May 7, 201411 yr This was tagged onto the end of the BBC report on the semi-final: ''Her single entered the UK chart at number 48 on Sunday, and is expected to break the top 40 after Saturday's final - but bookmakers' have rated her chances for Eurovision victory as average, placing her directly in the middle of the field, with odds of 6/1.'' How can they call her chances average?! Also, how can they say that bookies have "placed her directly in the middle of the field" when she's clearly 3rd favourite? :huh:

How can they call her chances average?! Average?! I'd say average would be 40/1 rather than 3rd favourite!
May 7, 201411 yr Great to see Molly in the Top 40 today at #35 - Places her well for a big surge on Saturday :wub:
May 8, 201411 yr 32 in today's mids for Molly - Hopefully with a surge after the contest she will be Top 25/30 for Sunday :cheer: Edited May 8, 201411 yr by ___∆___
May 9, 201411 yr I wonder if molly is going to wear a different outfit in the final as she has asked on twitter what people's favourite dress from the music video is. Only the long red one would work IMO! But if i could pick anything it'd be the graham norton dress! But if there is no change then she should just lose those horrid gladiator shoes... Which I think she will as she has been wearing those a lot! Edited May 9, 201411 yr by Jack89
May 9, 201411 yr Currently #34 in the official chart bit of a drop from yesterday, hopefully tomorrow will give it a late boost
May 9, 201411 yr Finally some movement for Molly on iTunes - Currently at #38 and #96, I think she will get a huge boost on the back of the performance tomorrow.
May 9, 201411 yr Molly's Afternoon Rehearsal: 1cqz0t-hVr8 Some Website comments: UK were last up and Molly delivered the goods once she got past the first minute. There’s still a feeling the staging and camerawork is too static, but Molly more than makes up the deficit during the middle-eight. I think the live crowd and pyros will really lift Children of the Universe. Interestingly, UK’s Graham Norton is featured sharing jokes with the presenters for roughly one minute after the song, so the UK’s entry is effectively 4-minutes long!During the first rehearsal for the grand final just now Britain's @mollysd received the loudest applause in the #eurovision press room Up last! Finally! It’s my home country! I am not quite sure if this is a good draw or not for us? Time will tell. The postcard consists of Molly with some Red London Buses, Royal Mail Vans, and a bunch of people in blue ponchos as she stands on a crane to take the photo. She is wearing an interesting concoction which looks like something made up of feathers. the backing dancers and drummer are wearing feather shoulder pads. Visually, this is stunning. But there are no pyros – these cost money so they’ll likely be saving them for tonight! In hindsight, I think this is actually a good draw for us! Could we finally do it? I'm so Happy with Molly right now!
May 9, 201411 yr So I'm guessing the juries didn't mark that as there are no pyros? It is all rather static and the movements all looks too planned - hopefully she will bring 'it' more on the night otherwise that isn't good enough.
May 9, 201411 yr Not yet no! The juries mark on tonight's performance where they'll crack out the pyros for sure!
May 9, 201411 yr Author Yes, the juries vote on the rehearsal tonight from 8pm. You can listen to the audio of the rehearsal on ESC Xtra's live stream if you are interested.
May 9, 201411 yr Molly just done her Jury perfoemance and sounding f**king fantastic! GO MOLLY! @ESCtips_Gavster 9s Just to let you know, @mollysd totally stole the show. 10/10 vocal. 10/10 staging. 10/10 for everything! #Eurovision #JoinUs Daniel Gould @sofabet 19s UK: Molly starts strongly and brings her A-game to the jury final. Clear vocals and a very powerful middle eight. Minipop Icons @MinipopIcons 52s That is the best performance the UK has had since Katrina and the Waves. The bit where the lanterns rise up is a goosebumps moment. Rob Furber @ferrisdayoff 1m All UK fans on edge of seats… & Molly delivers. Compared to recent years for UK a total triumph #Eurovision #JoinUs Keith Mills @KeithM 1m Fantastic show closer from the U.K.'s Molly. Bang on the money vocally & visually. 5th in the #eurovision betting. Prediction Top 5. Winner?
May 9, 201411 yr She sounded the best I've heard her. It sounded a million times better than anything else. I hope she delivers tomorrow and if she doesn't win I will be majorly disappointed
May 9, 201411 yr Twitter is awash with comments - @kevthepunter: Molly brings a strong performance in the Eurovision judges performance. @JLucas86: Great vocals and a very confident performance from Molly for the United Kingdom. Great closer & in with a real chance. 1-5th. #eurovision @pipparcha: Eurovision crowd going absolutely crazy for Molly at Jury Final, singing back every word of Children of the Universe!

May 9, 201411 yr I think tomorrow is going to be a return to the years of the voting all coming down to the last few nations to decide the winner - So excited now and the fact there are so many positive comments is amazing! Come on Molly we have been waiting 17 years for this!
