Who do you THINK will win ESC 2018?

[lolita]

ESC 2018 predicted top 10 (combined Jury+televoting)
1) Bulgaria (top 3 in both, but slightly more jury points)
2) Israel (televote winner)
3) France (jury winner)
4) Sweden (more jury points)
5) Estonia (more televoting points)
6) Ukraine (even split)
7) Czech Republic (more televotes)
8) Belgium (more jury)
9) Portugal (even split)
10) Hungary (more televotes)

Italy & Australia will each receive less than 50 televoting points , and that will kill their chances to be in top 10. Same for Rybak with Juries.

Wow, I couldn't agree more with this, I think the same! And [MENTION=5921]Fluke[/MENTION] I think that Estonia and Bulgaria, along with France have huge chance of winning, more than three countries you've counted.

I also agree with most of what you wrote! But I really don't see doing that well and might sneak into top 10 but it won't be that high! The rest seems quite plausible! Of course we might have some dark horses though and this year I can really see doing well again (even finishing top 10 or more)...

Before the rehearsal, i think, for now, it's a race between:

 

[FilipFromSweden]

Win: / /
Runner-up:
Third place:

 

[A-lister]

It's hard to tell, juries will once again unfairly boost , so I expect a top. 3 for them maybe even a win in the jury votes... as for televote I'm leaning on to win...

So it all comes down to what entry that will manage to score averagely the highest with both televoters and jury voters combined, and I think in the end it will be between (more televoters) and (more jury votes) (I think both of these entries have the chance to become top. 3 in both jury and televoters separately).

Contrary to popular belief, I think won't do that good with televotes (a top. 10 perhaps but not a top top contender), so I don't see them as a winner candidate if juries won't boost them enough that is, and I think juries will give them quite well, but not well enough because I think they want a "richer" country/broadcaster to win so won't be their top priority

That's really interesting and now that you pointed it out, I quite see France becoming a really strong contender because I think it's the only song in top 10 that is going to do well with both the jury and the televote. I am positive that Netta is not going to be boosted by the jury at all, so maybe France has a chance.

or

are the only ones I see winning right before rehearsals...

Pre-rehearsal I would say it's a fight between Israel, Norway and France.

Norway would be one of the best Winners of all Time.
France one of the Worst.
Israel the Worst.

I feel like France is currently building up some kind of momentum. (similar to Portugal last year)
Maybe it's gonna be a three-horse-race after all.

is now 5th in the odds.

is now 5th in the odds.

Well deserved, it is shame I can't say it for 2 other songs in top 5. I don't know what Australia and Czech Republic are doing there, but I guess my taste is not so mainstream this year.

 

[John1]

I can't wait to see crashing and burning in the odds after the beginning of the rehearsals...

 

[revallsay]

I want ofc. I would also be as happy with and . From those who are considered pretenders, only and (if they are).

I think the same about Australia and Czech Republic. I wouldn't mind France becoming winner, even when it's not on my top. BUt they would deserve it.

Gosh, just realised it's not who do you want to win thread...

The Hype around Estonia died somehow. I think Norway has the best chances, although hes hated by the Fandom.
