The 67th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest starts this week! Boy, time flies. It feels like just yesterday Kalush Orchestra won the contest for Ukraine. However, since Ukraine is unable to host, the United Kingdom will host in Liverpool. The schedule will be as follows: Semi Final 1: Tuesday, May 9 Semi Final 2: Thursday, May 11 Grand Final: Saturday, May 13 Additionally, there are two big voting changes this year: - The semi final results will be decided by popular vote only, no juries.
- Non-participating countries from across the globe will be allowed to vote under the "Rest of the World" category.
It's time to witness 37 countries battle it out for the coveted douze points!

Hopefully the U.K. can have a great showing again this year. If they get the song right again.

Our entry this year is much weaker than Sam Ryder's last year.
If Ukraine win, we should hold next year's contest in Britain again.

I think there's a good chance the UK finishes in the top half of the field at least. The song is catchy and the staging looks good.
The top 5 in the betting odds right now, per Eurovision World: Sweden, Finland, France, Ukraine, Spain.

The UK entrant isn't bad for once, so it comes down to her performance on the night.
Norway is my dark horse favourite, it's just unusual and catchy enough to gain traction.

As it won’t be Ireland again this year, I hope it’s not Sweden as Ireland have one win more then Sweden and I’d like it to stay that way.

Although the “joke” about rte picking bad songs on purpose isn’t as funny as it was when that episode aired. Ireland haven’t been even close to winning since then.
