March 20, 201015 yr I'd probably be just as in love if Sweden had chosen Kom or Keep On Walking, in all fairness... Lol this is like the 2nd time you say that today :lol:

March 20, 201015 yr Now I come to think of it, this is actually quite a good year. I'm even liking the Dutch entry now :o
March 20, 201015 yr A lot of the terrible/average entries were selected at the start hence it seeming like it would be a bad year - luckily, nearly all of the last 25 or so songs selected have been somewhere between above average and excellent. Like I said, the only thing that's missing is a Fairytale, but how can you bottle lightning? We have a song like that once every 5-10 years if we're lucky. I'm quite satisfied with the entries overall now, and maybe it's more interesting that there is no obvious runaway winner. The only thing that could have possibly been better for me is if Sweden had gone for Salem or Timoteij and Norway had gone for A1. Then I would have absolutely loved this year. However, Anna and Didrik are still pretty much two of the best songs here for me, so it's not like I'm overly devesated, they'll just be more cases of 'the ones that got away'. Stay The Night trounced all over every other NF song and ESC song last year for me but I still regard 2009 as one of the best contests ever, despite that song not reaching Eurovision. I also remain confident that Norway will put on an excellent show, which should make the songs seem even better still. So with all but one entry chosen, I'm pleased.

March 20, 201015 yr Now all the 39 entries are known here are my revised rankings with predited finish positions in contest after country name 1 Israel - 5th or lower due to lack of friends and relatively small Jewish population outside Israel who are not neccessarily pro Israeli anyway. If it does win or comes near what will that say about political voting ... 2 Armenia - top 2..lots of votes from other East Europeans 3. Serbia - doesnt seem popular generally but would still say top 10 4. Holland - Catchy Dutch Schlager... but wont appeal to most countries I think...non qualifyer 5.

March 20, 201015 yr Why everyone is saying Vukašin Brajić - Munja I Grom, when he's going to sing it on English, and name of the song is Thunder and Lightening. And on Serbian or Croatian it really looks weird to read Munja I Grom, because we'd wrote it as Munja i grom.
March 21, 201015 yr I'd probably be just as in love if Sweden had chosen Kom or Keep On Walking, in all fairness... Lol this is like the 2nd time you say that today :lol: Yeah, like, get over it :rolleyes:
March 21, 201015 yr I've noticed that most of the listenable entries deserving to get into the final are in the second semi. There is a considerable difference in quality between the two semis this year me thinks...

March 21, 201015 yr Author I'd bet Spain to get to the Good category at least for you in the end :kink:
March 21, 201015 yr I'd bet Spain to get to the Good category at least for you in the end :kink: Seeing as I absolutely can't stand his voice, it's doubtful. As a song, I have no problem with it, but I find it unbearable to listen to. Can I have an instrumental please :P

March 21, 201015 yr There are still claims of political voting even after last year? :/ Unfortunately, people seem to have conveniently forgotten how well we did last year. I was watching a debate about it on the Alan Titchmarsh Show last week, and everyone was banging on about how we're always going to do $h!t, and no one votes for us because they don't like us and all that $h!t. After about five minutes of that dross Alan finally piped up, "although we did come fifth last year." EUGH. Aside from 2009, we wouldn't have made the final at all from 2003-10 if we were, Ireland, for example. -_- Oh, and another thing that pisses me off rather... When you point out that we came fifth last year, people's reply is usually something along the lines of, "but we didn't win though." :manson: Perhaps because there were four songs that were better than ours? Tssssk.

March 21, 201015 yr I really hope Germany and Sweden finally do well this year, definitely at the top of the Western European rankings for me and I'm hoping they don't both trawl in below 15th yet again having both put effort in.
