May 13, 201114 yr Author Let's not forget how the loons united behind Hero! :( Seriously, if you take a look at Moopy some people there voted for Charlotte constantly throughout the entire voting period and the website went into mourning and changed the colour scheme to black when she finished 18th! :lol:
May 13, 201114 yr Let's not forget how the loons united behind Hero! :( Yes, but no doubt many of them deserted her after the dire performance. Like me for example, I didn't vote for her in the final - my planned vote transferred to the wonderful Norway and Maria! Kati's staging and vocal is acceptable enough not to drive away half of her fanbase. Hero had a large share of haters spitting bile from what I can recall, probably because it was a Swedish entry - 'always the same Schlager entry blah blah blah'. I honestly haven't stumbled across many people anti-Wolf at all, and I lurk all of the bitchy forums as well as this one :lol: BJ are far more restrained than most for the most part! You can't get away from the Eric Saade haters this year - yet I haven't seen that much hate for Alex Sparrow and their inferior entry, bizarre!

May 13, 201114 yr My (probably completely wrong) prediction for the final: 01 United Kingdom 02 France 03 Finland 04 Germany 05 Iceland 06 Denmark 07 Azerbaijan 08 Russia 09 Austria 10 Serbia 11 Estonia 12 Ukraine 13 Romania 14 Georgia 15 Greece 16 Bosnia & Herzegovina 17 Ireland 18 Italy 19 Switzerland 20 Slovenia 21 Sweden 22 Hungary 23 Spain 24 Moldova 25 Lithuania
May 13, 201114 yr Finland 3rd?! First slot followed by Bosnia over which crowd went unusually for other countries loud and cheery in the semifinal!
May 13, 201114 yr Finland 3rd?! First slot followed by Bosnia over which crowd went unusually for other countries loud and cheery in the semifinal! As far as I'm concerned, anything can happen this year. I just remember that Finland got a huge cheer during the recap in SF1 and I've heard they won SF1 comfortably. I don't know how much truth there is in that though :lol:
May 13, 201114 yr Austria making the top ten would really be amazing - she's somehow 6th with the bookies now so I have increased confidence in her not finishing bottom five :D
May 13, 201114 yr I can see Azerbaijan finishing second thanks to the Eastern advantage and late slot. UK will finish fourth due to the problem of Moldova performing right after them. France will win.
May 13, 201114 yr 25. Lithuania 24. Switzerland 23. Moldova 22. Italy 21. Spain 20. Georgia 19. Slovenia 18. Iceland 17. Ukraine 16. Austria 15. Romania 14. Greece 13. Ireland (VERY unsure about this one though, could go either way - so I thought I'd put it in the middle!) 12. Serbia 11. Finland ---------------- 10. Hungary :( 09. Sweden 08. Germany 07. Denmark 06. Russia 05. Bosnia-Herzegovina 04. Estonia 03. United Kingdom 02. Azerbaijan 01. France :o God knows what could happen, I can see any of the top 7 winning in reality + (God forbid) Ireland, I'm just hoping it's British punters overestimating them and hoping they'll finish well out of the top 10.

May 13, 201114 yr I know Eric got a $h!te draw, but 21st???? :mellow: I wasn't very impressed with the performance in the semi final and I think it'll get lost in the mix given it's draw.
May 13, 201114 yr I wasn't very impressed with the performance in the semi final and I think it'll get lost in the mix given it's draw. It provided one of the most unintentionally hilarious moments of the night for me when the backing vocalists continue on stage for a bit whilst he gets out of the box behind the camera just after the key change - a few seconds later he sort of arrives back on screen rather like he's popped in from nowhere to join in with the choreography.

May 13, 201114 yr Author He really should've just half-inched the water gimmick from Manboy and had it done with.
May 13, 201114 yr Austria making the top ten would really be amazing - she's somehow 6th with the bookies now so I have increased confidence in her not finishing bottom five :D I never thought I'd say this Rich, but I think you're massively underestimating Austria! :o I listened to the songs in running order today and she stands out brilliantly from that position, I might even have a cheeky little each-way bet on her tomorrow if the odds are tempting enough, or Iceland whom I think you're also under-predicting.
May 13, 201114 yr I wasn't very impressed with the performance in the semi final and I think it'll get lost in the mix given it's draw. He needs to ditch the backing vocalists ASAP. Or at least only have them come in during the glass cage bit.

At 2:38 on the video; GtahdBTHeE8 LOL I didn't notice that :lol:

Both are huge dark horses, Iceland I feel are certainly one of those acts that could end up anywhere between about 3rd and 20th :lol: Glad everyone seems to FINALLY be coming around to Austria anyway, it's only taken everybody three months to catch up :D Beautiful, perfect song by a faultless vocalist.
May 14, 201114 yr The order was done by balls in a pot... The countries were drawn by balls and the places were drawn by cards. 1. Ireland 2. France 3. UK 4. Sweden 5. Azerbaijan Edited May 14, 201114 yr by TeaAndToast
