I think the Ukrainian entry would do well regardless of what’s happening outside the contest. It’s a pretty good song on its own merits.
Ukraine is usually pretty consistent in sending quality songs to Eurovision, anyway.

I'd be happy with the UK just making double figures.

We won't, it's not an interesting song. We're going to go through the same 'Oh noes, they all hate us! Anti British bias! End Eurovision!!!1' crap yet again where we finish bottom four because we keep entering songs that appeal to people who don't watch the contest rather than people who do.
I don't give a crap that he's an 'influencer' or whatever, I wouldn't vote for him based on the song he's singing and i doubt many others will either because it's so very middle of the road. We do quirky like few other nations, we do amazing pop too, yet we keep entering the same vaseline flavoured ear porridge because people who watch reality TV like that sort of thing, not the people who watch and care enough to vote.

Ah yes the Eurovision song contest where my country Ireland have won 7 times but not for over twenty years now.

Italy’s was pretty good, a decent Hozier style deep longing ballad.
I barely know anything about Eurovision except for the time that metal band from I think Finland had that Hard Rock Hallelujah banger.

Ireland need to qualify on Thursday night to the final on Sunday and from the one listen of our entry it sounded okay but the way the voting goes we haven’t a hope of winning.

Betting odds have Ukraine as the overwhelming favorite with Italy, Sweden, and the UK battling for the second spot. Spain rounds out the top 5.

I got a bet on while they were still 6/5 so hope they do, for other reasons to.

I'm not a betting man but I'm tempted to just put a months wages on Ukraine here.

Last year did give us Maneskin & that Finnish band that sounded like Linkin Park so wonder if we get any gems this year.
Also the U.K. being in the top 5 favourites sounds hilarious to me.

I was a huge fan of this song going into the contest. This is a good choice for the opener.

You will either find Latvia amusing or annoying. There is no middle ground.
