We all make predictions about who's winning/qualifying, televote or jury vote and my question is quite simple : When you look back, did you guess well ? Are you often close or far off the results ?

I'm not making any huge predictions in general but I know that my first opinion the very first time I listen to an entry is often the closest one to the actual results.
Sometimes I can get behind an entry cause it's a grower or the staging did impress me and I'm like "oh this can qualify after all" and it doesn't , then I remember my first opinion about it : it's not qualifying, no chances and the other way around works too : when I heard Toy for the first time my only thought was "this is winning" then I saw the performances when she was shaky at times and the staging that did not impress me at all and I was at peace with the fact that maybe Israel wasn't winning after all despite my first impression and Cyprus had so much steam and hype so...
