Okay, I have to rewrite my former opinion on this year. After I initially thought this was gonna be an extraordinary good year I have to scale down my euphoria a bit. It's still a great year but the latest releases didn't convince me much and left me in a bit of disappointment. Yet we have some VERY STRONG songs and I'm happy about the diversity of my personal favourites. It's the first time in years I can sit down and enjoy the contest and have a bunch full of songs I really love and would be happy to win so I am almost sure the winner will be a song that is also in my top 10. So all good!

If they are collaborating with Codarts we might actually see Iva at Eurovision after all.

I think that I will try to not follow the national final season 2021 like I did 2019. This year was a disaster

Countries in which my favourite songs didn't win:


Countries in which my favourite songs actually win:


To be fair, GoA and Khayat were both 10/10, I just prefer Khayat's song slightly more (whilst Solovey is better in general, it's difficult to explain).

Seeing neither "Kingdom Come" nor "Bulletproof" win tonight gave me another "Cool Me Down" trauma.

I had to add San Marino (sadly) gosh.. This year clearly is not mine

Perhaps 2021 will be amazing like 2016 and 2018-2019

Now the entries to Semi-Final 2 are all finalized (pending revamps from Albania, Czech Republic and Armenia).
The 1st half looks like it's going to be uptempos with 3 dated ballads, and 2nd half with all the ballads with 4 uptempos.
Only 1 non-English song (ie. Serbia) in the 1 half and 2 non-English songs (ie. Portugal & Switzerland) from the 2nd half.
This is going to be very interesting.

I still didn't create my top 10. There are so many bad songs this year. My top 9.

So, The Netherlands drew the 23rd position for the Final.
Looking at the past winners from 2015, there is a path

2015: #10
2016: #21
2017: #11
2018: #22
2019: #12

So for ESC2020 the 23rd position was a candidate to a winning slot.
Now that The Netherlands got it you see it possible for them? Or now the trend is gonna stop?

 

[shameless]

Heck, why aren't still all songs available today? Its always the same countries that drag it out for too long...

Regarding a cancellation: It's my fourth day in confinement right now (its getting annoying) and I still was not allowed to do the test because I don't show any symptoms. Two of my colleagues were tested positively and both not show symptons. I am maybe naive but I really think that come warmer times, the virus will decrease for sure. Still not worried for ESC not too happen but maybe it will be a crossover with Masked Singer this time.
I wonder when the first singer chosen will report they're infected - I really think it spread so much in europe that you cannot escape it anymore (at least in our big cities) and it will most likely not kill you.

I had to add San Marino (sadly) gosh.. This year clearly is not mine

In 2019, my #1 won in only 3 countries, but i'm still here.
This year, it's 6.

 

[LastDreamer]

Look at my stats.

My # 1s, which won in NF :
2020 - nobody
2019 - Kate Miller-Heidke
2018 - nobody
2017 - Kasia Mos, Norma John
2016 - ManuElla, Lidia Isac

 

[Gitte]

Apparently, there are at least 5 2000's kids and I don't know whether I, as someone who is born in 2001, have to like or not like that.

I made this: Best losing songs from this season if anyone is interested...

One of my favorite Djs, great news :-)

The postcards will begin with every participant opening their eyes, referring the slogan.

 

[Mrm]

I prefer 2nd semi by far..My top ten in the second semi is WONDERFUL, while in the 1st one I have some songs i don't like (in my top 10)! I will loose a lot of faves in the second semi.. And I will need a lot of money to vote in the second semi..

 

[Zonne147]

I prefer semi 1 but semi 2 will be the funny one
I need in the grand final

 

[NikolaiMoller]

I'm glad I can vote in Semi 2! My favorite semi.

It's the first time in years I can sit down and enjoy the contest and have a bunch full of songs I really love and would be happy to win so I am almost sure the winner will be a song that is also in my top 10. So all good!

Correction: Not if Bulgaria wins.
