May 11, 20178 yr That's another 6/4 split I've gone for, just as I did in semi 1 which meant I only got 9/10! But I'll stick with it now I've posted it, surely one day it'll happen?

May 13, 20178 yr I swear that the UK goes through the same cycle every year! Predicted as a no hoper when first announced, then slowly climbs up people's guesses to around the left side of the board in the run up to the show and then places at 22nd. :P
May 13, 20178 yr I swear that the UK goes through the same cycle every year! Predicted as a no hoper when first announced, then slowly climbs up people's guesses to around the left side of the board in the run up to the show and then places at 22nd. :P Didn't happen last year for my money, I was sure we were bottom then. And aside from personal bias making me want to put Electro Velvet higher, I don't think that was wildly predicted high either. I get what you're saying though, for myself, I'm not that keen on the entry as a song, I'm going off rumours of effective staging and a good draw in the running order for us sneaking a top 10. At the very least I think this'll be our best result since 2011.
May 13, 20178 yr Author The buzz is that the techies are big fans of the UK song which is worth at least something I guess. I'm refusing to believe it's a top 10 or anything until I see it though.
May 14, 20178 yr Very Early and subject to revision Semi Predictions Country Total Points (Jury Points+Televote Points) Semi One 01 Belgium 348 (182+166) 02 Sweden 248 (107+141) 03 Australia 195 (120+75) 04 Greece 173 (53+120) 05 Latvia 154 (65+89) 06 Iceland 139 (88+51) 07 Poland 132 (70+62) 08 Armenia 118 (58+60) 09 Montenegro 115 (30+85) 10 Azerbaijan 115 (46+69) --- 11 Georgia 114 (53+61) 12 Albania 113 (56+57) 13 Moldova 111 (45+66) 14 Portugal 106 (73+33) 15 Finland 102 (77+25) 16 Cyprus 76 (39+37) 17 Czech Republic 40 (37+3) 18 Slovenia 37 (19+18) Obviously between 8th and 15th it's mega tight so not even my "100 points" hypothesis would be enough to nail on qualification here. To my mind that probably means Portugal and Finland are even more dead than I thought they were. Hey Rich, if you wanna get payback on Lex, remind him of this one x

May 14, 20178 yr If Portugal didn't even win its own televote then I don't think it's going to win the televote in the semi-final! I think the fact it is so different to the rest of a Eurovision line-up is going to make it a lot of people's favourites, even if a lot of people will hate it. It doesn't stand out so much in the context of a Portuguese semi where so many things are of a similar genre, but in a Eurovision semi with everyone have fireworks here and holograms there I think it might just hit the sweet spot. Just saving this for when I get Finland 2015 thrown in my face in the future :kink:
May 14, 20178 yr Hey Rich, if you wanna get payback on Lex, remind him of this one x Ha! Well I'll give Lex his Italian blog post - bang on the money in the end! To be fair I didn't exactly expect an astonishing result from Portugal at that point either (though I thought it would convincingly Q at least, though I never made any predictions I've realised!). As I mentioned in the Portugal thread, it didn't do anything for me until hearing it on the official CD and realising how much it stood out. I guess all this shows is that we shouldn't necessarily base Eurovision winners on how well they did in their own national final, Portugal has shown how much momentum can be built from that point onwards in various ways. Also makes me appreciate Sweden's use of the international jury in their final...six top fives in seven years! Edited May 14, 20178 yr by gooddelta
