The 1000th song ever in the contest is probably going to qualify. The singer – in my very humble opinion – is a bit of a turd, but when he goes down on one knee to beg for votes, the viewer might well respond.
The overall impression it leaves is that you’re watching an old-fashioned ‘bucket of Ireland‘ song – and that’s exactly what many viewers will want to see.
That said, there are no guarantees this will make it through, but I see it being there in the shake-up.
