Looking forward to seeing who people think are the front runners this time round! I hope I'm not too far down the odds this time, but of course I know I won't be as high up as Carly was!

Having heard only a selection of songs from both semis i can't pinpoint a clear winner YET! So that may mean that we get another generic female electro pop winner (not necessarily a bad thing!). Bear in mind that my 'intuitions' are dubious at best

LecciBet MAY post odds for XLII but don't get your hopes up, the company is currently on the brink bankruptcy!

So many songs this month that I can't call at all...it'll surely be a close run thing, some of these songs could DNQ or come top ten in the final laugh.gif Please don't take any stock in these, I reckon everybody's odds will be drastically different this month! There doesn't seem to be any obvious winner, so I think we might have a surprise! If pushed I'd guess at a Tinnmark vs. Botanikka final duel because they're the only two I know had quite a bit of hype around them but I could also realistically see either finishing in the lower end of the top ten, a la Carly Rae Jepsen last month laugh.gif

Aquafina in 3rd? I can see it finishing mid-table at best, I'd be surprised if it didn't qualify, but I don't think it'd attract that many high votes. I do always tend to underestimate the pop votes though.

The top two I'd agree with at this early stage, I'll give the songs another listen through when the mp3 packs arrive and give odds then. It always seems hard to call right at the beginning, but I think this month has got to be harder than most.

And I suppose firmly in the middle is not too bad a start for myself.

That's a good start, I'm sure Frida will easily outplace Le Kid though (and deservedly so).

30/1 - I'm happy with that. At least I've got a chance of qualifying smile.gif

You & I has been one of the most popular ESC national final songs this year and it's a wide open contest, I already know about 6 or 7 big fans of it, not to mention everybody that will be discovering it for the first time. I see no reason it won't ease into the top ten and challenge for the top 3/5, but honestly, everything's SO close that I wouldn't worry if I've placed you 25th, because it's not exactly far away from 3rd in my expectations laugh.gif

Having the third shortest odds =/= third place.



Liking the first odds for Ashton there. Would like to continue this little success streak.

I was intending 3rd in Rich's odds, I think I've argued that case myself before. I can't see it winning, I suppose, so I would potentially put longer odds for it.

I always think votes for songs like You And I are going to be spread, but quite a lot of the time they end up not being. I personally can't think of anyone off the top of my head who would definitely put it in their top 3, but on the night it'll probably be handed 10 12/10/8s and I'll be left thinking 'where did those come from?'. It's happened before.

Actually I like your song (The Corrs covered that song and released it as a single, how could I not!), but it doesn't strike me as the sort of thing that will do very well in BJSC sad.gif

8/1 is rather long, for something that's third in my odds, in fact everything's long because I just CAN'T call it. I'm not even that confident that Laleh/Emma will be the top two, both could quite feasibly fail to make the top five!

I'm taking Rich's earlier remark as a subtle hint that he loves what's placed at 25th in his odds which just so happens to be me! (well I hope so!)

You'll have to wait and see tongue.gif

I've scaled Minnie-Oh back a bit to 10/1 now, I guess Annah Mac is a more likely contender to win thinking about it...
