Right. Because at the moment I've got nothing better to do I'll share the epic theory I found:
According to some statistics
- From the year 2000 onwards all ESC winners have shared a longitude or a latitude with the host country.
- From 2000 onwards the winner has never won previously or the victory occurred more than a decade earlier.
- From 2003 onwards the winning country has had it's surface area larger than the median of the set.
- From 2004 onwards the winning country has shared a border with at least three other countries.
- From 2004 onwards the flag of the winning country has had blue in it
- ... from 2005 it has had white in it
- ... from 2007 it has had red in it.
- From 2005 the winner has performed their act during the last third of the final.
- From 2005 the lyrics have had a religious reference in them (IE Rybak's curse or Elena's crusifiction)
- From 2005 the winning song and 2006 onwards the winning artist have been selected at least partly by a televote in their respected national final.
- From 2006 the winner has came though a semifinal.
- From 2006 the winning song has had at least one L-letter in it's name.
IF we discard principles that appeared later than 2004 the winner this year would be France, Romania or The Czech Republic. Note that if during the following years any smaller or bigger country than Czech joins or leaves the contest it stops being the 21st largest of the 42. Also if we include the principles from 2004 onwards Romania's flag does not have white in it and France doesn't have to go through a semifinal.
If all three of the conditions above happened to be true and neither France Romania nor Czech republic could win the winner would be Great Britain as it's transmarine areas Gibraltar and Akrotiri and Dhekelia would also be included when looking at border sharing neighbouring countries.
