1) Which songs do you think will make the Top 5? 2) Which song will be #43? 3) Which song will have the highest SD (Standard Deviation)? 4) If your country is participating this year, where do you think it's song will place? 5) Which song is going to win it all? 1) Anja's "Where I Am" is a lock for Top 5 imo but other than her, I have no idea. 2) One of the non-English songs probably like the entries from Italy or Portugal. 3) No idea... random guess: "Spirit of the Night" or "Skeletons" 4) USA doesn't participate. 5) "Where I Am" is my guess.

1) Which songs do you think will make the Top 5? Denmark, Belgium, Bulgaria, France, FYROM or Norway/Sweden probably?!?
2) Which song will be #43? I hope it's my #43. I think it'll be between Slovenia, Albania, Georgia & Lithuania.
3) Which song will have the highest SD (Standard Deviation)? Portugal or Latvia (Sweden & Armenia following)
4) If your country is participating this year, where do you think it's song will place? I don't think our song deserves top 10 but we always do well on Televoting, so with a #14-#17 juries placing and a #6-#9 on Televoting we will make the lower section of the top 10 if we're lucky, otherwise places #11-#14 sound good after last year's nightmare with that horrible song. My country is Greece btw.
5) Which song is going to win it all? Denmark has a real shot at this.

1) Which songs do you think will make the Top 5?Not knowing other people's tastes in this year's songs, I really couldn't say. I know Anja has a distinct advantage having made the top 8 in March Madness this year and getting a lot of exposure from that. Past that, I think maybe Demy has a shot, and I'm also hoping Alma and Nathan Trent do well. 2) Which song will be #43?I'd prefer it to be one of Russia, Romania or Portugal. Of those three though, I think it'd be more likely to be Russia or Portugal 'cause I could see at least one person saving Romania with their ranking. 3) Which song will have the highest SD (Standard Deviation)?IDK what songs are divisive. Maybe Malta? Montenegro could also have a split lol. 4) If your country is participating this year, where do you think it's song will place?I see Australia coming at least top 20, maybe top 10 even. I know a few people have expressed like for the song (off the top of my head I can't remember how many, if any, are playing though). 5) Which song is going to win it all?Anja and 'Where I Am' (refer to Q1 lol)

I'll give it a go, although i suspect I may well be way off the mark!
1) Which songs do you think will make the Top 5?
Italy, Sweden, Denmark, Australia aaaaaand France. Maybe Bulgaria as outsider.
2) Which song will be #43?
Russia.
3) Which song will have the highest SD (Standard Deviation)?
Albania.
4) If your country is participating this year, where do you think it's song will place?
UK have an okay song for once, reckon they will be mid table-ish. Going to say about 18th?
5) Which song is going to win it all?
France - can see it being consistently ranked quite high.

Welp I guess Italy is going to have a high SD because it's already gotten predictions for first out and now also for #1.

I ranked this 30, not 41. I just checked my rankings, as I didn't recall ranking it that high (30), and I ranked it 41st. I would therefore imagine YotamTS got our rankings the wrong way round on this occasion?

I didn't warm to this song at all. I found it to be very slow, and didn't get my juices flowing at all. Little surprised it didn't fare a bit better though considering it's one of the outside favourites, according to the bookies.

I'm quite okay with all three of these exiting. Lithuania's song in particular is a damn mess. I have no idea where the f**k the vocal melody is trying to go, and that national final performance is an out-of-tune trainwreck. :sip2:

Actually the chorus of the Lithuanian song has been hauting me Those yeah yeah's and the singer looks a bit like Little My from Moomin.
