Eesti Laul has not produced a great winner in the last few years and 'Bridges' follows the same tune.
Had it been in Semi-Final 1, qualification would have been an uphill. However, Semi-Final 2 is turning to one of the weakest Semi-Finals in history and Estonia, one way or the other, will find its way to the Final.
What happens there is a different story. This is a jury friendly song but not one of those that will force the jurors to vote for it. Some low scores and a few neighbour votes might be enough to save it from finishing Bottom-5.
Televoting wise, this is not a bad entry, but would you vote for your 8th-10th favorite song?
'Bridges' might have some luck for a middle table result if they finish 3rd-4th in the Semi-Final which is not that farfetched with the current line-up, and they get a decent draw in the Final.
For me this is an entry that shouts 18th-22nd.
It reminds me of...
Estonia '12, Greece '15, Poland '17, Georgia '17
Televoting Potential: 6.5/10
Jury Potential: 7/10
Staging Potential: 7/10
Momentum: 6.5/10
My Opinion: 6.5/10
Total: 33.5/50
What the fair winning chance % would be?
0.01% - 0.25%
Best case scenario:
13th-16th
Worst case scenario:
Non qualification
To Qualify or Not to Qualify? That's the question...
65% to qualify
What do I see in my crystal ball?
A strong finish near Top-3 in the Semi-Final and then used as a filler in the Final, finishing 18th-22nd.
