
1 I mean, it is a strong year, if year was less strong, Sweden would have a lot of chance. And I guess to lot of public, like for most of fans here, Benjamin will fail in his attempt to be cool and sexy, most people interpret it as cocky. He works for me, I find it sexy and cool, but I am girl and that stuff, but hetero men despises him. His entry and performance are polarized, and I don't think it is good thing when it comes to victory.

But we had Verka and grannies from Russia, they almost won, so I guess people like fun songs, a lot.
They didn't have such an off-putting staging...
