May 24, 201213 yr I think that croatian song is far more better than bosnian... Nina is a star in balkan,and if you could understand her song,you'd know what i am talking about...
May 24, 201213 yr I'm not going to be around much over the next few days, so here's my hurriedly thrown together prediction for the final: 01 Sweden 02 Italy 03 Russia 04 Serbia 05 Romania 06 Spain 07 Estonia 08 Ukraine 09 Norway 10 Turkey 11 Moldova 12 Ireland 13 Denmark 14 United Kingdom 15 Azerbaijan 16 Greece 17 Iceland 18 Germany 19 Macedonia 20 Bosnia-Herzegovina 21 Albania 22 Lithuania 23 Cyprus 24 Hungary 25 Malta 26 France Probably miles off! :lol:

May 24, 201213 yr 01 Sweden 02 Italy 03 Serbia 04 Russia 05 Romania 06 Ukraine 07 Denmark 08 Greece 09 Ireland 10 Spain 11 Turkey 12 United Kingdom 13 Norway 14 Germany 15 Estonia 16 Moldova 17 Azerbaijan 18 Macedonia 19 Cyprus 20 Bosnia-Herzegovina 21 Malta 22 Iceland 23 Albania 24 France 25 Lithuania 26 Hungary It's REALLY competitive from 10th down to 19th. That's a very 'safe' set of predictions there Tyron. I think we're going to have shitloads of surprises like last year to be honest. My predictions shall be coming up shortly. :D
May 24, 201213 yr Still saving listening to everything (winner excluded) until the final but do you think it'll be more of a landslide than that guy last yr?
May 24, 201213 yr Author You're thinking of Alexander Rybak Jake, that was THREE YEARS AGO! :D Last year was a solid win but not a landslide by any means, and it was a guy and a girl...
May 25, 201213 yr I'd rather go SAFE than get BURNED like last year again :( Oh yes...we all fell victim to the "can't see past a France-UK top two" last year didn't we... :(
May 25, 201213 yr Right then... I'm well aware that I'll no doubt be the only one predicting that Sweden won't win, or even finish in the top two, but here we are! :w00t: 01 Italy 02 Ireland 03 Sweden 04 Russia 05 Serbia 06 Moldova 07 Romania 08 Azerbaijan 09 Spain 10 Ukraine 11 Norway 12 Albania 13 FYR Macedonia 14 Greece 15 United Kingdom 16 Turkey 17 Cyprus 18 Denmark 19 Germany 20 Lithuania 21 Estonia 22 France 23 Bosnia & Herzegovina 24 Iceland 25 Malta 26 Hungary
May 25, 201213 yr Author Nice to see some alternative predictions but I'll be SHOCKED if Jedward finish above Russia! I can't see the juries taking to them that much now they rely far more on vocals this year, and I can't see voters preferring them to Russia...if you switched Russia and Ireland I could just about see it happening.
May 25, 201213 yr Nice to see some alternative predictions but I'll be SHOCKED if Jedward finish above Russia! I can't see the juries taking to them that much now they rely far more on vocals this year, and I can't see voters preferring them to Russia...if you switched Russia and Ireland I could just about see it happening. I really think Ireland could do very well this year. Let's be fair, none of us really thought they'd do as well a they did last year, and that was a far weaker song surrounded by Saade and Kati Wolf was it not?! This year, they've got a much better song, a better performance, in my opinion, and a decent position in the running order. With Jedward, perhaps the draw doesn't make that much difference, but singing near the end could push them up that little bit further I reckon. Sweden...well... Lat night's performance from Loreen was just sublime, but there's still something holding me back from predicting it to win. Over hyped maybe? I dunno...I just think it'll just fall short. Nina Zilli is just fantastic in every way, and I'm eager to see her third rehearsal today. Like you said a bit back, the "boom boom boom" needs emphasising slightly more. Once she's done that - if she does hat - I really think that's the performance to beat. Russia will do well with the public, but I can see the juries dragging them back slightly. And I'll be absolutely delighted if Engelbert can pull off top ten, because I really don't see it happening at the moment.
