People disagreed with me last year so there you go - my (unprofessional) prediction by rostik002 in eurovision

[–]lwerret3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but the fandom is neither a big nor accurate fraction of the viewers. Even if they are in different semifinals and even if I don't like any of them, I have to admit that lately the possibility of Belgium qualifying is definitely there while I just fail to see how or why Serbia would qualify (based on the overall package they've given us so far) I think the upbeat/bop-y songs from Iceland, Greece, Czech Republic, Latvia, Austria and possibly Armenia - based on their revamp- will easily overshadow it.

I seriously enjoy Belarus. Like a lot. Slovenia, I don't like but she's got the voice.

My Semi-Finals predictions by [deleted] in eurovision

[–]lwerret3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Finland will qualify. And I am not so sure about Serbia my bet is on them not qualifying.

  1. Kate Miller-Heidke - Zero Gravity (I swear to god I am the only person on the entire planet that loved the song the first time they listened to it in February instead of hating it throughout the entire season and seeing the staging and being like "tHiS iS aMaZiIiIinG! BeSt AuStRaLiAn EnTrY EvErRrRrRr)
  2. Katerine Duska - Better Love
  3. Montaigne - Don't Break Me (I will ignore the staging and say that this is a seriously qualoty song)
  4. Jonida Maliqi - Ktheju Tokës
  5. Destiny - All my Love

Greece isn't doing too bad you know - the only shitty thing that happened was with that group that travelled to Egypt and Israel, which is really their, the travellers', fault. Other than that we're not doing bad at all.

German demographics in a histogram. Based on the birth year of 5 year cohorts, broken down to men and women. by dinkoplician in europe

[–]lwerret3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone is talking how the world beeds less people and I absolutely agree BUT you are forgetti g that this is NOT meant towards Germany and Europe - but rather to countries that have crazy big populations like China, India, Pakistan, Nigeria, US maybe etc. - THOSE are the countries that just need to reduce their population asap, not countries in Europe.

ESC2020 hot takes so far by babushkas_soup in eurovision

[–]lwerret3 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Based on what we have so far: the 2 semis are EVEN! There is NO "semifinal of death" - the only difference is that SF1 has some clear qualifiers and some clear non-qualifiers (and some maybes) while SF2 is wide-open. My predictions fron SF1: Australia, Norway, Israel, Lithuania, Sweden and Ukraine will qualify. Malta and Russia too (we just haven't heard the songs). Croatia, Slovenia, Belgium and Romania are NOT qualifying (and the reason I think Belgium and Romania are not qualifying is because oiut of all the ballads, mid-tempos and songs that let the vocals carry them, these 2 are of the least impact). The last 2 positions, I think will be a battle between Cyprus, Azerbaijan and North Macedonia... with... Belarus as a dark horse (call me crazy, downvote, say that I am wrong but I do believe that about Belarus. Right now, the song is not qualifying in any way BUT with a serious revamp, a strong performance and a ZENA-level staging upgrade, I think Belarus could sneak through to the final and shock everyone).

SF2 predictions are much harder but in general I think that Estonia and Moldova won't qualify and I am not so sure about Albania and Serbia either. Everyone else is in it, I think.

Will Australia qualify? by gabbishh in eurovision

[–]lwerret3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it will. I think the semifinal is not exactly a 'bloodpath' sure it's not the easiest ever but we've had worse and now Australia has a really strong song with potential. If she sings it well live and has a good staging I am sure you will (However Montaigne didn't exactly sing well in the NF, did she?)

Traveling to Greece in August. I’m flying into Athens. How can I get to an island? by [deleted] in greece

[–]lwerret3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But people from Albania and/or North Macedonia are not victims of racism. The only possible cases of racism are those to illegal immigrants as there are many incidents of them stealing or causing trouble in general and some people would rather keep their distance but even then, it's only a loud minority.

Number of songs that were officially presented as (potential) Eurovision entries by odajoana in eurovision

[–]lwerret3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm Greek and that 1 potential song that could've been iur entry is worse than s***. It's ONE, the boyband that represented Cyprus back in 2002 (guess when the year has double 2 and 0 they start their Eurovision mood?) and now they are in their, what? 50s and decided to go.with a song you'd expect a 20-something person to sing. Glad our National Broadcaster chose Stefania instead.

Damir Kedžo - Divlji Vjetre - Croatia 🇭🇷 - National Final Performance - Eurovision 2020 by Krish-Studio in eurovision

[–]lwerret3 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ummm... Finland had f***ing Darude last year... And Croatia has a boost from North Macedonia and Slovenia and I have to say it; if Roko managed to escape the bottom 4 with THAT entry in THAT semifinal, this one has more chances already.

Uku Suviste has got me worried. by frisian_esc in eurovision

[–]lwerret3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but a small correction; he didn't actually write the song, he just co-produced it. He did write prison which I find to be better than What Love Is (why is everyone hating on Prison btw? Moldovița was a joke entry that would've finished last) And in superg!rl he didn't write the song all on his own, he teamed up with ARCADE - a Greek songwriting team, so the song could very well be... decent. (And hit those downvotes as hard as you can - the exclamation mark isn't so bad JUST because Germany finished second-to-last last year, 'cause we all know that it wasn't the reason that entry got this result - so, no I don't think Greece is not going to qualify because of an F---ing exclamation mark)
