Maybe 2nd.

Ukraine will win.

I recon we'll come somewhere in the top .... hmmmm ... i'm going to say 12.

InChocolateWeTrust · 14/05/2022 17:46

Ukraine will win.

SpindleWick · 14/05/2022 17:47

The UK will do better than last year.

Oysterbabe · 14/05/2022 17:48

I haven't seen any of the entries except UK and I'm so excited 😁

ilovesooty · 14/05/2022 17:48

They may well score highly in the televote. Can't see the juries going for them.

Leafyhouse · 14/05/2022 17:48

Definitely Ukraine to win. It's nothing to do with music, always to do with the politics.

I think something may have gone wrong with their translation app Smile
Very entertaining though.

Cakecakecheese · 14/05/2022 17:49

I love Wolf Banana. I do think Ukraine will win though.

One of the songwriters is English! Ben from 90s Boyband A1.

If Ukraine wins then I don't mind it not being about music this time...

A poke in the eye to Putin sounds perfect!

anonacfr · 14/05/2022 17:59

To be fair the Ukraine entry is quite good. I like the mix of folk instruments and rap.
The latest Reddit controversy was that Russian hackers were going to sabotage voting so that Ukraine couldn't win.

Spot on. It's political most years anyway but at least it will be for the right reasons this year.

travailtotravel · 14/05/2022 18:00

It's my fave too! Proper nonsense. Love it.

purplesky18 · 14/05/2022 18:02

Ok I am a massive Eurovision super fan, I really truly believe Ukraine won’t win, they will come 2nd or 3rd. I believe this simply because we under estimate those that don’t particular agree with what’s going on, don’t support them or simply don’t think they should get a sympathy vote. I think it’s going to be between uk, Sweden, Spain and Italy. That’s just my take on events however!

Pixiedust1234 · 14/05/2022 18:02

Nope, second. Ukraine will win. Not even heard any of them.

SheWoreYellow · 14/05/2022 18:02

I’ll be be voting for Ukraine and also Serbia! (Crazy hand washing lady.)

SpindleWick · 14/05/2022 18:02

If Ukraine win, I wonder if it will be able to be hosted in Kyiv next year. That's so sad to even have to think about.

FAQs · 14/05/2022 18:04

I thought there was an unwritten agreement for Ukraine to win, although where would they host it? Happy to chip in to funds if they win and need it.

AchatAVendre · 14/05/2022 18:04

Its not a great song though, although its a great act. Another poster on a previous post made a point about lower key songs all winning of late. I don't know enough about music to suggest which songs meet this criteria, but I know the UK's doesn't.

Ukraine bound to win, Sweden will finish second and I think they have already agreed to host Ukraine win.

UK maybe third, Norway fourth, Spain fifth.

SpottyStripyDuvet · 14/05/2022 18:06

Norway is my favourite. I have listened to it about 20 times since the semi final on Tuesday!

I think the UK could be an option. Or Germany. If Australia win those are who have offered to host on their behalf so a similar thing would happen if necessary.

SpindleWick · 14/05/2022 18:15

As discussed on another thread, Sweden is a rip-off of Gaga's 'Shallow'. I mean, a proper copy of the chorus.

Laiste · 14/05/2022 18:18

AchatAVendre UK 3rd you think?

Hmmm. I don't think we'll do that well. A lot better than last year i recon, but they haven't quite finished punishing us i don't think😂

Laiste · 14/05/2022 18:19

I hope bloody Amanda what's her face isn't allowed within a million miles of a mic this year!🙄

Bryonny84 · 14/05/2022 18:19

I think Ukraine will get all the points and win. Eurovision is always political voting anyway. The UK entry is reasonable but yet again, I think we'll bomb.
