May 10, 201411 yr I do think people are getting a bit carried away, and I don't blame them considering the results we've had in the last decade. I'd love to be wrong though! I agree with that but that's probably 'cause I don't like the song much myself. Its hard to see the potential in songs you don't like. Sweden is another example for me but I put it down at #3 'cause everyone seems to love it. My own predictions: 01. Austria 02. Armenia 03. Sweden 04. The Netherlands 05. Azerbaijan 06. Greece 07. Norway 08. UK 09. Russia 10. Denmark 11. Finland 12. Italy 13. Poland 14. Ukraine 15. Switzerland 16. Hungary 17. Romania 18. Germany 19. Iceland 20. Malta 21. France 22. Montenegro 23. Belarus 24. Slovenia 25. San Marino 26. Spain Probably gonna be all off as per usual.
May 10, 201411 yr 01 Netherlands 02 United Kingdom 03 Sweden 04 Austria 05 Denmark 06 Greece 07 Ukraine 08 Armenia 09 Hungary 10 Norway 11 Spain 12 Malta 13 Romania 14 Finland 15 Switzerland 16 Russia 17 Italy 18 Slovenia 19 Azerbaijan 20 France 21 Poland 22 Montenegro 23 Iceland 24 Germany 25 Belarus 26 San Marino I have absolutely no clue
May 10, 201411 yr 01 UK 02 Austria 03 Sweden 04 Netherlands 05 Hungary 06 Greece 07 Norway 08 Spain 09 Ukraine 10 Malta 11 Romania 12 Switzerland 13 France 14 Poland 15 Denmark 16 Armenia 17 Italy 18 Montenegro 19 Iceland 20 Slovenia 21 San Marino 22 Azerbaijan 23 Finland 24 Russia 25 Germany 26 Belarus Is my brief final guess before tonight. Might have put Azerbaijan and Armenia a bit low but I can't see either of them living up to expectations right now.
May 10, 201411 yr I haven't a notion but here we go.... 1. The Netherlands 2. Austria 3. United Kingdom 4. Sweden 5. Armenia 6. Greece 7. Norway 8. Hungary 9. Azerbaijan 10. Ukraine 11. Malta 12. Denmark 13. Switzerland 14. Spain 15. Iceland 16. Italy 17. Romania 18. Russia 19. Finland 20. Montenegro 21. France 22. Poland 23. Belarus 24. San Marino 25. Slovenia 26. Germany I think my guess would be as accurate as random.org. :P Edited May 10, 201411 yr by Sabrewulf
May 10, 201411 yr The top five could all go either way tbh. 01 Sweden 02 Austria 03 Greece 04 The Netherlands 05 United Kingdom 06 Hungary 07 Denmark 08 Ukraine 09 Norway 10 Armenia 11 Malta 12 Switzerland 13 Azerbaijan 14 Spain 15 Romania 16 Italy 17 Russia 18 Iceland 19 Poland 20 France 21 Slovenia 22 Finland 23 Montenegro 24 Germany 25 San Marino 26 Belarus
May 10, 201411 yr aren't you a gay man yourself? Perhaps Alex just doesn't like the song? Just because it's a drag queen performing, doesn't mean he needs to like the song... :P
May 10, 201411 yr Worked towards the middle here 1 United Kingdom 2 The Netherlands 3 Austria 4 Hungary 5 Denmark 6 Sweden 7 Greece 8 Armenia 9 Ukraine 10 Malta 11 Spain 12 Norway 13 Italy 14 Azerbaijan 15 France 16 Romania 17 Russia 18 Montenegro 19 Poland 20 Switzerland 21 Finland 22 Iceland 23 Slovenia 24 Belarus 25 San Marino 26 Germany I couldn't not put the UK first with how much I'm willing it on. Get the general feeling now that Sanna won't be right up there and Austria is the one I think people are getting carried away with, I just can't see her quite managing it.
May 10, 201411 yr Perhaps Alex just doesn't like the song? Just because it's a drag queen performing, doesn't mean he needs to like the song... :P Given his record, I doubt it's just about the song. And plus, you really do have to wonder what is so offensive about a Bond ballad to have it described as 'the worst song ever entered in the history of the contest' by someone who has listened to every single song from it.

And plus, you really do have to wonder what is so offensive about a Bond ballad to have it described as 'the worst song ever entered in the history of the contest' by someone who has listened to every single song from it. You also have to remember that Alex considers 'Euphoria' to be one of the worst entries too. :lol:
May 10, 201411 yr It's quite random, true, but I'm certain there's at least some hipsterish motivation in these sort of things with Alex. If it's popular and he's not 100% behind it, it's the worst thing in the history of music. Also if the singer isn't blonde/is a man.
May 10, 201411 yr I'm surprised people are still putting Armenia top 5. Isn't the 'Sognu' vibe very strong?
May 10, 201411 yr I'm surprised people are still putting Armenia top 5. Isn't the 'Sognu' vibe very strong? I think they will get heavy neighbourly voting which will push them up the leaderboard.
