Marco Mengoni

he has a real chance to win the juries... but I guess the public vote will go towards Finland

Sweden will win, Finland will get screwed by the judges even if Kaarija wins the televote. Well every single reality competitions on TV besides The Amazing Race is rigged anyways.

This is shaping up to be The Nordics vs The Big 5.
My theory (based on my own superstition):


Norway - opening SF1
Sweden - SF1 11th spot
Finland - closing SF1
Denmark - opening SF2 (likely Not Qualifying)
Iceland - SF2 7th (borderline Not Qualifying)


Every Nordic countries in SF1 will advance while the Nordic countries in SF2 will be sent to the underworld, which is fitting since Australia, the land of Down Under closing the SF2.

So Sweden wins in the final since it's the only Nordic country that hasn't been in the opening or closing.


Marco isn't trying to win, probably a top 10 finish, and let's hope his shortened version of the song (because of the rule that every song has to be 3 minutes tops) still retain its quality. Usually in the past the chopped-up version is weaker. He's currently 13th in the odds.

I agree with your analysis :) Finland will get ignored by the juries... Marcos shorter version is actually ok - but like last year where Brividi already had done what the record company needed it to do chartwise - we see Marco on a almost sold out European tour and selling buckets in Italy - so they already met their initial goal, so yes the lust for winning is not really there. Comercial success is to prefer to winning the show.
 
Any updates on his sexuality? He seems gay/bi...but also, he's Italian lol
