May 23, 201015 yr Ireland 14th in their semi, I can't imagine that happening at all :o Niamh's vocals have been brilliant and the juries will surely love it? I'd possibly argue with Denmark and Belarus too (although I haven't seen the latter rehearsal - was it as dire as I'd feared it could be? :drama:) but otherwise pretty spot on.
May 23, 201015 yr Author Denmark rehearsals have been just awkward :/ i like the song but can't see them in the final at this point :( as for Ireland, the jury might love it, but not sure if it will be enough for the final... can't see this beaing in the top 10 of the televotes in any eastern country... that's why I think they'll miss it.
May 23, 201015 yr as for Ireland, the jury might love it, but not sure if it will be enough for the final... can't see this beaing in the top 10 of the televotes in any eastern country... that's why I think they'll miss it. When did that ever stop a track? :lol: I don't see Lithuania being in the top 10 of televotes for any country aside from maybe its neighbours, or in any jury vote, but that doesn't seem to stop your prediction for them :P
May 23, 201015 yr Author ^ well remmeber Lithiania 2006? :P they ended up 6th! I'm getting the same wibe again only that this time it's funkier... it will atract casual tv viewrs and it's a great energectic opener in semi 2. (plus voting starts with song #1 this time remmeber). and I stand by my prediction which doesn't mean they'll be correct :P I would love to see Georgia from semi 2 in the final but I think it will JUST miss it :( hope I'm wrong though :)
May 23, 201015 yr In theory it would seem opening voting from the beginning benefits earlier songs, but basically every contest that opens voting from the beginning seems to favour entries near the end - or at least, disadvantage entries near the beginning. Take both Eurovision Dance Contests: Performer / Placing in 2007 (out of 16) / Placing in 2008 (out of 14) 16 / 1207 / 1312 / 0615 / 0505 / 1108 / 1013 / 1411 / 0410 / 0903 / 0204 / 0709 / 0806 / 0102 / 0314 / ---01 / --- It seems allowing people to vote from the beginning boosts voting for tracks in the middle and the end rather than tracks at the beginning - perhaps because people are more likely to think they've seen their favourite track in the middle/end, rather than at the beginning when there are loads of tracks yet to be heard? Either way, I don't see the disadvantage of going on early being reversed because of this...
May 25, 201015 yr Author Semi 1 : 1. Slovakia 2. Iceland 3. Serbia 4. Albania 5. Greece 6. Bosnia & Herzegovina 7. Latvia 8. Belgium 9. Macedonia 10. Moldova 7/10! just upset about Slovakia and Latvia more than my own country :( lol
