I absolutely believe that greece will be at the second position….and who knows? maybe in the final she will get the 1-4 position

At worst, Albania will get 10th via jury substituion, I think.

I’m not convinced there are enough happy-clappy votes for so many acts of that kind to qualify, and at least one of the quirkier ones could easily get lucky on the night instead.
I expect there to be one more slower song in the mix, and I’m hopeful that it will be Finland.

I never get these betting odds..so if you have a smaller score you’re favorite to win?
And what does 9/2, 7/2 and 11/2 represent? How do you calculate them?
I’m happy Romania is in second position and I hope we’ll win the semi, the grannies don’t stand a chance with the jury, even though they’re cute!

I really doubt that Albania will go through
