I note uk finished top of junior eurovision
televoting. We havnt done so well in eurovision televoting although last year was a big step in right direction. Being at home next year (2023), if they pick a decent song I could see us do well,as we don't seem to be hated quite so much. |

Eurovision 2023: John Lydon's Public Image Ltd could represent Ireland
Public Image Ltd - the band John Lydon formed after the Sex Pistols split in 1978 - is in the running to represent Ireland at the Eurovision Song Contest. The song, called Hawaii, is described as "a love letter to Lydon's wife of nearly five decades who is living with Alzheimer's." Irish broadcaster RTÉ has announced the band will compete with five other acts for the title in a TV show next month. This year's Eurovision is taking place in Liverpool in May. Hawaiii "is dedicated to everyone going through tough times on the journey of life," Lydon said. "It's also a message of hope that ultimately love conquers all." Public Image Ltd's current line-up is John Lydon, Lu Edmonds, Scott Firth and Bruce Smith. |

Not seeing any winner material out yet. Can't see an angle for any of them. Ukraine's song is incredibly weak, and I don't think the support will be as big as last time, but they always have a chance.
Sweden at 10s is a gamble, but I can only see Loreen coming back if she has a great song, so could be a good play. |

Ukraine has just now shortened to 2.30. Are people expecting a huge televote win for Ukraine again?
|
By:
The thing is, there is basically zero competition at the moment. If the war continues, and it looks like it, then they will get a default win. Crazy short though.

Gone in on Frac at 48s and will keep nibbling higher prices. I like La Zarra and the songwriters have created some big hits. It's a risk, of course, but it should be professional and get a big jury score.

By:
Norways's Queen of Kings is actually right up my alley, and I've been blasting it in the gym. However, her live vocals seem shakey, and not sure how well they will be received by juries. However, Switzerland did pretty well with 'she got me' in 2019 - there's nothing like Soldi or Duncan Laurence so far.

The press reaction on hearing the full songs of Melfest Heat 4 were very strong positive regarding Loreen and Tattoo which seems to caused the price crash on Sweden's odds to 6.0
A couple of commentsor: from Ben Robertson on Twitter: Loreen - Tattoo BPM (Beats per minute): 150 There are Euphoria elements. The way the song starts, the way it builds, the way the chorus absolutely destroys and the production blows EVERYTHING away. I hear Cazzi and Jimmie Joker and just wow. My #melfest no.1 Sounds like: We need to prebook Globen An Excerpt of Schlagerprofilerna's review of "Tattoo": Do you remember that classic boat horm sound from the beginning of Euphoria? Here it's a clattering sound that seamlessly flows into an ABBA verse. Yes. ABBA. The verses are Euphoria meets Björn & Benny meets 2023. And forget Statements. This is the true sequel to Euphoria. Undoubtedly. [...] If we send something else to Liverpool we are idiots. If Loreen does win Melfest the odds on Sweden will no doubt crash speeding towards odds on. |
