I would say Russia. Most fans seem to ditch it, but it will do better than people expect.
Overrated: Slovenia and maybe even Switzerland (even tho I like it)
To be fair, people this year actually don't give a damn about Sweden and seem very disinterested in forums to discuss Sweden or the song. I personally like it and enjoy it. Not sure how people would digest it, as it is too American-Hallelujah-Praise The Lord- type of song. Compared to other years, they are a bit underrated yes.

Well, I do think Sweden is overrated. It will finish in top 10, but no way it will be top 5. The problem I have with it is that it is again very well polished, but the soul is missing, which is ironic considering it's a soul/gospel song. I don't think the viewers will have a strong connection with it.

I think Sweden is a bit overrated too. I think it will be top10 easily, because it is still one of the better songs, but it misses something. I think Italy, Russia, Switzerland and the Netherlands all have better chances at the moment. And I wouldn’t count out Greece and Iceland either. And personally, I hope Slovenia gets a top5 result too.
I think it is a bit outdated... This is the kind of song I would have loved 10 years ago. The choir on the background makes it a bit cheesy and outdated for me. Also, I can see that the singer knows how to perform, but still it is too macho for me. And as someone pointed it out already, I get American Praise the Lord vibes too.
Ps. I hope I used reasonable arguments for why I think Sweden won’t do as well as usual. Don’t want to upset anybody.

Overrated imo:
Underrated:
But to each his own obviously.
Yeah, it's dead last with the bookies, where is all that hype coming from.

Is Ireland overrated ?
Fair enough
But it isn't among the bottom 15 with the odds. Even though I think the song is just fine, I fear the worst for Ireland. The song is not without charm and her voice is good, but it might be just a little bit too unremarkable to stand a chance (of qualifying).
