In 2022, the Ukrainian group Kalush Orchestra had won all the points (631) and had propelled itself to first place in the singing competition. Who will dethrone Ukraine this year? For several days now, the forecasts made by betting takers have been camped on the same five candidates.
Ukraine, France and Spain in the top 5
The singer Blanca Paloma, who competes for Spain, manages to reach the top of the basket. Given fifth in the ranking, the Spanish artist is in a fragile position, closely followed by candidates from Israel and Norway. his piece Heywith Iberian accents whose clip plays on shadow and light, is a tribute to her grandmother and to the power of the bond between women.
As far as France is concerned, it is the Quebec artist La Zarra, a glamorous and mysterious character, and her electropop title Obviouslywhich represents the country.
Ukraine and electro duo Tvorchi, a Ukrainian-Nigerian group, occupy the last place in the top 3 with their song Heart of Steel.
Sweden and Finland big favorites
In second place of the estimates, we find Finland, and the exuberant rapper Käärijä. Always decked out in a neon green puffer jacket with peaks, or rather its sleeves, platform boots and leather pants. The 29-year-old singer chooses eccentricity… And rock’n’roll, with the title Cha cha cha, a mix of electric guitar, rap and hip-hop. The Finn still remains far behind the Swedish artist, but makes an impression with his bowl cut and his originality.
Already big winner of the 2012 edition, the representative of Sweden will probably do it again this year. Loreen and her title Tattoo have a 45% chance of winning Eurovision 2023. Playing on a horizontal staging, lying on stage between two screens of light, the 39-year-old performer uses the power of his voice to support the emotion of his words .
Which countries will compete against the favourites?
Among the finalists, the Czech Republic, Moldova, Israel, Switzerland, Croatia, Portugal, Serbia and Norway are strong contenders. These artists join the benches of the selected, already occupied by France, Spain, Italy, Germany and the United Kingdom, the five main financial contributors to the EBU (European Broadcasting Union), organizer of the event. And by Ukraine, thanks to their victory last year.