May 25, 201213 yr From what I've seen with Ireland, most people seem to perceive it to be a weaker entry than Lipstick (even though I prefer it)! In fact, I wouldn't have been that shocked had it missed the final. I'm going to have a stab at some final predictions; 01 Sweden (by a landslide) 02 Serbia 03 Russia 04 Romania 05 Italy (going to take a small risk and STILL predict this not to come in the top four, and it's no winner) 06 Azerbaijan 07 Greece 08 Ukraine 09 Denmark 10 Spain 11 Moldova 12 United Kingdom (plopping this in mid-table because I really feel like it could finish anywhere) 13 Iceland (I'm hesitant to put it top ten now but I still don't see it doing as badly as everybody else seems to be suggesting) 14 Germany 15 Turkey 16 Cyprus 17 Norway 18 Estonia 19 Albania 20 Ireland (I genuinely can't see this picking up that much support, the televotes will be weaker than last year and the jury support will surely be a lot less) 21 Bosnia & Herzegovina 22 FYR Macedonia 23 Lithuania 24 Hungary 25 France 26 Malta

Like you said a bit back, the "boom boom boom" needs emphasising slightly more. Once she's done that - if she does hat - I really think that's the performance to beat. I know I'm seriously lacking objectivity with Euphoria but I don't think it being over hyped would stop it winning. Fairytale and Satellite had a similar pre-contest reception, the latter probably less so than Euphoria in fact. Nina's a great performer and I do really like the song but of everyone I've played it too (maybe 20 people?), only a couple liked it, and even then not as much as Euphoria. It hasn't clicked with a lot of people the way I thought it would and I'd be genuinely surprised to see it win, I think it *could* be the shock underperformance of the night.
May 26, 201213 yr 01 Sweden: Loreen - Euphoria 02 Serbia: Željko Joksimovic' - Nije Ljubav Stvar 03 Spain: Pastora Soler: Quédate conmigo 04 Russia: Buranovskiye Babushki - Party for Everybody 05 Italy: Nina Zilli - L'amore è femmina (Out of Love) 06 Turkey: Can Bonomo - Love Me Back 07 Albania: Rona Nishliu - Suus 08 Romania: Mandinga - Zaleilah 09 Cyprus: Ivi Adamou - La La Love 10 Azerbaijan: Sabina Babayeva - When the Music Dies 11 Greece: Eleftheria Eleftheriou - Aphrodisiac 12 Ireland: Jedward - Waterline 13 Denmark: Soluna Samay - Should've Known Better 14 Iceland: Gréta Salóme & Jónsi - Never Forget 15 Estonia: Ott Lepland - Kuula 16 FYR Macedonia: Kaliopi - Crno I Belo 17 United Kingdom: Engelbert Humperdinck - Love Will Set You Free 18 Norway: Tooji - Stay 19 Ukraine: Gaitana - Be My Guest 20 Bosnia & Herzegovina: Maya Sar - Korake Ti Znam 21 Lithuania: Donny Montell - Love Is Blind 22 Germany: Roman Lob - Standing Still 23 Malta: Kurt Calleja - This Is The Night 24 Moldova: Pasha Parfeny - Lautar 25 Hungary: Compact Disco - Sound of our Hearts 26 France: Anggun - Echo (You and I) So strong this year. Not good at predictions but i think it could be anyone in the top 10 (apart from the bottom 5). Azerbaijan is only top 10 cause of being the host country, so as always it's a privilege. After semi 1, Ivi has the second most views, so must mean something.
May 26, 201213 yr 11 Moldova 18 Estonia 19 Albania You might be underestimating these.. I think Moldova will do better than Romania for example. very open race though. Edited May 26, 201213 yr by SKOB
May 26, 201213 yr 01 Sweden 02 Italy 03 Russia 04 Serbia 05 Romania 06 Spain 07 Greece 08 Denmark 09 Ukraine 10 Moldova 11 United Kingdom 12 Azerbaijan 13 Turkey 14 Cyprus 15 Norway 16 Ireland 17 FYR Macedonia 18 Iceland 19 Germany 20 Albania 21 Bosnia & Herzegovina 22 Estonia 23 Malta 24 Lithuania 25 France 26 Hungary I wasn't that confident in our own entry, but weighing it up with the rest of the final, I reckon we'll do alright!
May 26, 201213 yr I reckon something like: 01 Sweden 02 Russia 03 Serbia 04 Italy 05 Spain 06 Romania 07 Ukraine 08 Greece 09 Denmark 10 Azerbaijan 11 Turkey 12 Moldova 13 United Kingdom 14 Norway 15 Iceland 16 Ireland 17 Cyprus 18 Germany 19 Bosnia & Herzegovina 20 Estonia 21 Albania 22 FYR Macedonia 23 Lithuania 24 France 25 Malta 26 Hungary *waits to be totally out*
