Eurovision Updates So Far v2

[PriceTags]

What do you think?

Let's dish out points (you can put the UK in as well). Please ignore Hungary - they're feeling indecisive this year, and the singer pulled out because she was feeling lazy.

12 Netherlands
10 United Kingdom
08 Andorra
07 Montenegro
06 Finland
05 France
04 Malta
03 Turkey
02 Albania
01 Slovenia
00 Romania
00 Denmark
00 Belarus
00 Cyprus

So you give your favourite 12, your second 10, your third 8 down to 1.

See if you can spot the 'hidden' political message in this Georgian hopeful!

Why is eurovision on for three days this time? Wasn't it 1 before? (yeah I'm slow, I only just noticed).

Jade Ewen will be singing My Time in Moscow on the 16th May.

It's an AMAZING song. We are bound to do well. The juries are going to love it, and with a good stage show, the audience might vote for us too.

Not really. Everyone hates us.

Not really. Everyone hates us.

The juries will be quite respectful towards Andrew Lloyd Webber and the good singer we have. If you read the post I made in the Eurovision Position thread, I showed that in theory, a country could get 12 points from a good jury score.

Norway has emerged as a strong favourite after selecting their entry tonight.
Watch it here! Norway winning would be progress, because it's not got a lot of neighbours to vote for it (Finland and Sweden and Denmark aren't going to be enough on their own).

Paddy Power have opened betting for the contest with odds only for UK (10-1 compared to last year's odds of 100-1 by the final night), Ireland (18-1) and Spain (50-1).

To the people who say jury voting will have no impact: The 6 points we received from San Marino last year were given by a jury, and other juries would have given us 8s and 7s. Our last victory was because all but 5 countries used juries, and we beat Ireland by 70-ish points. A couple of years after, people realised that they could make sure the UK didn't get a top 5 position and voted for someone else.

I really like that one. My top 5 not including UK:

1) Netherlands
2) Andorra
3) Georgia
4) Norway
5) Finland

Other songs I like: Ireland (modern and fun), Moldova (so bad it's good), France (very French, but a bit *too* French for Eurovision), Germany (nice rhythm, but easily forgettable)

Toilet breaks: Belarus (shocking rock song with a less than pleasing on the eye singer), Bulgaria (awful singers with an awful song), Cyprus (really bad live singer!), Denmark (a song written by Ronan Keating with a Ronan Keating clone singer).

Watch it here!

I really like it. Are we looking at Switzerland 2010?

The stage for the contest! As far as I know, the video floor is usable for performers, but I'm not sure if the black bit in front is, but I don't see why not.
