🇲🇪🇪🇺 BIG EUROVISION PREDICTION SURVEY 2025: MONTESONG RESULTS
Based on the predictions of Eurofans, I have simulated Montesong 2024 10000 times. These predictions and simulations allow us to get a solid picture of each entry's chances at the competition. Let's go! (A thread 🧵)
As reflected in the winning chances, you believe "Dobrodošli" is by far the strongest entry in the selection, having both the highest predicted jury and tele score on average. While 8 of the entries have limited chances, the other 8 either do well with jury, tele or both
Just going by the averages, Nina sweeps, with jury and televote runners up Tamara and Isak coming 2nd and 3rd. However, this standard scenario is very unlikely, as entries will surely surprise on Wednesday. This diversity is reflected in the 10000 simulations, more on that later
So what are Montenegro's chances in Basel looking like? Let's take a look at the placement of each entry. Both scales go from 0 to 100. Anything placing below a tele score of 20 will likely fail to make the final, while anything placing above 35 will likely qualify
So while it's clear, that no entry seems to have winning potential reaching the 80's of a scale, Nina seems like a strong bet at qualifying, and getting a decent jury result. Isak, Baryak, Tamara, and Kejt also look like potential qualifier candidates
Let's now take a look at the details for each entry. For each song, I will show you the distribution of predictions for both Montesong and Eurovision, as well as the distribution of placements and points in Montesong across the 10000 simulations

SUPERNOVA 2025 SONGWRITER DEEP DIVE 🇱🇻🕸️📊
Our second set of songs of the season are out (at least in snippets)! And among the artists and writers we see many familiar faces, with 15/20 songs being connected to previous entries. Let's take a closer look (a thread 🧵)
Bel Tempo and Legzdina - "The Water"
Andis and Julijs are participating together as "Bel Tempo", but have previously authored songs for Supernova on their own, each reaching second place, Andis with "Heart Beats" and Julijs with "Hush"
Chris Noah - "Romance isn't Dead"
An important songwriter in the Baltics recently, Chris wrote Monika Linkyte's "Stay", and also worked on bangers like "Hush" and "Let Me Think About Me". This is his first involvement as a performer
FESTIVALI I KËNGËS 63 SONGWRITER DEEP DIVE 🇦🇱🕸️📊
The days are getting darker and FiK-mas is just around the corner! Of the 30 lineup, 22 songs have connections to other entries. Big names, new stars, seasoned songwriters, this has everything. Let's take a look (a thread 🧵)
Ardit Çuni - "Amane"
A newcomer to FiK himself, Ardit is helped by Stivi Ushe, who competed himself last year, with the dramatic ballad "Askush si ty". Also worth noting that in these graphs, songs are labelled by Eurovision year (so one year later than the FiK year)
Mal Retkoceri - "Antihero"
Last year's winner is back, again bringing a self-penned song. Will Mal be able to achieve succes again, and perhaps even the ticket to Basel?
BENIDORM FEST 2025 SONGWRITER DEEP DIVE 🕸️📊🇪🇸
One of the most anticipated national finals in recent years, BenidormFest is back once again. Of the 16 songs 8 have connections to previous entries in the world of Eurovision. Let's take a closer look (a thread 🧵) #BenidormFest2025
Celine Van Heel - "La casa"
While "La casa" will be Celine's first release, her team features clear Eurovision experience in the form of Alfred García, who represented Spain in Lisbon in 2018. On top of his entries from the 2018 selection, Alfred also took part in Benidorm 2023
David Afonso - "Amor barato"
True Junior Eurovision royalty involved here! Alejandro and Luis took Spain to second place last year in Nice, and are once again behind the Spanish JESC entry this time on home turf. "Amor barato" marks their first collaboration for the adult contest
JUNIOR EUROVISION 2024 SONGWRITER DEEP DIVE 🇪🇺📊🕸️
With less than 10 days to go, it's time to take a look at the teams behind each song. Though the artists have no previous involvement with Eurovision by nature, 14/17 songs have known Eurovision names behind them (A thread 🧵)
🇦🇱 Nikol Çabeli - "Vallëzoj"
Just like last year, Albania's entry was written by fan favourite writer Eriona Rushiti. She is known for succesful FiK entries like "Kthëju tokës", "Duje" and "Zjarri im". Also in the mix is JESC 2022-writer Endri Muçaj
🇦🇲 Leo - "Cosmic Friend"
Big names in the mix here, with the team behind "Qami Qami" and "Do It My Way" involved again. Maléna (Arpine Martoyan) won the contest herself in 2021, while Tokionine (David Badalyan) and Vahram Petrosyan have experience in the Armenian scene
EESTI LAUL 2025 SONGWRITER DEEP DIVE 🇪🇪📊🕸️
We have our first 15 songs for what's shaping up to be a highlight of the 2025 season! All songs have connections to previous entries, so even though we have to wait a month, we can already get a feel for the songs now! (A thread 🧵)
An-Marlen - "Külm"
2022 fan favourite An-Marlen is back! As with "Lõpuks muutub", An-Marlen has writing credits on "Külm" too
Andrei Zevakin feat. Karita - "Ma ei tea sind"
No stranger to Eesti Laul, Andrei has written and performed many entries already. He is joined by the team behind Ariadne's robbed 2022 fan-favourite "Shouldn't Be Friends", including Ariadne herself
MONTESONG 2024 SONGWRITER DEEP DIVE 🇲🇪🕸️📊
Welcome to the first NF deep dive of the season! In this series, I look at all links between the writers/artist of a national final lineup with other songs from the Eurovision world. The thread contains a detailed plot for each song 🧵
A quick disclaimer: Many of the credits were revealed with an initial instead of a full first name. Thus there may be a slight insecurity with some of these connections. If any mistakes come to my attention, they will be noted at the end of the thread. Now let's get to it!
Neonoen - "Clickbait"
Band member Marko has a past with the Eurovision world. In 2005 he placed 6th in the Serbo-Montenegrin national final. Two years later, he placed 3rd in the first ever national final of an independent Montenegro. How will his band do this time?
