It wasn't SO bad really, mostly indifferent to most of those songs. Plus that Ukrainian mini-Bjork was borderline creepy.

I've never watched it because it's pretty shite but Ukraine's song was kind of good! Can't believe she is only 10! D:

Can't find a source yet but rumours are that Greece and Cyprus are withdrawing.

Two of the best countries, especially Cyprus! I hope that they will be able to get record labels to pay for their entries like Eleftheria and Ivi (to an extent I think) did this year.

Not overly saddened if both were to withdraw. Cyprus' only great entry was in 2007 and Greece's only great entry was 2011.

To me Cyprus never sent a truly great song. This year's was their best one yet so yeah no loss here. But I LURVE Greece. :(

I'm find of Greece as a country (and I'm always sticking up for them now that they've become a punching bag for the EU), but they've never wowed me in Eurovision. :(

Stronger Every Minute, Why Angels Cry, Comme Ci Comme Ca, Firefly, Life Looks Better In Spring and La La Love were all brilliant!! :wub:

 

And La La Love is my 3rd most played song of all time! :o

I got a ticket to the final, oh my god! :o

 

It will be worth it just to see Loreen reprise Euphoria!

Must. Not. Show. That. I'm. Jealous.

 

OOPS did I say that out loud?!

Greece! :( I only ever love them when they send Helena rip-offs but they send them quite often, will be really sad to see them go if it's true :(

Although I'll be staying in Copenhagen as Malmo's all booked up, never been to Denmark though so it's all good :D Need to save up some SERIOUS money in the next five months to afford it mind...

I'll be seeing you there Richard! Which block you sitting in?

D31 iirc, crap seats but better than not going! Where will you be?

Slovakia have confirmed that they will not be participating in 2013. :(

They will be moderately missed.

I had to double check if they took part this year or not, that shows how much I'll miss them.

 

Completely forgot that Armenia withdrew this year too and will be returning next year so as it stands we're only one down so far. Fingers crossed that Greece, Cyprus and Slovenia aren't all gone.

Aww no not Slovakia :( I want some whipping boys to go and do well (and convince certain neighbours of theirs that it might be in their interests to rejoin the contest) and I would have loved it to be them, especially if those rumours about Celeste Buckingham had been true. (+ I liked their entries the past two years)

 

Right, everyone else better stay, you hear me, Europe?

I'm a bit sad at Slovakia leaving. Let' Tmou, Horehronie and Modlitba were major highlights for me from their previous entries! I'm Still Alive was also rather nice, if a bit ploddy, so it is a shame they are withdrawing especially if like Eyes says the Celeste Buckingham rumours were true.

Never liked Slovakia's entries, so not a big deal for me. Armenia coming back is great. Their 2011 entry was vile but they've been great to amazing every other year!
