Well, I number Germany along with "all or nothing". People love it or hate it as it is special. But I could also be a winner imho. We'll see.

Anyway, I don't see any major flop this year as we don't have a clear winner. Or, in other words, many will flop as there can only be one winner.

For example, infamous 2011. Sweden, Ireland, France, Estonia... all favourites but apart from Sweden, you can count the others as minor or major flops (in case of Estonia, a rather major).

:is: I'm afraid people will think it's a copy of Heroes and Euphoria (do you remember :ee: 2014?)

:no: I don't even think they will make it to the finals (I hope I am wrong though)

:hu: No way it will be top 10

:at: Probably it will be the biggest flop of the year


The reason why I did not mention :es: is because it is a love-hate song. And as I can see everywhere Barei gets lots of 12 points from people who will actually vote for her (unless Amanecer, that it was liked by many people but loved only by a few).

I would say that :es: is the biggest candidate for now, but I'm also afraid for :no: (but I hope that I'm wrong) because it could sound weird to people who will hear it for the first time :/

:fr: is quite good in studio version, so I think that final performance will be quite important for them (but I can see it in at least TOP15 in televoting)

I don't think that :is: will flop hard, but I think that it will underperform

With any luck it'd be Russia.

I think it will be. It's the hot favorite, so anything other than #1 will be a flop. Despite him being a big name, I just can't see enough votes coming for that song. Not from the juries at least. I might be biased, but I'm trying to be objective here. It's a strictly ESC bubble song. If Gagarina couldn't win last year, I can't see a path for Lazarev's victory. At best it will be Lorak 2. At worst - Rouvas 2009.

Estonia, Austria, Spain and France, I think. Estonia because they seem to be in an 'I like it but don't love it' position with most people and the song doesn't come across well live, Austria because I just can't imagine it standing out and it feels like a traditional fanwank, and Spain and France because they're Spain and France.

No hype about Estonia though I'd say. So far I seem to be the only one who loves it...

Even though it's my favourite. I wouldn't be shocked if Spain flops on the night....the rehearsals will give a big indication I guess of how it will go.
I'm also thinking Iceland could flop badly even though I like it too.
Think Croatia won't do half as well as expected either.

I don't know how you define a flop but I guess "high oddser ending really bad" might be a definition of "an epic flop"??? :rolleyes:

True, there doesn't seem to be any hype anywhere. I like it, but as it stands, if the staging is the same as on Eesti Laul I think it may very well fail to qualify on the strong first semi final.

Well, I like the present staging. I like the way he moves, I like his clothes, I like the red lights and the darknesss and I love the 3 headed Juri on the screen behind. I´m not sure if having monkeys on stage, in any shape or form, would serve the purpose of the song any better :D

I don't think it should have any gimmic, I never said that ;) But I think his stage presence is a little bit awkward and that may be a problem results-wise.
