Just when EBU thought that everything goes back to normal, 🇳🇱 withdrawal added more fuel on the fire.
Will more countries follow? What happens next year now that a bloc of countries stated that this was not a one off situation?
#Eurovision #Eurovision2027
🇳🇱 NPO has officially confirmed that the Netherlands will not take part in #Eurovision 2027, citing “insufficient support” for participation in next year’s contest.
🇵🇹 Portugal holding the record for the highest score in #Eurovision history. 🇧🇬 Bulgaria holding the record for the biggest winning margin.
Who had BOTH on their bingo card 10 years ago? 😂
Eurovision never stops surprising us!

Who might be at risk of an early bath on #Strictly tomorrow night & how has the Winner market changed following week 1? entertainmentodds.com/a/stri…
🇳🇱🇧🇪 in for #Eurovision2027! I expect 🇮🇸🇸🇮 to take the same route leaving 🇪🇦🇮🇪 on a sabbatical (no pun intended)...
Good news for 🇮🇱 PV voting and for #Eurovision Semi Finals that will have more entries lifting the quality level a bit
Totally unnecessary move from RAI. Just a reminder that 🇮🇹' s weakest reults since their return in '11 were the ones that were not connected to the #SanRemo winner/process.
If it aint break broke, don't fix it...
#Eurovision
🇮🇹 Rai has published the regulations for #Sanremo2027, with new details on the "Performance" night to select Italy's #Eurovision representative.
🔹 All 24 acts to compete
🔸 50/50 international jury/televote
🔹 Result of the night won't count towards the festival's final ranking
Part 2 of my resolutions ahead of #Eurovision2027 is here!
Winners, Top 3/5/10 predictions and a head to head comparison vs The Model

Happy #Eurovision2027 season everyone!
Early thought #1
Could 🇨🇦 debut impact the Jury impact of 🇦🇺 and the Nordics receiving a newcomer's boost?
#Eurovision
They can then cancel Public vote all together because with that system, the Jury winner will always be the winner.
Ask public to vote for their Top-10 or vote at least 3 countries with a maximum of 10 votes.
Opting for the Top-3 opens the gates for cancel votes.
#Eurovision
Big voting changes on the horizon! 🚨 Based on a letter sent to the broadcasters, plans include transitioning fully to online voting and requiring voters to pick their top three favorite acts instead of voting for a single song multiple times #Eurovisiongr eurovisionfun.com/en/2026/08…

So what was my prediction/projection for 🇧🇬 in the final week?
On my SF-2 preview I did mention that 🇧🇬 is a genuine dark horse...
#Eurovision #Eurovision2026
1/
Also the voting order clearly implied that whomever from the Balkan group was leading, would get the final jury boost.
#Eurovision #Eurovision2026
3/
And finally not only did I tip their win @ 16.5 but I also tipped their Top-4 @ 3.40 the day of the Final.
For the number lovers, that's 70% better returns that betting 🇫🇮 to win @ 2...🇧🇬 chasing 4 spots, 🇫🇮 chasing 1...

The new trend that has arisen in the last 2 #Eurovision editions and is responsible for the low Jury scores is Js blanking the actual Jury Top-3 in their Top-3
'26: 12/35
'25: 9/37
'24: 3/37
'23: 3/37
In '26 we also had 17 Js that had only 1/3 Top-3 songs in their Top-3!
1/2
That is 17/87 Jury Top-3 entries inluded in 29 different Juries
The only country that had all J Top-3 in their actual Top-3?...
🇮🇱...
#Eurovision
In case you have not noticed, the only Western countries in the Pv Top-14 were
🇫🇮 8th
🇦🇺 9th
🇩🇰 11th.
The rest are East and South Europe
Youtube views and IG likes were the only reliable sources of the putcome again but disregarded by the market as noise...
