Personal Opinion - Malta and Albania won't be in the top 10

Re-uploaded since the mods took the post down because I didn't specify it is personal opinion in my title


Really unpopular opinion on some of the takes and I will get down voted over this on this subreddit but these are my unpopular (and some popular) predictions:

Malta I think will qualify to the grand final but it will have an Efendi - Mata Hari affect. I loved that song and it did surprisingly lower than what people expected.

Albania will be on the right side of the board if it makes it to the final. It 100% doesn't stand a chance at winning the whole thing. To me, it is not a definite qualifier even, the song isn't as approachable on a casual viewer's perspective but that could be just my personal opinion because I didn't connect to the song at all. The lead singer's vocals are good and I liked the dance moves but the part where she goes to play with the drum stick and the guy comes in was.. not good. Also, anything other than the chorus seems a bit underwhelming. Albania seems more of a gåte situation to me, though gåte was a lot less radio friendly. I don't mean to offend the zjerm fans, a part of me does understand the hype after having had multiple listens but the other is like... Eh...

Germany is absolutely horrible this year, I personally thought the studio version was ok but the live was really bad. I think Germany will also be on the right side of the board at the final.

UK once again overrates itself and then is surprised about the lower final rating. It will also be on the right side of the board if not last. It's definitely not a Sam Ryder situation.

On the bright side of unpopular predictions, I think Italy might be in the top 10. Why? Because after listening through all of the songs, it was one of the few I thought "alright, it's actually nice to listen to". I'm not a ballad/slower song fan usually.

Not an unpopular opinion but I love Sweden. I think it could win but I also think Austria or France could take the crown. Personally, I'd be rooting for Austria since Sweden had lots of victories already and I enjoy Austria too, regardless of the high-pitched vocals. The only thing that bugged me was the fast-paced ending at the end. But the melody of the song is nice.

I would wish Israel wouldn't even make it to top 10, nonetheless top 5 but I think it will because it's Israel. Also not an unpopular opinion.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk. I wonder if anyone out there also has a similar perspective on these things or if people are going to argue against it. Either way, if you made it this far, welcome!
