July 16, 20178 yr Author For Switzerland, our top 2 are:Ā Sebalter - Hunter Of Stars Timebelle - Apollo Ā Switzerland's best qualifier ignores the handicap of being a man and whistles straight to the final, with their most recent mourned DNQ in tow.Ā Ā Anna Rossinelli - In Love For A While - 79 points Paolo Beneguzzi - Era Stupendo - 73 points Ā ---- Lovebugs - The Highest Heights - 60 pointsĀ Lovebugs are out but the other two are still in with a chance if they are the two highest scoring songs to not make it.
July 16, 20178 yr Author Malta top 2:Ā Ira Losco - Walk On Water Morena - Vodka Ā Ira's return storms through the Maltese round with VODKA similarly having no trouble.Ā Chiara - What If We - 76 points Firelight - Coming Home - 75 pointsĀ ---Ā Amber - Warrior - 72 pointsĀ Though Warrior is out, the same unfortunately applies to Firelight & Sons as the current top 2 second chance shortens to Chiara and Anna Rossinelli.
July 16, 20178 yr GREAT SUCCESS as with two 12s and a barrage of 1s, Identitet beats two out of the nine inferior Albanian songs to get into 8th place.Ā Name and shame the other person who needs a ban from this forum plsĀ Ā Lovebugs were great!!!! Damn. "Paper" isn't a major loss for me but I hope Hera is 5th because "Je Ne Sais Quoi" definitely isn't all that
July 16, 20178 yr Author Albania top 2:Ā Juliana Pasha - It's All About You Kejsi Tola - Carry Me In Your DreamsĀ 2009 and 2010 rep as the upbeat It's All About You and the epic Carry Me In Your Dreams get high points across the board.Ā Elhaida Dani - I'm Alive - 82 points Olta Boka - ZemrĆ«n e lamĆ« peng - 75 points ------Ā Rona Nishliu - Suus - 74 pointsĀ Bit of a shock to me as Suus is out with no possibility of return, but Elhaida has put herself into a very strong position as she takes the lead, with In Love For A While still in the mix in second place.Ā Now for Iceland, I can say that both the 3rd and 4th songs got 82 points or more BUT because Oliver voted only Iceland and not the other countries, I have adjusted those scores in order to fit in fairly with the rest of those competing for 3rd/4th places. Will that adjustment be enough to see Elhaida or Anna through against the Icelandic juggernaut?
July 16, 20178 yr Name and shame the other person who needs a ban from this forum pls Lovebugs were great!!!! Damn. "Paper" isn't a major loss for me but I hope Hera is 5th because "Je Ne Sais Quoi" definitely isn't all thatĀ It was me :lol: The song just holds sentimental value to me as it reminds me of my holiday to see ESC in Malmo in 2013, it was playing on loop in one of the supermarkets there <3Ā I'm gutted Lovebugs have fallen, was a #1 in my personal chart! Similarly, Era Stupendo was in my top 40 of 2008 and really should have gone further, gorgeous track.
July 16, 20178 yr Author Iceland top 2Ā Greta SalĆ³me & JĆ³nsi - Never Forget Yohanna - Is It True?Ā *.* as the better Greta entry goes through along with the Icelandic runner up ballad by Yohanna.Ā Euroband - This Is My Life - 88 points (less 12s) Greta SalĆ³me - Hear Them Calling - 86 pointsĀ -----Ā Hera Bjƶrk - Je Ne Sais Quoi - 85 pointsĀ NOTHING in it. Nothing. Ā Adjusting those scores (by multiplying them by 11/12, as there were 11 voters who voted for all plus Oliver), we get 79 points for Hear Them Calling... and 81 points for This Is My Life.Ā Therefore your two wildcard qualifiers are:Ā Ā Ā Elhaida Dani - I'm AliveĀ and Ā Euroband - This Is My LifeĀ
July 16, 20178 yr Author And this is a summary of the qualifiers from this round:Ā Elhaida Dani - I'm Alive Euroband - This Is My Life Greta SalĆ³me & JĆ³nsi - Never Forget Ira Losco - Walk On Water Juliana Pasha - It's All About You Kejsi Tola - Carry Me In Your Dreams Morena - Vodka Sebalter - Hunter Of Stars Timebelle - Apollo Yohanna - Is It True?Ā YAY
July 16, 20178 yr It was me :lol:Ā I'm gutted Lovebugs have fallen, was a #1 in my personal chart!Ā Well now I'm conflicted :heehee:Ā Heartbroken for "Hear Them Calling" all over again, but a massive yass at Euroband. Surprised that Albania have three entries through but "I'm Alive" is pretty great
July 17, 20178 yr Thank Christ that me not voting for all countries didn't stop Euroband getting through! :wub:Ā Disappointed at Hera Bjork not getting through. :( Edited July 17, 20178 yr by Oliver
