ESC-2018 Bold Predictions thread

[Ana Raquel]

will be out of the top 15

 

[Ezio]

Juries will butcher Norway, Denmark and Finland, but give Sweden a lift.
Televoters will vote the other way round.

Juries will also destroy Moldova, but will be in Top 5 of televoting.

 

[GermanBango]

will neither win the televoting nor the jury voting but they'll still be the overall winner with a margin of less than 20 points.
and will be the televoting Top 2 (not really bold) but it will be very close. Both will be just outside of the Jury Top 5.
Neither nor and will end up in the top 5.
Salvador will refuse to go on stage.
The Russian spokesperson will make some butthurt remarks while giving the points.
and will end up in the bottom 6
won't be last

 

[aef]

I'm not completely sure about them but let's try it out:

will win the televote
will be in the top 6 again
will be outside televote top 3
will be in the top 10
and will be outside top 10

 

[Jukica]

Here is my attempt:

DNQed thanks to juries, qualified thanks to juries
will be TOP5 in televoting, around 18th - 23rd with juries
will do like 2017
and will finish in at least TOP10, will be bottom 5
will have their best result in a while
, and will be TOP3 in the final (random order), will win
will be very high with juries (TOP5) and low with televoting (20th - 25th)
will be TOP10 in televoting
will finish between 8th and 13th place

 

[Nicfedy]

UK top 10 after jury votes. Sunk again by the public more than usual with 0 pts.
Ukraine bottom 5
Ireland win

 

[blein]

was saved by juries in semi1
was destroyed by juries in semi1
will be last in results
won semi final 2
won semi final 1
will win eurovision
will be in right side of scoreboard
was saved by the televote in semi final 2

 

[Jim]

I believe that the difference between all the songs at the top 5, will be very small... For example, the winner will have 351 points, the second one will have 340 points till the fifth one, that will have 245 points...

 

[burrito]

some of them aren't very bold but here I go anyway

is not going anywhere close to top 10
will be Occidentali Karma of 2018
will enter top 10 despite the dead slot
will flop with the televote, but will be top 5 with juries
will actually do better with televote than juries
will win and will be a runner-up but difference between them will be no more than a few points
Someone's performance will be ruined due to technical fuq up
will be on the right side of the scoreboard
dead last

 

[QwaarJet]

Bold predictions seem far more likely to happen this year.

1. Ireland will win despite not winning either vote
2. Cyprus will not get top 10 with the juries
3. Denmark will get top 5 with the televote
4. Australia will finish last
5. UK will avoid bottom 5
6. France will do better on the televote
7. Hungary will flop. Bottom 10
8. Juries will have Moldova for breakfast. Bottom 5 in juries but top 5 in televote, sneaks in to top 10. We will be Szpak'd!
9. Lithuania will win the jury vote
10. Israel, not Cyprus will win the televote


As a last point, my boldest prediction (and not related to the other 10) is also the simplest, that in the confusion of now will seem a huge shock. Cyprus will win in a landslide, breaking Salvador's points record, Loreen's 12 points record and Rybak's winning margin record. This is the worst of the timelines, but I have considered that in the last week we have worked ourselves into a shoot.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

I don't necessarily hope these come true, they're just predictions. (at first I thought I didn't have any bold predictions but I guess I do)

will fall outside the top 10 in the final result. (11th-15th)
and will fall outside the top 15 in the final result (16th-20th)
A country everyone is writing off will perform surprisingly well in the televote. ( for example....or perhaps )
won't win the televote.
will underperform. (6th-10th)
and will get a top 10 result in the televote. (I think Cyprus, Israel, France, Sweden and Estonia will also be top 10, but they're not really bold predictions)
Whatever happens a portion of the Eurovision fanbase will claim Eurovision is dead.

Edit: I guess it's kind of a cop out to not predict the winner.

will win.

 

[novitopoli]

Not a bold prediction by any means, but I guess there will be no nil points by either jury or televoting.

will win the televoting but will probably (and imho hopefully) be tanked by the juries.

will do much better than the running order suggests and will exchange douze points with for televoting and, probably, jury voting.

will flop, placing even outside the top 15. will be another flop, not building up to the expectations. will be bottom 6 alongside and

is a safe bet for top 10, probably even top 5. ::sv won't do better than bottom half of the top 10. will place 3rd-4th thanks to televoting, but not higher.

won't place higher than 5th - 6th. Either or someone no one has in the picture will win. Definitely not .

 

[tuorem]

wins either Mans or Jamala-style.
reach the top 10 thanks to a top 10 televoting placing and mid-table jury placing.
will be higher in juries' ranking than
are top 5 with juries
will be overlooked by both parties to some extent
will be bottom 5

 

[0scar]

will finish outside the top 15.
places the lowest of the Big 5
will place 11th
will place last

 

[theCONWEL]

will do a 'Running Scared' and win out of the blue

 

[EscGeek]

Lea wil do a "Szpak" xcrossed

 

[jlsj]

will be nowhere near the top 10, maybe closer to 20th place
won't be in the top 5
wins the televote and gets 4th-5th place with the juries, making it enough to win the competition
The rest of the top 10 will be
and out of the top 10
The bottom 5 will be and...
will get a result similar to last year: decent jury vote and really low televote.

 

[lavieenrose]

will do a 'Running Scared'

fitting

 

[mauve]

fitting

I wouldn't mind if that bold thought came true ...

 

[joao]

Denmark will win!
