Posted May 26, 201015 yr Just for those eager ones! :P 17th, 19th and 21st May...a week earlier than this time but that was to be expected with the Champions' League Final taking place on the 28th May next year. Full press conference: http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/15844
May 26, 201015 yr JUST my provisional graduation from university dates! :o It'll be a tough/busy year. :(
May 26, 201015 yr Also from the press conference: Anyone doing an Azerbaijan and messing with their voting this year face disqualification 10th & 11th in semi-1 were separated by 3pts One country had to use only a jury
May 26, 201015 yr I'd be willing to bet that Albania had to use 100% jury - they normally have problems with televoting. If not Albania then perhaps Malta? Svante did say it was because the country in question didn't meet the minimum threshold of televotes...
May 26, 201015 yr Author I bet it'll be Albania then...that was the reason they had to use their jury in 2008 wasn't it? Surprised the interest is so low over there, particularly with them being so eager and announcing their song ridiculously early every year!

Surprised the interest is so low over there, particularly with them being so eager and announcing their song ridiculously early every year! I don't think it's so much that interest is low, more that telephone coverage is pretty poor in Albania - which is why they weren't allowed to televote in the first few years of televoting. Then again, the Albanian selection process is notoriously corrupt, so that might explain a low interest.
May 26, 201015 yr well I think Albania has issues with the telephone system every year! on the other hand the intrest in ESC over there is HUGE I believe... their National Final is the biggest pop music festival of the year in the country... hmm I wonder who was the country that just missed out on the final :unsure:

Everyone here and all the bookies had them down amongst the top three favourites to go through!
May 27, 201015 yr Malta or Finland in 11th I think. For a period up until the semi final, I was sure Slovakia weren't going to be near qualifying. I had a slight doubt about that during the semi when Estonia sounded worse than ever before, but in reflection, it was obvious they wouldn't make it. It's a very repetitive song that doesn't go anywhere, vocals were slightly shaky when almost every other entrant was near perfect vocally, camera angles were poor, and the backing vocalist went out of time.
May 27, 201015 yr I don't think Slovakia was a shocker in the slightest, and they'd not be the country I'd instantly think got 11th place. It could well be Macedonia again, or maybe Malta or even Finland. I'm pretty sure Latvia was last though!!
May 29, 201015 yr Author LIVID. They won't let me book flights a year in advance :( Haha...do we even know if it's going to be in Berlin or Munich yet? :lol: I had better not have an exam anytime around then either...well I won't be able to take it if I do because I'm definitely going next year!
May 30, 201015 yr Any reason why Germany wouldn't be able to stick with those preliminary dates? The BBC website seems to think it's 364 days until the next final :P That can't be right if ESC is about a week earlier next year
May 30, 201015 yr Haha...do we even know if it's going to be in Berlin or Munich yet? :lol: I had better not have an exam anytime around then either...well I won't be able to take it if I do because I'm definitely going next year! Could be anywhere tbf. I was giving Hamburg and even Dusseldorf a thought too.
May 30, 201015 yr I think they should seriously consider Hanover before anywhere else. It must be one of the biggest cities, and I think Lena is from there, and I've always thought it nice if a country hosts in the place the winner is from
