Running order assembled by yours truly, you're all welcome!

I can only hope the real final has as many of the same songs here.

I shall be voting on Friday after seeing all the performances in full.

Posted by: UltraGreenLight 12th May 2017, 02:14 PM

I'll vote in this later!

Posted by: LexC♀ 12th May 2017, 02:24 PM

Upset that Finland/Latvia/Iceland/Montenegro/Macedonia/Serbia/Switzerland/Estonia didn't go through in the real contest? Well then be sure to vote in this by 23:59 tonight and restore justice for your faves!

Bumpety Bump!

Posted by: Jonjo 12th May 2017, 08:34 PM

Just voted!

I messed up, so quickly sent in an edit of my votes Just got around to listening to the studio version of a particular song, and I had to bump it up and give it a point coz it's actually a banger (I just don't think it translated too well live) :')

Posted by: LexC♀ 12th May 2017, 08:37 PM

I'll allow that vote edit Jonjo.

Posted by: Jason 12th May 2017, 08:45 PM

No. I'm upset because the future winner (or top 3 minimum) Portugal is not here. So, I'm avoiding this.

Posted by: Jonjo 12th May 2017, 09:05 PM

LMAO.

Posted by: LexC♀ 12th May 2017, 09:08 PM

Well Jason, seeing that the winner of Buzzvision has so far yet to go on to win the Eurovision proper, the fact that Portugal is immune from receiving the "Buzzvision curse" should actually be a relief for you!

Posted by: UltraGreenLight 12th May 2017, 09:28 PM

Listening through now and will vote within about half an hour!

Posted by: Jonjo 12th May 2017, 09:32 PM

Was this not done in 2012? If so, how did Loreen not win this?

Posted by: Ryan. 12th May 2017, 09:41 PM

She did! Top 5 in 2012 was...

183 Sweden
88 Cyprus
83 Iceland
79 Spain
66 Italy

Posted by: Iz~ 12th May 2017, 09:43 PM

Loreen is an outlier that defies even curses but that doesn't mean it's broken.

Posted by: LexC♀ 12th May 2017, 09:52 PM

We're talking in the specific Lex version of Buzzvision (i.e. with the results the Saturday afternoon) that we started in 2013. Since then the winners we've picked have been Margaret Berger, Sanna Nielsen, Stig Rasta & Elina Born and Poli Genova.

Posted by: Jonjo 12th May 2017, 09:54 PM

Ahhh!

Poli deserved to win <3 Not sure if I took part last year, but she would definitely have been my 12 pointer

Posted by: Cameron 12th May 2017, 10:11 PM

Wasn't last years top 2 Poli and Dami? *.*

Posted by: LexC♀ 12th May 2017, 10:19 PM

PRECISELY *.*

Posted by: LexC♀ 12th May 2017, 11:08 PM

Same, I was at the jury final last night and needed some thinking time!

Here's what I would have voted for in 2016, as found on my old phone:

12 Australia
10 Ukraine
8 Russia
7 Bulgaria
6 Netherlands
5 Sweden
4 France
3 Spain
2 Austria
1 Poland

Yes really at Poland, Color Of Your Life was awesome. Still annoyed at Say Yay's floppage...
