The 68th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest kicks off tomorrow in Malmo, Sweden. Here's the playlist of this year's competing entries. The semi-finals will air Tuesday and Thursday, leading to Saturday's grand final. Luxembourg will compete in the contest for the first time since 1993. The Big 5 countries + Sweden will perform during the semi-finals. This is a highly contentious year for um . . . reasons we can't discuss here.

Winning odds have hovered around Croatia, Switzerland, Italy, and Ukraine. A strong outside chance of France winning as well.
This is a pretty wide open year.

I always love Eurovision. It's always fun to listen and see what they come up with. I understand that a lot of things outside their control are going to play into it, though.

Aaaaannnd Ireland just entered the top 5 in the betting odds. Holy shit. I’d say the RTE top brass are shitting themselves as they may possibly have to host it next year. I will say that the production this year for the Irish entry is very unlike RTE.

My predictions for the Big 5 and Sweden:
France: Potential winner. Slimane vocally crushes the song. If it doesn't win the whole thing, I can definitely see it winning the jury vote.
Germany: I think they'll avoid last place this year, but not by much. The staging is cool, but the song is basic and Isaak doesn't have much charisma.
Italy: Potential winner. I love this song and Angelina Mango delivers. It may not win the jury or public vote, but still get enough from each to put it in the winner's circle.
Spain: Potential last place, sadly. I actually like the song, but it's just not a competitive entry at all.
Sweden: The staging is so damn cool. It's a competent entry and that's about it. Top 10-15 result is highly possible.
UK: Not a winner, but the staging is incredible and Olly is a charismatic performer. Like Sweden, top 10-15 result is highly possible.

Cyrpus is a bop, but the staging and performance are kinda generic.

Beautiful staging from Serbia. Teya’s vocals are pretty good as well.

Imagine telling someone a year ago Croatia would be a serious contender to win the contest.

Iceland is radiating with strong non-qualifier energy.

I know Finland’s entry has its fans, but I’m not one of them.

I actually liked Moldova! Just not sure if it’s enough to qualify.

The song isn’t bad, but it feels like Azerbaijan doesn’t care about Eurovision anymore.

Portugal’s song isn’t exactly my thing, but it’s well-done all-around.
