January 17, 201312 yr Hmm, it's not all over the Netherlands just yet. One would expect all of Russia, Ukraine, Estonia, Serbia, Lithuania, Moldova and Denmark to qualify but then after that it's open to anyone, so it just depends on the song! Semi final 2 will be very interesting though. Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia will probably all be safely though, along with Romania but any of the others could make it, except probably San Marino.
January 28, 201312 yr The presenter of Eurovision Song Contest 2013 is http://www.svt.se/cachable_image/1359362795/etta/article988255.svt/ALTERNATES/large/petramede1_992.jpg PETRA MEDE. Edited January 28, 201312 yr by パーベル
January 28, 201312 yr She was fantastic in Melodifestivalen (and it was the first year I watched it) so great choice although I'd have preferred Sarah Dawn Finer! :( However i'm CERTAIN they'll do another sketch featuring her so all is good I guess.
January 28, 201312 yr Yes! What an amazing choice! Loved her in MF 09 (i.e the only one I actually went to!)
January 28, 201312 yr Maybe Lynda will be the Green Room reporter, the joke wouldn't have really worked for her to be the main host, maybe Sarah as herself but not Lynda as it's very much an in-joke that the bulk of the 125 million viewers probably wouldn't get.
January 28, 201312 yr I was really hoping they'd have gone with Linda Woodruff. :( That would have been a dreadful idea...the joke would have worn very thin over 3 hours...well 7 hours if you include the semis.
January 28, 201312 yr Indeed. I think it's better to have it as a recurring theme (maybe for this and next year tops though) at Melodifestivalen or Eurovision's Swedish votes presentation until the new idea comes along.
February 13, 201312 yr A sketch of the stage: http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll39/kimdasazelle2/Scenskiss_ESC_liggande_zps5d225135.jpg
February 13, 201312 yr For some reason it looks like a dick to me, but whatevs. I'm sure it'll look great!
February 14, 201312 yr For some reason it looks like a dick to me, but whatevs. I'm sure it'll look great! That's what I was thinking aswell :P
February 19, 201312 yr The postcards of this year's Eurovision Song Contest will be different compared to previous editions. This year's Host Broadcaster SVT want wants to use the films to present each artist instead. http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=svt_...ts_in_postcards Love this idea! :wub:
March 2, 201312 yr Really unimpressed with how Eurovision is shaping up this year. :( I can't see this being a banner year somehow. Aside from Sweden's hosting of the contest. Not sure if that will even be enough though. Edited March 2, 201312 yr by Sabrewulf
March 2, 201312 yr I actually think it's shaping up to be pretty decent, all this negativity is getting rather irritating. Granted it'd be difficult to follow up 2011 & 2012, both strong years, with a field equally as good but it's not going to be as bad as lots of people seem to be thinking.
March 2, 201312 yr 2011 really wasn't that strong! It's about on par with that at the moment. 2012 was another 2009 overall, very strong year, we weren't going to get another one of those so soon but it does feel like a comedown regardless.
March 3, 201312 yr I feel like this year is just as strong as the last couple of years! I'm sure people always say that this year isn't as strong as the last and then by time Eurovision comes around everyone's grown to like the majority of songs and say its a really strong year! :lol:
