I also don't think is going to win.
I hope for a good result, top 10 maybe.
Absolutely glad with a top5.
I wasn't expecting him to take the lead immediately, meantime Latvia France and C Republic went half way.
I think, lately, only Portugal 2017 made a long jump from middle way positions to the high top
Apparently somethings seem perfect for ESC but maybe they aren't. I also thought Nina Zilli was perfect for ESC, fantastic singer, contemporary sound, beautiful girl, perfect elegant staging but she's got only a 9th place.I like the song (but to be fair, it's mostly because of language, I'm in love with italian) but I don't think it will end in top 5. First place... no fucking way, it's not that good.
Top 10, yes. Mostly because of jury because italians are always serving quality, they will love it.
Ugh, I wanted Elodie, she was perfect for ESC.
(yes yes, I know they're choosing Sanremo winner, not strictly the someone who will represent them on esc)
Portugal 2017 was top5 with the bookies for most of the time. It started climbing till number 1 after the semi. So, no that big of a jump

For me, statistics don't determine which nation will definitely win. Statistics should be read differently. If we go to observe the statistics of 2017 Italy, "Occidentali's Karma" it was obvious that it would enter the "Top 10". Indeed, Italy was fourth in preference to the public! Then the jury votes threw us behind Belgium and Sweden. Do you want to know who gave us 12 points? Our Albanian and Maltese friends (typical ... sometimes it happens that the alliance extends with Spanish and French friends and ... some crumb left from Finland). They are statistics studied. Now you can read the statistics and draw conclusions. Also this year Italy, unless masterpieces are presented to the ESC, will enter "Top 10". In another post I wrote a strange thing ... if Italy wins this year and Lithuania come in second? Wins must always be contested, right? If Italy wins, I will go to Rotterdam in a bathrobe and slippers to wave the flag and singing "Andiamo a comandare" at the top of my voice (I inserted the video in the post).I can share the betfair exchange odds:

Thanks for your affection, Mauve I hope Germany will bring a great song to the ESCSo far, Italy is still crowning on top of my list ....
Thank you, but I lost my hope ... and it is okay, as I have three or four faves already (Italy, Belgium, very probably Georgia, Albania) to root for, so I am not sad, even though you always want your own country to send a good entry.Thanks for your affection, Mauve I hope Germany will bring a great song to the ESC
Lately I liked the Michael Schulte song. Perhaps to improve and motivate the singers, Germany should create a festival. Competition is very good. However, among the "Big 5" you are the last to conquer the ESCThank you, but I lost my hope ... and it is okay, as I have three or four faves already (Italy, Belgium, very probably Georgia, Albania) to root for, so I am not sad, even though you always want your own country to send a good entry.
Schulte's song is quite close to my heart now as my dad died 10 days ago. That's why I can feel so much with him.Lately I liked the Michael Schulte song.

I am very sorry for your father ... I understand your suffering. In recent years I have also lost some of my relatives. I dedicate Schulte's song to you and everyone who has lost a loved one. And then ... you smile again. Life is so beautiful and full of surprises that crying and being sad is the worst damage we can do to ourselves.Schulte's song is quite close to my heart now as my dad died 10 days ago.

Thank you so much. And you are absolutely right about life having to offer so many beautiful shades. Unfortunately death is always apart of it too. While writing this I listen to Walk alone. Beautiful song and like a catharsis.I am very sorry for your father ... I understand your suffering. In recent years I have also lost some of my relatives.
