I'm thinking Germany will flop or quasi-flop as well. I have a funny feeling Belgium is gonna dark horse its way to possibly become the highest ranked Western European entry.
Who will be the big west-european flop of 2010?

Iceland a bit, as well.

Israel and Norway were the big flips. Ireland and Iceland were never expected to do that well by the broader masses (experts, oddsmakers, dedicated fans with brains).

Well, Hera went from 3rd to 19th, so it's surely a flop. The readers of ESCtoday predicted her to finish in the top 10 of the final (8th or something like that).

I am gutted that Ireland and Iceland did so badly, really was not deserved! They were amazing and just as good as any of the top 10 but hey there were so many good songs this year, anyone could have won!

The readers of ESCToday are wrong 75% of the time or something. It's not a flop, it's just expected (by me). The readers of ESCToday do not vote according to how they think Europe will vote but according to their own tastes.94ayd said:
I, for example, knew Belgium would make Top 10 after Tom's semi-final, that Sweden wouldn't make it to the final (or if we did, we'd be Bottom 5) and that Turkey and Romania would do well. The big shocker was Germany's win supported by many Eastern European countries despite a lackluster live performance.
