I think that given all the hype, and everyone I've heard on the media, and a majority here, insist that it's a done deal, if Russia fail to win, THAT will be the flop of 2016. People seem to be pushing the idea that Sergei is a shoo-in for the title even more strongly than Mans was last year. Personally, I don't buy it. I can't see what everyone seems to be able to see in this mid-80s soft-rock-sounding snore-fest. Eurovision would gain huge kudos musically worldwide if NL, Georgia or Cyprus were to win, but I'm not holding my breath.
