Eurovision 2023: The First Impression: Azerbaijan

 

First Thoughts:

Azerbaijan! The country, the Eurovision myth! The main reason of the voting system changes in Semi - Finals after last year's fiasco.

Not only it was one of the six nations that tried to fix the jury results and exchange points between them, but they were also the first country in history to qualify in the Final without getting a single televote point and of course finishing last in that constituency in their Semi - Final, a record that cannot be broken anymore with a different voting system in place...

It feels like Azerbaijan is throwing a towel this year, sending an entry that is destined to be doomed, unless they have a budget for Sim cards in place...

The only realistic goal for 'Tell me More' is to avoid the last place and that will be a tough battle squeezed between Sweden and Czechia.

Avoiding Bottom-3 in Semi - Final will be mission completed. Qualification though, if it happens, will be one of the biggest surprises of all time.


It reminds me of...

Georgia '21, '22


Televoting Potential: 2/10

Jury Potential: 4/10

Staging Potential: 5/10

Momentum: 3/10

My Opinion: 4/10

Total: 18/50


What the fair winning chance % would be?

0.0001% - 0.001%

Best case scenario:

Avoid Bottom-3 in Semi - Final

Worst case scenario:

Last in Semi-Final

To Qualify or Not to Qualify? That's the question...

95+% not to qualify


What do I see in my crystal ball?

Azerbaijan saving Ireland from the third last place in the last four years...
