Eurovision 2015: get ready for the Final!

Tonight we will now who will succeed to Conchita as the winner of the biggest musical contest in the world.
After two semifinals with some controversies, we can say a lot about the final.



Song's alignment

Unlike some previous years, this year the raffle was only to know in which part of the final the song will perform.
Last year Austria broke the coincidence of the winning song being from the 2nd half of the final. Tonigth we could have the same situation with Sweden performing in 10th place. However the attentions go to the 25th place for Russia and the last place to Iatly, with some people arguing that it was a shamless way to favour Russia and Italy. However, in some cases performing last didn't help the entry: it worked in the opposite way. Last year the United Kingdom was one of the favourites and finished in the 17th, with many people arguing that performing last was prejudicial for Molly.

Favourites

Italy and Sweden remain in the group of the possible winners. Sweden is now the favourite and Russia increased its favouritism since Polina's performance on the semifinal. The same happened with Serbia and latvia that, after the semi-finals are now on the TOP 10 in the bets. Spain and especially Slovenia are now out of the Top10. But like befora we can have a surprise. There is no stand out song that remains an unquestionable possible winner.
A especial mention to our guest, Australia, that is among the 10 favourites!

Less Favoutrites

Even after the qualification, there are some songs that the people predict that will end in the bottom 5: and some of them many people think that didn't deserve to be in the final. I'm talking especially about Poland, Hungary, Lithuania and Armenia. Even not receiving bad reacts Montenegro is also between the less favourites.

Controversies

It seems that we will not have the same problem with Russia as we had last year. The Polina's declarations first supporting Conchita's victory and later supporting all the forms of love surely made a better impression in the media and in the public oppinion.
The controversies around Armenia and Poland remains, and around Armenia will be more difficult since tonight Armenia and Azerbaijan will be and act in the same show.
After Krista in 2013 and especially after a victory of a drag queen last year, the two same-sex kisses in the lithuanian entry will not have a huge impact.

As usually, Eurovision can't please to everyone! But let's hope the best performance to win!!!
