silver Posted March 26, 2022 Author Share Posted March 26, 2022 Well, I've listened again to Switzerland's entry, but although the words are quite touching, the song is so dreary. I don't think it will score very highly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Swiss entry sounds more like a movie soundtrack to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

virgi Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) Hi everyone! Since many MFC members are probably going to watch Eurovision this year, I’d like to introduce you to a ESC-related game that a group of Italian Sanremo fans have created and that had a huuuuge success during the last Sanremo festival. Apparently it started as a game between friends, but then many many people joined the game and they actually got sponsored by Sky and other important names. And so they decided to do it for Eurovision as well! It’s called FantaEurovision (FantaSanremo was the Sanremo version) and it’s like Fantasy football, but it’s completely free and open to everyone! You just need to register on their website and create a team of 5 ESC competing artists and choose a captain. Then, during ESC nights, you’ll receive points based on what your team’s artists do or say on stage. The competition is among all registered users but you can also create smaller competitions between friends - maybe we could create a MFC competition? Here’s their website https://fantaeurovision.com/eng/ and here’s the game rules in Italian, English, French (I actually did the French translation 🤪) and they’ll be soon available in Spanish and German as well : https://fantaeurovision.com/eng/rulebook I suggest you to read them, its really fun, you’ll see!

Anyway, you just have to register and create your own team (I think inscription will open this week). Then all the points will be awarded by the creators of the game after each night, so you only have to check on the website how you are ranked/how many points you got the next morning.

TinyLove_CJ Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Totally forgot that I haven't listened to the most recently shared songs 😅 I like Armenia's entry, quite a relatable song for me, but I think Israel's entry is my new favourite! If they copy the music video on stage I can definitely see it appealing to a lot of people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver Posted May 4, 2022 Author Share Posted May 4, 2022 I'm coming down to Greece, Poland, Sweden and Ukraine. I think Ukraine will probably win the popular vote. Italy are apparently second favourites, though I don't rate the song at all My personal favourite is Greece, I hope it makes the top 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver Posted May 9, 2022 Author Share Posted May 9, 2022 UK viewers can't vote in tomorrow's semi final but I hope Greece and Ukraine go through. The first semi is quite strong, but I expect these to get through to the final: Armenia, Greece, Portugal, Ukraine, Norway (alas), and probably Netherlands, Switzerland. Take your pick from the rest (though the Moldovan song is so mad it might pick up votes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver Posted May 9, 2022 Author Share Posted May 9, 2022 I should point out that I am pretty rubbish at picking Eurovision winners You never know how the juries will judge the songs or what criteria they use. And of course when it comes to the public vote, most of them will be hearing the songs for the first time. There's a tendency to be influenced by the staging rather than the song. Plus the age range of the audience comes into play so novelty songs tend to get high votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched the rehearsals of the first semifinal and I liked Greece, Armenia, Switzerland and Denmark the most. Also I like Moldova because that band is very ironic and crazy, they are famous for their shows. And Ukraine should have a place in the final without questions, would be a symbolic declaration.