May 10, 201411 yr I'm still surprised so many people think the UK will win, the song is quite poor. I fail to see what's so good about it, but good for the UK if I'm proven wrong :lol:
May 10, 201411 yr 01 United Kingdom 02 Sweden 03 The Netherlands 04 Hungary 05 Austria 06 Greece 07 Armenia 08 Denmark 09 Ukraine 10 Spain 11 Norway 12 Malta 13 Azerbaijan 14 Romania 15 Russia 16 Switzerland 17 Italy 18 France 19 Montenegro 20 Iceland 21 Poland 22 Finland 23 Slovenia 24 San Marino 25 Belarus 26 Germany I do wonder if Russia could be affected by political voting and get little to nothing from the Western countries. Also the fact that Azerbaijan had allegations of 'buying votes' could put people off them, if they still manage to finish top 10 then I can't see it ever not happening. Bit uncertain in the middle but I'm pretty certain on the top 9 and the bottom 3 (allowing for change within that). As great as it would be to see either The Netherlands or Austria win I just can't see them quite doing it, especially with the amount of countries that won't give anything to Conchita.

I fail to see what's so good about it, but good for the UK if I'm proven wrong :lol: I think it's because the reaction has been so strong and there seems to be no runaway winner/standout track, I think in stronger years we would be looking at a Top 5 finish but this year it feels like there is a real chance amongst the competition.
May 10, 201411 yr Probably be completely wrong, but I'll give it a shot - 1. Sweden 2. Netherlands 3. Armenia 4. Hungary 5. Austria 6. United Kingdom 7. Ukraine 8. Greece 9. Norway 10. Finland 11. Spain 12. Denmark 13. Malta 14. Russia 15. Poland 16. Azerbaijan 17. Switzerland 18. France 19. Italy 20. Romania 21. Iceland 22. Belarus 23. Germany 24. Montenegro 25. San Marino 26. Slovenia Clearly I was off, only got one in the actual position, Although I wasn't far off with a few of them. I was clearly convinced by everyone championing the UK though, 17th not 6th, what a shame..
May 11, 201411 yr 1. United Kingdom 188 (17th) 2. Hungary 184 (5th) 3. Sweden 181 (3rd) 4. The Netherlands 152 (2nd) 5. Armenia 147 (4th) 6. Austria 136 (1st) 7. Malta 125 (23rd) 8. Greece 114 (20th) 9. Spain 110 (10th) 10. Ukraine 99 (6th) 11. Azerbaijan 96 (22nd) 12. Norway 94 (8th) 13. Montenegro 84 (19th) 14. Romania 64 (12th) 15. Poland 61 (14th) 16. Slovenia 58 (25th) 17. Italy 49 (21st) 18. Denmark 34 (9th) 19. Russia 33 (7th) 20. France 31 (26th) 21. Germany 24 (18th) 22. Iceland 20 (15th) 23. Belarus 19 (16th) 24. San Marino 16 (24th) 25. Finland 15 (11th) 26. Switzerland 12 (13th) Only Sweden right! I got the top 5 in positions 2-6 I guess I just got swept up in the UK hype and my own admiration for the song.
May 11, 201411 yr Semi One 1 Armenia 2 Sweden 3 Ukraine 4 Montenegro 5 Netherlands 6 Belgium 7 Hungary 8 Azerbaijan 9 Moldova 10 San Marino (I feel that San Marino will qualify this year because of her 3rd participation) 11 Estonia 12 Albania 13 Russia (I think that Russia will not qualify this year /I smell a boycott..) 14 Latvia 15 Iceland 16 Portugal Semi 2 1 Austria 2 Finland 3 Greece 4 Romania 5 Israel 6 Norway 7 Ireland 8 Slovenia 9 Malta 10 Switzerland 11 Poland 12 Georgia 13 Fyrom 14 Belarus 15 Lithuania San Marino 10th? Poland 11th? Finland 2nd? Austria 1st? Azerbaijan only 8th? lol no Insomnio was pretty bang on the money with San Marino/Poland/Austria eh Pav? :P
May 11, 201411 yr For some reason I don't think Sweden are as safe as everyone thinks. I know no-one will agree with me, but it's just my opinion before everyone starts arguing with me! :kink: http://24.media.tumblr.com/97a1adf1703ddaade75ae8de7e23a169/tumblr_n56kzruAQU1twcyp1o1_400.gif So being brave, and/or stupid I'm going to go for some predictions :D Final 1 Austria 2 Norway 3 Hungary 4 Ukraine 5 Spain 6 Armenia 7 Romania 8 United Kingdom 9 Azerbaijan 10 Malta 11 Montenegro 12 Macedonia 13 Sweden 14 Poland 15 Greece 16 Iceland 17 Italy 18 Denmark 19 Belgium 20 Russia 21 Germany 22 Ireland 23 Lithuania 24 Israel 25 France 26 Netherlands I think Austria has the Dana Internation/Lordi factor, the casual viewer will be shocked, but then think "wow, this is great". *.* I'm still unsure of Molly's chances to win. I do wonder if the lack of interest will be represented across Europe but I hope not because she deserves a great result. I'd still be incredibly shocked if she won though, the victory buzz just isn't there :( I think we'll get lots of 4's and 5's and a respectable mid-low top ten finish. Respectable mid-low top 20 I must have meant :drama:
