EV - Eurovision Song Cont - International - Eurovision Song Contest
The Eurovision Song Contest 2021 is set to be the 65th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. The contest will be held in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, following the country's victory at the 2019 contest with the song "Arcade" by Duncan Laurence. The Netherlands was due to host the 2020 contest, before it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It will be the fifth time that the Netherlands hosts the contest, the last time having been the 1980 contest.
Unlike 2019, there isn't a strong favourite (so far) this year. Switzerland took the lead first but later Malta became the favourite. Let's have a look to the pretentious contenders this year..
Gjon's Tears will represent Switzerland. Tout L'Universe is my favourite song in the contest, to be honest. If I was the jury, I would give the trophy to Gjon rightaway. However, the juries are not alone; there's also public vote. This song is a masterpiece in my opinion, However I'm afraid this is not an accessible song like Arcade. Gjon will do well with juries but public vote is a big question mark. Still, Gjon is a strong contender, without doubt.
Destiny will represent Malta with song ''Je Me Casse''. Destiny is a charismatic singer. Je Me Casse is a uptempo, catchy song with female empowerment message. The song is okay but it doesn't give ou any goosebumps. This is not Netta, This is not Toy. Malta will flop.
Victoria will represent Bulgaria with song ''Growing up is growind old''. I see Victoria in Top 5, maybe top 3. If she can manage to create a dreamy atmosphere like Salvador, definetely she may have a serious chance for the win. Song gives me goosebumps but I'm afraid it's not good enough to be winner. Maybe 2nd or 3rd, why not?
Barbara Pravi will represent France with song ''Voila''. What an amazing performance. This song gives me goosebumps! Not only it's a very jury-friendly song, also public will LOVE it! This song makes you want to send vote for her. This song is purely magical. I can sense a similarity between her song and Salvador Sobral's. If she can create a dreamy scene, she will become the favourite without doubt.
About others,
Italy is fun, unusual but too messy to be winner. Still, gets a top place iny my playlist. Iceland's song is fun but not something special, it will get smashed by the juries. About The Roop (Lithuania) the only thing I like about them is their dance. Cyprus can be Fuego v2. 0 this year but I see France more stronger.
If I was going to pick a dark horse, definetely my pick would be Cyprus or Finland.
Anyway, I'm expecting France to win this year. My Eurovision is 4-0. Let's make it 5-0 this year!
