My bet is on Iveta Mukuchyan. PS. Can song titles be more archetypical?

Need some help. This is bugging me. The Polish guy. The Oh oh oh oh chorus bit sounds like a 70]s disco tune, but I can't put my finger on it. Anyone? edit: got it! It's the violin break from Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive

I have got about halfway through & had to take a break before I kicked a cat or worse.
Currently I think this one is the one I'd tip

Sounds like a remix of Another One Bites The Dust with a dose of funky INXS sprinkled on it. Get past those trumpets & you can forgive the Tiffany wannabe singing it, Smiley isn’t she?
Nice departure from all the dour ballady sh!te they're pedalling again this year.

I also find that Russian guy's choreography highly entertaining!

Georgia and Latvia are probably my favourites - out of the songs that got into the final. It's a shame Montenegro didn't make it, I didn't expect them to since their song was very not-so-Eurovision, but I loved it. Israel's pretty good, too. Also, I'm quite proud of Poland this year, which is a new thing

The dream had to end
The wish never came true
And the girl starts to sing

Seventeen seconds
A measure of life

Russia are currently favourites & I really don't get why.
Sounds like a Muse song with the guitars removed from the mix. & the first 2 lines of the chorus are some of the laziest lyric writing I ever heard.

Georgia are least favourite, which I sort of expected, seeing as it's actually a proper, genuine, you know, ....song.
My tip is still Belgium to win. The song is fun & Europe could really do with something happy in its sorry state right now
