Our Eurovision Position?

How high in the leaderboard do you think we will get this year?

I want to explain first about the voting system, because everyone goes on "OH WE'LL COME LAST *throw self in front of bus*, but the chances are with our combination of a good song and the new, favourable voting system, we'll do a bit better.

A jury made up of 5 music professionals will cast votes to go along side the televotes or the normal juries if the line breaks down or they don't have one. If the professional juries finds our song to be the best, we will definitely have points on the scoreboard. Juries have always been favourable to the UK, and ballads have brought us good results, so hoozah!

Our Song: Jade Ewen - It's My Time

we'll most definately finish 21st-25th because no countries are gonna vote for us because we have no neighbours apart from ireland.

all countries vote for the countries that surround them and seeing Great Britain is an island, we're not going to get voted.

edit: i didn't read the 1st post. hmm with that new voting system, we could do a bit better.

I'd say that was a good guestimate.

I love the amount of people who have voted 21st-25th probably without reading the post or listening to the song. There is a good chance it could be London 2010.

She's got the will, she's earned the right - she's going to do well. Paddy Power have odds of 7-1 on the UK winning.

Also the people have been going around asking for votes which could change the votes slightly.

If you mean when Andrew went to all the embassies and stuff to ask for votes, it won't have any effect.

Andrew will be funding a European tour for Jade in the run-up to the concert, and she will be appearing on EuroSong in Malta this Saturday along with the Turkish representative Hadise.
