Tonight we will witness the very first Eurovision Song Contest Asia and the Aussievision Team is very excited ahead of what is sure to be a very spectacular show!


Here are the team's predictions! Who do you think will win?


Cooper


Top 3 prediction:


1st - Philippines: Carmelle - Sobra-Sobra 

2nd - Malaysia: Aina Abdul - Bluest Sky 

3rd - Vietnam: Tóc Tiên - EM TIÊN


Comments:


  • I think Sobra-Sobra will be running away with this win. Her vocals have been incredibly impressive and the juries will be behind it and then it’s clearly a televote winning entry.


Dale


Top 3 prediction:


1st - Malaysia: Aina Abdul - Bluest Sky 

2nd - Philippines: Carmelle - Sobra-Sobra 

3rd - South Korea: JUNHEE - Deep Dive


Comments:


  • Nepal will finish last, battling Cambodia for the bottom spot.

  • Laos could do well in the public vote and sneak into the top five.

  • Vietnam could be hurt by the running order and finish outside the top three.


Craig


Top 3 prediction:


1st - Malaysia: Aina Abdul - Bluest Sky 

2nd - Philippines: Carmelle - Sobra-Sobra 

3rd - Thailand: MANG x DAOU - Aroma


Comments:


  • Malaysia has emerged as a clear favourite for the first edition of Eurovision Asia, and I expect to see Aina Abdul be our first ever winner of this new competition.

  • Coming in just behind are Philippines (which I think might not climb quite as high as many hope) and Thailand (which is professional, well-performed and getting good attention on Spotify).

  • I also would not be surprised to see Vietnam on the podium, but am worried that might be a tall order from so early in the running order.

  • Another prediction: Unfortunately, I think our first ever last place-getter will be Nepal.

Top 3 prediction:


1st - Malaysia: Aina Abdul - Bluest Sky 

2nd - Philippines: Carmelle - Sobra-Sobra 

3rd - South Korea: JUNHEE - Deep Dive


Comments:


  • Laos will finish third in the public vote, but the jury result will drag her down to sixth overall.


Will


Top 3 prediction:


1st - Philippines: Carmelle - Sobra-Sobra 

2nd - Malaysia: Aina Abdul - Bluest Sky 

3rd - South Korea: JUNHEE - Deep Dive


Comments:


  • I really don’t know what order these three could end up in, but I’m fairly confident they’ll be the podium. There’s situations in which they can all easily win, and they’d all be incredibly deserving of the title. I’ve taken a stab here at guessing an order but realistically, this is still Eurovision and we know anything could happen.

  • Vietnam and Bhutan would make up my top five, Bhutan being my absolute favourite and the dark horse of the night for me, and Vietnam being one that’s steadily grown on me and could easily pull a massive public vote tonight.

Top 3 prediction:


1st - Malaysia: Aina Abdul - Bluest Sky 

2nd - Vietnam: Tóc Tiên - EM TIÊN

3rd - Thailand: MANG X DAOU - Aroma 


Comments:


  • Philippines and South Korea rounding out the top 5.

  • I also think Bhutan could do better than expected!


Paul


Top 3 prediction:


1st - Malaysia: Aina Abdul - Bluest Sky 

2nd - Philippines: Carmelle - Sobra-Sobra 

3rd - Vietnam: Tóc Tiên - EM TIÊN


Comments:


  • Speaking objectively - I think Aina’s winning it. The performance, the vocals, and the favourable running order suggest that it’s hers for the taking. The juries will lap this up and it will get enough televotes to push for the win.

  • My Filipino heart genuinely wants CARMELLE to win. She’s the complete package, a banger of a song, and a performance (both vocally and on stage) that knocks it out of the park. Regardless of the result, CARMELLE has made all of us Filipinos across the world so proud. A televote winner, but the juries should favour the big vocals that a ballad shows off.

  • Tóc Tiên’s unfavourable running order will hurt its chances for the win since there is absolutely nothing wrong with the song, her vocals, and her performance.

  • The male acts are severely underrated and could potentially threaten for the win.

  • BAE will be the Miss Congeniality of the contest. Everyone will love the song - it’ll get into people’s heads and will be part of the soundtrack to the upcoming Australian summer.

  • The show itself will be phenomenal - truly showcasing Asian talent, culture, ingenuity, and capability to host such a show.

Top 3 prediction:


1st - Malaysia: Aina Abdul - Bluest Sky 

2nd - Philippines: Carmelle - Sobra-Sobra 

3rd - Bhutan: Nyendra - Lhayi Semo


Comments:


  • I think Malaysia will win the jury, the Philippines win the televote and Malaysia will take it out! Go Aina Abdul!!!

Top 3 prediction:


1st - Malaysia: Aina Abdul - Bluest Sky 

2nd - Philippines: Carmelle - Sobra-Sobra 

3rd - South Korea: JUNHEE - Deep Dive


Comments:


  • After seeing Malaysia last night - the vocals, the staging, the jury love that is surely coming this way - I instantly had winner vibes. Just so SO impressive.

  • Philippines to win public vote.

  • I don't think the K-pop factor here with South Korea can be ignored - and while not the strongest example, I still think it will do very well as its slick and modern.

  • My dark horse here is Bhutan - there is something very special here. He is gorgeous and he can really sing. I would be stoked if this got top 3!

  • Laos to do well in the Round the World vote.

Top 3 prediction:

Comments:


  • For me the Phillipines has everything it takes to win, the song is catchy, the performance is energetic and Carmelle's vocals are out of this world.

  • South Korea to do worse than predicted.

  • Laos top 5.

  • Cambodia to come last.
