Re: Melodifestival 2010

Beanie:

I think Darin will get more than just teen votes - otherwise he's in for a train wreck. There just aren't enough teens voting in MF, as I understand it. The winner seems to be the favourite among 30-50 year olds. Anyway, I see him about fifth.

Regarding juries, they allocate (together) as many points as the popular vote, but as their points tend to spread out I'd say they're much less powerful. They're not likely to move the result more than one step from the popular vote (that is, bringing 2nd to 1st) - if that. Last year, Måns Zelmerlöw was grand jury favourite, but still finished 4th overall.

Of course, it will be interesting to see what effect it will have that half the juries are now from abroad (two west europe, two east, two south).
