Dark Horse Watchlist

[Mlyn]

Since last year saw the rising of dark horses to top spots (speaking of and ) we really should keep an eye on them this year as well, despite all the hype and fangirling.

So, speaking of dark horses, these are mine so far:

they have everything a dark horse needs to win

It looks like many countries have upped their game this year, but this means more polarization and that a compromise winner looks likely which cuts it by political powervotes like . They are decent and have good neighbours as well as diaspora, but are no killer songs. (Remember 2011? )

at the moment.

Definitely,

I think could win the whole thing.

I predicted as a possible winner when it was first revealed. I don't think so really anymore, but a top 10 is very possible.

Both have the power to surprise and do well. In a year where the fun is sorely lacking, these two countries provide us with some.


And last of all I think will do very well, despite what a lot of fans would tell you. They are a favourite with the betting though, so i'm unsure they could really be considered a dark horse.

Imo France won't be a Dark Horse this year if we consider that it could be among the 10 (or even 15) first positions. For me the dark horses this year may be either or

or indeed.

I know is a fan favourite but I guess it can count as a dark horse too as it's terribly underrated in the odds.

I haven't listened to all the songs yet, but I think Malta and Latvia are dark horses. As anselm pointed out, I really really can't understand how bookies are underrating Latvia so much. I guess it's because of Latvia's terrible recent history in the contest.
