What do you think - who will be the juries' favourites this year?

My guess: Latvia, Estonia & Hungary

I think they'll like Armenia and Austria. I don't know about Estonia yet, last year they had what I think was a very jury-friendly song, but the jury only ranked them 10th.

:se: :se: :se: oh wait... and :au:

If Frans win then I think the juries will probably shun Sweden. Australia definitely though, its just the sort of beige they eat up.

You're probably right, but I'm still shocked about the jury support "You" got in 2013. :lol: Tastes differ of course, but I thought this wouldn't do well with them, yet they ranked it really high. So I don't know what to expect anymore as far as Sweden is concerned. :mrgreen:

Hard to predict. Every single year I get surprised after I see the final results.

But I believe jury might like the Netherlands, France, Hungary and Estonia. Maybe even Georgia. And Croatia. Who knows.

Well, the jury groups who gave "You" 12 points were Iceland, Israel and Croatia. If it was up to UK, Cyprus, Malta, Spain, Germany, Italy and France to decide the outcome, "You" would have lost. :D

Are we talking "what will the juries rank highly," or is this "what will the juries rank higher than the televoters?" I won't dare to figure out the former at least until we have some odds, but as for the latter, I think :au:, :cz:, :hr:, :hu:, :at:, :ee:, :il:, :lv:, :pl: (maybe), and :no: will all have disproportionately high jury scores. Oddly enough, even though it won its NF thanks to a jury landslide, :fi: may score higher with televoters than with jury, especially if the staging is strange.

1. Armenia
2. Iceland
3. Czech Republic

1. Latvia
2. Ukraine
3. Norway

Grand Final Jury top 3 :

Germany top 3? really? I think it will actually do really quite badly in the final. :?

It's very hard to predict at the moment, but I do feel Germany has good good jury potential if Jamie doesn't go all Sailor Moon with the stage show again.

I get what you say, but I think it's just too forgettable of a song. Maybe i'm over looking it's potential, but with other bigger songs around I think it will fall and die on the spot. I guess the fact it's quite a weak year will be a good thing and will play to it's advantage, we'll have to wait and see.

I'm adding Australia, Austria and France. So my guess: juries will love Hungary, Australia, France, Austria, Latvia and Estonia. I'd expect the German jury to give Estonia the most points if in the final.

Songs of which I think the audience will love a lot more than the juries: Russia, The Netherlands, Balkan countries, Cyprus, Ukraine
