This year is really shaping up for a Lazarev victory. Of all the songs we have heard so far, I can only see Lundvik win. He would definitely win the jury vote.
Soldi, I think people widely overestimate the appeal of this song. Completely flopped in San Remo with the public. I mean he was almost last with the public on the first night. Eurovision winner? No way.
Hatari? I think they will be killed by the juries, borderline qualfier at best.
Spirit in the sky? My favourite in the norway selection, but the song is quite cheesy lbh, juries won't rank this high.
Sebi? I think it's way too lowkey to attract massive televoting interest.

Basically internally selected songs need to deliver.

We need top hear Sergey's song first to see if is strong enough to win televoting! How everyone is so sure that the song will be so amazing that will be no1 for the win?

What is this about?

When Linda Martin had an argument fight with Billy McGuiness over that it was bias in the judging panel since one of the judges according to him were connected to one of the contestants. Linda Martin answered him with: "You are an odious little man"

All this happened in the Irish NF 2014

The only grain of hope I have is because last year all top 3 were from internal selections. (Netta's song was internally selected so...)

Bad news if you wanted to bring crowbars, torches, or megaphones into the arena in Tel Aviv. They are not allowed.

So I can't bring bikes, syringes, handcuffs and saw blades into the arena? Thank you for letting me know :lol: I wasn't sure about those items.

I know a lot of people have already said this, but I can't help but feel really disappointed about how 2019 could have turned out. Image if the line-up so far had looked like this.

:al: Jonida Maliqi - Ktheju Tokes
:au: Electric Fields - 2000 And Whatever
:be: Eliot - Wake Up
:hr: Luka Nizetic - Brutalero
:cy: Tamta - Incomplete
:cz: Barbora Mochowa - True Colors
:dk: Leonora - Love Is Forever
:ee: Sandra Nurmsalu - Soovide Puu
:fr: Seemone - Tous Les Deux
:de: Aly Ryan - Wear Your Love
:hu: Yesyes - Incomplete
:it: Mahmood - Soldi
:lv: Double Faced Eels - Fire
:lt: Monika Marija - Light On
:me: Andrea Demirovic - Ja Sam Ti San
:ro: Bella Santiago - Army Of Love
:sl: Raiven - Kaos
:es: Maria - Muerdeme
:ua: Maruv - Siren Song (and she wasn't murdered by the broadcaster)
:uk: Kerrie-Anne - Sweet Lies

Everyone would be talking about how 2019 would be the strongest Eurovision year in a long time, maybe even the strongest year ever.

I think a very high majority of us would be OK with that lineup instead of what we have so far.

What's the point of your comment? It's basically a list of your personal favourites I guess? For me this would be quite a shitty list tbh, what's the big improvent of having basically 80% female solo artist as you kinda suggest? Eurovision is about male and female artists, bands, duos, ... And what's so bad about the selected entries anyway? I mean there always are some peole screaming "20xx is the worst year!!!" but hey... let's get real please. And just to add that point, why on earth would have Sandra or Barbora deserved to win with their bland snoozefest?

Floor plan for the arena.



I didn't realize this year's Eurovision was going to be held in a college auditorium.
