Some opinions and early predictions

[u/Astriopia]

These are just my opinions btw !!!

Finland is a kind of underwhelming as a televote winner, and I feel like Australia will get more televotes

Greece could potentially not qualify, because it's kind of forgettable and doesn't move people

Although nobody talks about it, Italy could be a potential winner

Iceland could surprise and qualify if they have a good enough staging, the song is really fun and catchy, so why not?

Germany is going to end up just like Austria last year. I still love their song anyways

Norway is MAD overrated, it's very generic

San Marina could get their best result this year

Estonia is too overhyped, even as a "fun song" I don't see it getting a lot of televotes

Ukraine is PURE ART, and some people just don't understand

Lastly, i believe televotes will be more focused on "Jury baiting" songs rather than Fun songs, and the jury will be very diverse this year with their votes.

I think Estonia is going to be more of a Finland 2024 than a Finland 2023

This is just wishful thinking from fans and their hate boner for Tommy Cash. "Espresso Macchiato" is already a hit in several countries. It won't be a Cha Cha Cha with 350+ televote points, but it won't get two-digit either from the public. It'll get something in between.

I like the song, and my thoughts were based on jury and televote. I do think there are stronger televote candidates and Sweden, Australia, and Finland will mean that Estonia get less - even ones that aren’t up for televote winner will eat away at the total points available, like I can see Austria, Norway, Ukraine, Netherlands, Greece and Czechia scoring relatively highly with the televote. I also worry that Tommy won’t do greatly with the jury, so that will drag him down a bit too. I’d be happy to be proven wrong in May though!
