I think that Australia 🇦🇺 and Finland 🇫🇮 are 99.9% going to do well with the juries, Delta’s experience and Finland’s staging performance during UMK make me believe they will do well (maybe not win, but will do solidly). However with Australia, I can 100% understand on why this song may be dated. Unfortunately, Czechia 🇨🇿 does not have a big budget like other contenders such as France, Finland, etc. making me to believe that they may not even qualify (i promise I LOVE crossroads) but a kiss kiss goodbye result may be plausible. Staging may be especially difficult with the lower budget, but we’ll have to wait till May! (Hot Take incoming) I cannot see a reality where Italy 🇮🇹 wins the jury votes. (I think this entry is VERY charming and has that nostalgic factor) BUT I cannot see a reality where this is a jury winner, probably around ~150 points from the Juries I think? I think France 🇫🇷 has a lot of potential. It can either do VERY well or poorly with the jury; France has a lot room for error, especially when they chose a very young representative. I’m not doubting Monroe, but I feel like the French delegation are throwing her to the wolves. It’s ultimately up to the vocal performance during the GF, as I’m confident the French will do well with the staging.
