so goon vote aside, who do you think is going to actually win this year?

Ukraine as a sympathy vote makes sense, but the song seems like the kind of thing that typically gets no love from the juries

Seems like France could have a legit shot.

Most egregious is the 78 jury votes awarded to Switzerland

fwiw I don't think this is a good year to run a comparison between public and jury votes. In nearly all countries the public's 12 points went to Ukraine, and on a normal year this would not have happened. You can't expect the juries to give points out of sympathy, though - unless you can pay for their sympathy.

quote:

Moldova 239 (14 Jury votes)
Azerbaijan 3 (103 Jury votes)
Australia 2 (123 Jury votes)
Switzerland 0 (78 Jury votes)
