Currently, in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, Latvian performance Samanta Tīna and her team are honing their performance for the composition “The Moon is Rising”. We will see him on the big stage of “Eurovision” in the second semi-final on May 20, and “Delfi” will offer readers a live broadcast of the text, as well as detailed analytics.
It must be said that the fans of “Eurovision” and also the bookmakers do not predict the victory of our Samantai in the competition, but we do not give up hope.
In addition, it turns out that this year could be special in that one specific favorite will not have crystallized until the final, so let’s find out who are the main contenders for winning this year’s competition.
Switzerland
Albanian-born singer Gjon Muharremay with the stage name ‘Gjon’s Tears’ is definitely among the top favorites to win the competition for a number of reasons. the song will be judged by the jury, as it is known that only half of the points in the competition are awarded to the audience, the other half is in the hands of a professional jury. Another important point in favor of the Swiss is Wouter Hardy, who also produced the previous ” Eurovision “winner Duncan Lawrence song” Arcade “.
Italy
Rock and roll and pyrotechnics will be Italian trumps this year in the fight for victory in the Grand Pop Olympics and although Italy has always been among the main favorites, this year they stand out even more. In 2017, their local “X Factor” was inspired and second place went to the band “Måneskin”, which resembles the sounds of the beginning of the century with loud vocals, guitar sounds and challenging characters. Their victory in the Sanremo competition was considered a surprise by many, but now it seems that it was a logical result. They are now real stars in both Italy and Rotterdam, and it definitely helps. The song “Zitti e Buoni” should definitely be turned louder, if the neighbors on Saturday for some incomprehensible reason do not watch “Eurovision”.
In France
Growing up in a family of singers, the French representative Barbara Pravi will come to prove that everything ingenious is simple. Although many fans of “Eurovision” call this a boring and even sleepy song, there is no denying that it quickly falls on its head because of its sticky song. It is Voilà’s odds that bookmakers value the most. The secret of the song lies in the soloist’s excellent vocal skills, stable and convincing stage posture and song energy, which would not be as suitable for any other European country as for France. When you hear this song in a “playlist”, you might think that it is 50 to 70 years old, perhaps this is the trump card of this composition in relation to other songs. There will definitely be no indifference.
Malta
Among the competition favorites Malta has not bathed since 2005, but this time it can reasonably expect a very high place. Singer Destiny with the song “Je me casse” has been at the forefront of bookmakers’ predictions for months and also celebrated the victory in the vote of the official Eurovision fan clubs. In 2015, she won a junior at Eurovision, but a few years ago she celebrated her victory at Malta’s Factor X. It should be noted that she is only 18 years old, but success speaks for itself. Or in 2022 “Eurovision“will visit Malta for the first time? Very likely.
Lithuania
Although bookmakers are currently slightly below the top five in Lithuania, Vaidotas Valiukevičius and the group “The Roop” are the biggest hope in the Baltics. Extravagant style, unusual dance movements and excellent stage energy suggest that Lithuania this year will set its best result so far. One should praise their excellent PR, namely, Vilnius takes this very seriously and is already going to organize a huge disco in case the laurels are won. Shortly before going to Rotterdam, the group was also supported by Prime Minister Ingrid Šimonite, who chaired the government meeting in the group’s shirt. As the leader of the group recently admitted, many in Lithuania take “Eurovision” as seriously as basketball, and these are very loud words, knowing that basketball is just like a religion for the people. Admittedly, a year ago, when “Eurovision” was canceled, the chances of their song “On Fire” were rated much higher.
We remind you that the first semi-final of the 65th Eurovision Song Contest will start on Tuesday, May 18, but the representative of Latvia Samantas Tīna will take part in the second semi-final two days later – on the evening of May 20. The grand final with 26 member states is expected on Saturday at 10 pm Latvian time and will include the ten best songs from each semi-final, the composition of the organizing country and the “big five”.
