Who do you THINK will win ESC 2018?

[John1]

No, but i believe that he will get easily jurie's 1st place. And on televoting i expect him 3rd or 4th so this can make him winner!
Song is not horrible in my opinion but does not deserve win for sure! Bulgaria, Israel, Estonia, Belgium, Greece, Italy, Finland and others deserve the win more.

Wait what?

 

[Citelis]

Wait what?

Yes i expect him to be 1st on juries.

I'm absolutely not fine with Norway winning. I hate this song and I think it has no chance of winning.
I'm more and more thinking that if Greece delivers a great performance, then it could win. I wouldn't be surprised to see the country moving down or up in the bookmakers' charts after the rehearsals. But for now, France, Israel and Bulgaria are the still the only possible winners in my opinion. I'll post my definitive predictions after all the rehearsals.

 

[Citelis]

Sweden has more chances than Norway!

Ok I don't know if anyone else posted this but Israel won Eurojury 2018 by wining the jury and coming 3rd in the online votes. However in the last two years the 5th place in Eurojury went to win the actual Eurovision so good news for Cyprus .

UK won the Eurojury in 2014, and Iceland was 6th in 2015 and UK 7th, it mostly means nothing. They are rating on the studio versions anyway.

Eurojury is a huge joke compared to OGAE. These juries aren't even able to rate songs properly. However, I have to admit that barely anyone can rate a song properly when it comes to the ESC.

Bottom 20 of the Eurojury jury vote:
Greece, UK, Hungary, Romania, Albania, Poland, Lithuania, Macedonia, Georgia, Iceland, Armenia, Russia, Ukraine, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Azerbaijan, Montenegro, San Marino, Moldova

Seems like western countries are much more favoured by eurojury. Sweden 3rd, Austria 4th, Australia 5th, Switzerland 6th, Norway 7th, Germany 8th.

Eurojury voting are the most horrible voting i've have ever seen!

That's why pointing out the potential winner before the rehearsals are pointless... Even if the songs themselves like City Lights and If Love Was A Crime did well in the end, but almost every year we will be disappointed if the results did not live up to our overhyped expectations. Even if Italy's 6th place last year is not really a flop, but I expected this to win and even I fell for it. Hype is a trap that not just in the ESC-bubble, but social media overall fall into.

I feel that the gap between March and May is the reason for this hype because as time goes, as we became way too warmed up for the songs. It's hard to predict with the perspective of the casual veiwer then.

Right now I think it's between , and .

I'm sorry but is more a lame duck than a spicy chicken with that boring staging! I'm pretty sure now that this will never ever win, I can even see it not making the top 5, just like last year... Judging based on the snippet the staging is totally uninspired with really ugly colors... + The chicken dance will put off many people, even more than just with the chicken sounds!

is now an even bigger favourite to win than before I guess - they did a great job, simple but effective staging!

After 1st rehearsals it really does appear that is dark horse, obviously. If he will manage to be good vocally, whole performance is rare full package and real perfection.

 

[DaFlo]

Don't mind Bulgaria winning after seeing that rehearsal clip *obamasweatpic*

 

[SerRusLena]

Probably: Czechia, Israel, Bulgaria, France and Italy

Dark Horses: Greece, Albania, Lithuania, Ukraine

In my honest opinion .

 

[hijirio]

At betting odds Bulgaria and Israel are full of red, while Estonia is full of blue.

Hopes rise... Let's bring ESC to Tallinn

 

[Ana Raquel]

with that staging, i can't see netta winning at all

 

[joao]

I'm betting on France!

 

[hungo]

from the reactions of the press to the rehearsals so far i would say austria is the dark horse.

 

[wtf]

I've been getting that vibe tbh. If they nail the staging and camerawork (and it seems they did), they can definitely win the jury vote. I don't see the televoters going for it, but it sure has this gospel-like vibe that gets you hyped.
