Who will be the epic flop of Eurovision 2016?

[cassio]

Sweden

 

[Nicfedy]

Spain sorry but I can't see anything good about this , except maybe the little dance. Not as good as the Matese dance on This in the Nght though.

 

[ag89]

 

[Sabiondo]

(Depending on Amir perfomance) or

 

[GermanBango]

I'm gonna add too - since anything but a win will be considered a flop.

 

[nikolay_BG]

or

 

[Terence]

At this rate I'd say - something tells me that the performance won't live up to expectations, and it's doing well on fan polls which could be the kiss of death. Hope not though, as if it's down to Russia vs. France, I'm rooting for the latter.

 

[jlsj]

^ Agree

I've been worrying about the performance. all the performances I have seen of this song he seems bored on stage.. like he is being forced to be tehre. he is does that on the 14th he has no chance

 

[Luki]

or even.

 

[WhoKnows]

I'm starting to have really bad feelings about .

 

[theCONWEL]

I'm starting to think , see my comments in their thread... I think this isn't gonna have as broad appeal as people think.

 

[Chorizo]

I think could really flop.
Ukraine and Iceland will have projections/3D mapping as well, so why would Russia win because of the staging as many people expect? The votes of those that are impressed by this kind of staging will be split between these countries. The juries will probably prefer something else because they don't want a winner that reminds people of last year's winner. It doesn't matter if it's objectively justified to call this staging a copy of last year. It only matters that people see it this way. Since Greta was called a copycat, it will be no different in Sergey's case. We still have to see how Greta's staging was changed and Jamala's staging might be more creative than Sergey's.

I think the preview shows indicate that the (Western) juries will not put Russia on top of their rankings. That might happen in countries in which Sergey is a big star but last year, Polina wasn't supported by all countries where she's famous and the same thing could happen this year. The song isn't strong enough anyway. Even Sergey's fans keep talking about the staging and the diaspora and his fame in the ex-USSR to explain why they expect him to win.

The odds could change again but some bookies have already put France in first place and the difference between France and Russia is generally minimal. If France has good staging and solid vocals, I think France will become the clear favorite.

Chorizo with his xenophobia again.

 

[Nicolas]

I think maybe Croatia, Azerbaijan or Russia.

 

[Chorizo]

Chorizo with his xenophobia again.

Xenophobia means that I would have to support my own country and reject all others, right?

 

[carl1]

There is no way that Russia will flop fortunately/unfortunately.
Top 5 is guaranteed

Yeah, but anything short of victory would be considered a flop for them.

Hating one specific Russian and hating Russia shouldn't be conflated. For example, I still love Bulgaria!
