  1. I think the bookies have got this one very wrong – despite the annual narrative of “political” voting the results over the years suggest factors outside the song contest don’t particularly boost countries which are suffering or even damage countries inflicting the suffering. The jury will hold them back for sure, but I think votes for favourites on the night in most countries will outweigh anyone voting out of sympathy.

    P.S. I know they show it live now but surprised SBS haven’t switched the primetime semi-final airings to the same nights by now.

  2. If Australia is ranked 13th then the other acts must be pretty bad! Sheldon’s song is not a Eurovision song. It’s a nice enough song but totally wrong for Eurovision!! It was not Australia’s choice!! It was not the choice of the Australian people who were mostly denied the opportunity to vote as a result of SBS’s controversial voting! It is the poor choice of a couple of people who made up the jury. Hopefully the bookmakers ha ve stuffed up and there are lots of great songs!!!

    1. It’ll be a landslide on the public vote. Whether they win will depend mostly on the juries.

      The juries will I’m sure be under very strict instructions to vote on the music/song, and not let any political sentiment enter into their decision.

      The public on the other hand can’t be as easily controlled. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the majority of 10/12 public vote points to Ukraine and very little from the juries.
