Vibe Check: JJ's Nail-Biting ESC Journey Continues
Get the lowdown on our ESC fave JJ as he slugs it out for the coveted victory
Lately, it's been a rollercoaster for our beloved ESC hopeful JJ. Last weekend, he bagged a major fan vote win, but the Swedish act has snatched the lead in betting odds. At the "My Eurovision" party in Madrid, JJ could chalk up another big fan vote triumph. Initially, he was reigning supreme on the "My Eurovision Scoreboard" with his catchy pop-opera "Wasted Love," beating Finland and Sweden in mid-March.

Meanwhile, the Swedish trio KAJ, who teamed up with JJ for a hilarious backstage video, has taken the betting odds lead: their chances of winning currently sit at 35%! JJ, who was previously at 25%, has experienced a bit of a dip, sliding to 16 recently. But don't fret, last year, the bookies favored Croatia, but Switzerland's Nemo took the crown.
Now it's crunch time for JJ. On "Dancing Stars" this Friday, he'll rock "Wasted Love" as the star guest. In early May, JJ heads off to Basel, where he'll have four rehearsal days on May 11, followed by the grand opening gala. On May 15, the 2nd qualifying round for the final kicks off, with 16 participants vying for a spot. With JJ's charm and talent, making it to the top 10 seems like a piece of cake.

JJ's recent drop in sports-betting odds comes as the Swedish trio KAJ, with whom he collaborated, takes the lead, now having a 35% chance of winning the Eurovision Song Contest. Despite the shift, JJ's charismatic performances and exceptional talent promise an entertaining journey, as he diligently prepares for the upcoming qualifying rounds and rehearsals, with the grand final in sight.
