I don't think there is this thread yet - so who do you think will start and end the show? What is Björkman doing right now? :lol:

The position of the commercial breaks would be important, especially this year with many props that need extra time

Obviously not knowing breaks and set-ups etc. But this is my bash at it. It'll take them a while, because there aren't enough up-tempo in the first half and not even mids and ballads in the second.

Yeah. It's quite ironic to see that the current drawing system which should guarantee a maximum of variety led to the situation we're having right now...

Tbh they can't waste an uptempo song to open the show bc they need them between all the slow songs.

Not sure how long the setup for Austria takes, but it would be a good opener imo. Or UK. Slovenia & Ukraine should come later imo. Opening with Spain could also be an option.

For closing Australia would be perfect but they already got the latest spot in semi so nope. I would go with Finland.

They either need to return to a random draw, or allow the producers to decide the whole draw. None of this first and second half bullshit.

:fr: will be either 11th, 12th or 13th. I can't see the producers putting it earlier, as MM are considered as favourites.

:ua: will open the show for sure, and :au: will close it. Or maybe :cy:, don't know.

Moving through Germany
So I just made up my mind and created my ideal running order

01 - :sl: Slovenia Starting with a "banger" is quite in common and the fake issues my seem real in the beginning. Who cares. Anyway, I think she's one of three contenders to start
02 - :at: Austria I'm not using one of the slow songs here, instead chosen someone with poorer betting odds
03 - :ua: Ukraine I feel this has to perform early, before the song is more or less just there
04 - :uk: UK Why not?
05 - :lt: Lithuania After songs not many may care about, let's give the people sugar
06 - :fr: France It seems logical to me to set a big fave a little earlier
07 - :rs: Serbia Also a song that has to come quite early. Latest possible position to me
08 - :pt: Portugal ...
09 - :al: Albania An energetic voice after the quiet loop from Portugal to make a difference
10 - :ee: Estonia The possible "eyegasm" far away from many other visual faves, #13 would not do its favour I guess
11 - :es: Spain Because of what is left it seem more logical to have them here
12 - :no: Norway He did his job in opening the show, the latest uptempo spot here is his reward
13 - :de: Germany This or 2nd spot. No other way possible imo
14 - :nl: Netherlands All other uptempos are told to do good so this is left here
15 - :cz: Czech Republic Something for the eye again
16 - :fi: Finland Now it's all for the show
17 - :se: Sweden The top 2 contenders should start later and I'm not a fan of ending with an uptempo fave
18 - :ie: Ireland We had 3 bright shows and uptempos, we need a rest now
19 - :au: Australia Restarting slowly
20 - :il: Israel Now all in for the big girl fight
21 - :hu: Hungary The only loud and energetic and different enough to what comes next
22 - :cy: Cyprus If it's really between Netta and Eleni they should start close to each other, but not next to, to let the people remember them both or none
23 - :dk: Denmark And now it's time to head into the final
24 - :it: Italy Maybe I like it too much to give it an earlier space, but after the previous songs no fireworks should be fired anymore
25 - :md: Moldova As one last trashy performance to get entertained by
26 - :bg: Bulgaria To end the show with something different

My comments to not reflect my personal oppinions about the songs (e.g. the moldovan performance was cringey imo)
