Predictions are flying in the Eurovision press room about the possible order of the winners in the Saturday night song contest.
People are talking about the Netherlands’ Duncan Laurence and his keyboard-playing rendition of “Arcade,” Italy’s Mahmood with “Soldi” and Sweden’s John Lundvik crooning “Too Late for Love.”
The surprise entry of North Macedonia’s Tamara Todevska (a four-time Eurovision contestant) singing “Proud” moved her higher up, followed by the Norwegian trio of KeiiNO and its “Spirit in the Sky,” Israel’s Kobi Marimi’s operatic “Home,” the boy band Luca Hanni from Switzerland and “She Got Me,” the sexy Tamta from Cyprus singing “Replay,” with Denmark’s Leonora singing “Love is Forever” and another surprise entry, Azerbaijan’s Chingiz singing “Truth.”
Australia’s Kate Miller-Heidke is another favorite, but fans keep on wondering if Eurovision could actually be held in Australia, which isn’t all that close to Europe.
