10 YEARS

Da∂i og Gagnamagni∂

Iceland

 Iceland was one of the strong contenders for a first victory at Eurovision in 2020. Although the ESC was cancelled, Da∂i Freyr is back this year with a new song. Unfortunately, the 2020 entry was superior. The quirky delivery and stage performance in 2021 is just a rehash which will hinder its chances. “10 Years” will be sung in English and is competing in Semi-Final 2, which will be advantageous, but Iceland will have to wait longer for its first ESC triumph.

It will be competing in Semi-Final 1. The Israeli entry will face tough competition but should qualify for the Grand Final, but Israel won’t achieve a 5^th win with this song.

GROWING UP IS GETTING OLD

Victoria

Bulgaria

Bulgaria is yet to win Eurovision. Recent years has since its entries come close, reflecting the improved quality. Victoria is another of the acts scheduled for the 2020 Contest. She had a better song last year, but “Growing Up Is Getting Old” is still tipped as a strong contender for the 2021 prize. To some, Victoria is going to sound too similar to Billie Eilish. Others will embrace her modern approach. This is one of the songs to watch. It will be performed in English during Semi-Final 2 and is surely going to qualify for the Grand Final.
