Here are my predictions for Eurovision 2018. I won’t bore you with the rationale but essentially it’s a stupid mix of what I want to win and what I think will win (I would be excited if I got one right) –
01. Norway
02. Ireland
03. Germany
04. Australia
05. Sweden
06. Albania
07. Czech Republic
08. Slovenia
09. Bulgaria
10. UK
11. Finland
12. Moldova
13. Ukraine
14. Spain
15. France
16. Portugal
17. Hungary
18. Israel
19. Estonia
20. Lithuania
21. Italy
22. Austria
23. Cyprus
24. Denmark
25. Serbia
26. Netherlands
Cyprus kind of got to me although haven’t seen all of the entries yet. I liked Greece too but they didn’t get through! I loved the ‘story’ of the Irish one, as in the love story acted out in the background, but the song itself is very weak (I’m from Ireland)
I kind of felt like Cyprus was a Beyoncé-ripoff… slick but not very original.
The Irish song – I’ve been humming it since I heard it (that’s always my test – which ones do I keep humming). Anyway, we’ll know in about 14 hours – can’t wait!
Ditto, crisps and chocolate on the ready!!!
As it will be 5am in Australia, we’ve just set up blankets, pillows and croissants for our early start!
You’re Eurovision posts are actually making me want to watch Eurovision – this is a new experience for me 😀
Do you not watch?! It’s sooooo good. Mad but good.
It’s good to see us at No 10. We usually struggle to make it out of the bottom three. A lot of people in the UK are saying that Cyprus will win, but I think it’s quite wide open this year!
Sweden did better than I had expected. I thought Israel was going to win, but I thought France and Ireland were the two best songs.
Loved France! The kids wanted Czech Republic to win but actually I thought Moldova was something different! (The look on their faces before they realised there were more people behind the boxes!)
