March 24, 201510 yr I hate to interrupt your 58,000th post of nothing but winging that contributes nothing BUT: A - Going on first is one of the best running order positions B - Sweden couldn't have gone first because they were drawn into the second half A) I don't agree that going on first is one of the best running order positions as people are likely to tune in late / forget earlier songs as the show moves on, especially if the song isnt extremely strong. B) RE Sweden yep I forgot about the first half/second half draw but regardless of that, my point was that it doesn't matter where they are placed and for others it does, so SE should have been given a worse slot. Plus if you're not happy with the tone of my comments then ignore them. If I want to comment negatively on aspects and give constructive criticism on how I think it would be better I shall. I'm not going to fangirl over everything just because I like eurovision- or because it is a popular opinion on the forum because the point is to discuss your point of view. As for contributing nothing, the point of a forum is to have discussions and content which create views/clicks/engagement and keeps the forum alive. There are many threads which are useless or games being created just to keep this forum activity high, whereas yano actual varied discussions with different opinions can also keep activity high too... And are much more beneficial than attempting to be 'sassy' at members ala 3rd rate buzzfeed memes or trying to be bitchy - which goes against the point of a forum to discuss, engage and keep it alive.
March 24, 201510 yr A) I don't agree that going on first is one of the best running order positions as people are likely to tune in late / forget earlier songs as the show moves on, especially if the song isnt extremely strong. B) RE Sweden yep I forgot about the first half/second half draw but regardless of that, my point was that it doesn't matter where they are placed and for others it does, so SE should have been given a worse slot. A) The first slot has statistically done very well recently. If the song isn't extremely strong then it probably shouldn't qualify in the first place, no matter where it performs. [it's very feel-good and memorable though, Lithuania will be just fine] B) Is 13th, snuck between Azerbaijan and Slovenia and a couple of moderate standard entries (Switzerland and Iceland), really a great slot for them? They're not closing the show as everyone predicted, settle down. Edited March 24, 201510 yr by Vülker
March 24, 201510 yr I'd happily see Sweden not winning the semi but to suggest they should've been given a worse slot to give everyone else a chance? That literally makes no practical difference at all given they're still qualifying no matter the position.

May 21, 201510 yr Go, go, go! One hour or two to make your predictions for the final running order. Unbelievable that the second half contains 95% ballads. Georgia and to a lesser extent Romania and Germany will really benefit!

May 21, 201510 yr Author Georgia and Germany are the real beneficiaries of the draw. Russia is really going to suffer from having all those female ballads around them.

May 21, 201510 yr That first half is amazing. Second half is going to drag a little bit isn't it? Would LOVE for Georgia to close the show.

May 21, 201510 yr Author In terms of pure logistics, I think they need the ad break to set up the Swedish screen so that makes me think they'll put the ad break after song 12 and put Sweden in 13.
May 21, 201510 yr Not only there's a lack of genre balance between halves but Lisa and Bojana are the only solo females in the first half while Boggie, Maria, Ann, Edurne, Nina, Monika, Elhaida, Polina and Aminata are in 2nd :lol:

May 21, 201510 yr Author See, I'm forgetting, do the people who sign off on the final running order see the results of the semi finals?
May 21, 201510 yr I presume not or at least we've never been told they have, otherwise it'd be too obvious who did well in the semis.
