Hope beats

Don't think so anymore.

 

[Ajeje Brazorf]

Is It 2021 again for the Juries?

 

[Gordon_Shumway]

Switzerland will also get a lot of points from the televoting. So it's decided already, what do you think?

 

[Laepo1]

I'd be happy with either Croatia or Switzerland winning

 

[aef]

I’ve never been a passionate jury hater but this year I’m questioning the juries a lot - putting in 2nd place - what the actual fuck?

 

[Brendan]

You can really hear the boos when Israel get a any number of points

I expect the audience won't be happy when Israel get their likely high televote score - and move (temporarily) into the lead. Before Croatia, Switzerland etc overtake them.

I don't quite get why France does so well with the juries when he had vocal problems during the jury show, allegedly.

i guess they understand that he has great vocals and a slip-up in one place can happen to the best of us. They are professionals after all...

I feel reputation, odds and hype affect juries. As a song I don't think it's that fresh anyway.

 

[Gordon_Shumway]

Croatia has not enough points in juries. switzerland will fail in televotes.
Im still thinking Israel has this.

No the distance is too big.

 

[Verjamem]

Switzerland will also get a lot of points from the televoting. So it's decided already, what do you think?

Switzerland doesn't have demanding diaspora around the world. Croatia too.

 

[southernstars]

I can't see Croatia winning at this point.

Poor Estonia, I still love it lol

 

[lolito]

Numbers on screen are so small I have to sit 3 inches from the telly. The pink and blue background don't help.

 

[Kev4000]

No the distance is too big.

Israel will get 400 points in televote mate.

 

[NeoTen]

Gap between Croatia and Israel still not big enough to overcome odds projection, Switzerland 15% better than expected. Ireland doing 120% better than expected and is projected to become 3rd now.

 

[Verjamem]

Israel will get 400 points in televote mate.

And they already have too much points from juries.

 

[Jay25]

I’ve never been a passionate jury hater but this year I’m questioning the juries a lot - putting in 2nd place - what the actual fuck?

I am also very surprised. Not mad, but I didn't expect this at all. I would have expected close to none jury points for this. Of course, the performance was good, so was the singing. But so far up?

Depending on the televotes, this might become a big surprise.

 

[Wynnter]

Norway

 

[jatojo]

Poor Estonia, I still love it lol

They made it to the final, narrowly probably. So don't feel sorry for them.

 

[gigi_copp3]

Israel will get 400 points in televote mate.

That would still be around 450 points total.
I'm not that confortable but I think someone might snatch that score

 

[GermanBango]

Only 10 points for Cyprus from Greece phahahaha
