I find Switzerland really catchy and a nice pop tune but what is he singing in the courus except "Dirty Dancing"??? Is it pure nonsense, Spanish...???

[fred]

But what is a good position? Around the middle or last?

I can tell you what's not good: after Iceland. It takes a while to shake it off 😂

Interesting. Excatly how do they point out the situation in Israel?

True, I hope not though haha because we can't afford to have Eurovision in Iceland.  But yeah they are an anti Eurovision Song, they are there to point out how the situation is in Israel/Palestine so who knows, maybe they will get votes because of that.

And they are also giving attention to the diversity of Eurovision viewers.


So far Switzerland is my favorite. The 2nd Semi final was waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the 1st Semi final.  It's almost unfair how bad and good the semi finals were. Many good songs from the 2nd final didn't get through and any BAD songs got through in the 1st Semi final.

I think this competition is very open. With Netherlands being the betting/odds favorite,

Bookmarkers odds, a list that's changing fast except for Netherlands
1 Netherlands
2 Autralia
3 Sweden
4 Switzerland
5 Italy
6 Azerbaijan
7 Russia
8 Iceland
9 France
10 Norway

Google made their own predictions where they look at the ranking based on search activity for other countries..

1 France
2 Iceland
3 Russia
4 Netherlands
5 Belarus
6 Cyprus
7 Switzerland
8 Italy
9 San Marino
10 Serbia

Source:https://googletrends...<br /> <br /> The Bookmarkers have often been correct but they have also been wrong.

So I think it's going to be exciting tomorrow

You are right, Estonia being after Iceland can hurt them indeed, but it can be a blessing too ...

The 6 last songs will definitely get some boost because they are the last songs and people might remember them easier; while the earlier songs will be kinda forgotten, especially Malta and Albania being the first 2 songs ...

They have been talking about it in interviews. And the lyrics, Hatred will win is the title of the song where they are just pointing out how Israel is treating Palestine.
In interviews, they have been shut down by the Israelis. Very politely though but as soon as they get questions about what's happening in Palestine, they get shut down.

Jon Ola Sand even told them to stop talking about what's happening in Israel.

The final night for Eurovision 2019 is upon us!

Who do you think will win?
Who do you want to win?

Like I said I think Iceland, Netherlands or Australia will win.

But my personal favourites are Greece and Israel (and Australia too )

I just heard that Duncan, the singer from the Netherlands, just came out as bi-sexual. What an obious way to try to get some extra votes! If he'd "come out" after he'd won (if he wins) I would had respected him more.

Hmmm he just came out today???

Maybe he feels empowered by the atmosphere in Eurovision?  But what a lame thing to do if he going after votes. I don't think he needs to worry that much.


I'm Icelandic (duh) and I want Iceland to do well. I don't want them to win but 2nd place would be excellent! But we won't be in second place.

I think the fight will be between Netherlands and Switzerland with Switzerland winning.  

But for my friends in Holland / Netherlands I hope the best for them

I still don't understand how San Marino qualified ... he still does not sound better ...

[Ukrfan]

I like Switzerland most! He is hot, the song is modern and catch, and I love his dancing and stage presence.

I was dissapointed by the Holland's performance. Wtf is that? Simply playing piano in a song which is not even piano-based, and that strange lightning sphere... sad, but it was BO-RI-NG.

Don't understand the hype over Australia. Don't like the song, and I already say a similar stage effects during Madonna's Illuminaty at Rebel Heart Tour.

But overall, I like this Eurovision much better than the previous one.

[ErwinG]

Tamta did much better than during her semi-finals

Duncan is up now!

[ErwinG]

Duncan was amazing, much better tonight than during his semi-final

Israel and Kobi was jus WAW!

Norway is getting everyone on their feet, loved it!

But norway,  their refrain is almost exactly like Finland' Sara Aalto - Monsters esc 2018.
How original is that??
