Posted August 2, 20177 yr Hi! I agreed to be the sacrificial lamb that takes the UK, but in return I've also ended up with this eternal icon http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4pl66fZfN1rpq6ago1_400.gif *.* This is the first heat with more than four countries, and putting aside the UK, they don't have a full ten entries each either (unless we do wanna put in?!), so things won't be quite as straight forward. Please PM me your votes by 23:59 on Monday 7th August, results will take place the following afternoon/evening sorta time. I ask that you rank each countries entries in the usual manner with 12, 10, 8 etc, as far down as it'll go for that particular country. And before the results are presented, I'll have confirmed with our Eurovision mod overlords about how many wildcards there are this week and whether anything needs to be done in the interests of fairness to stop countries with less entries from having an advantage. BULGARIA GEORGIA POLAND RUSSIA UNITED KINGDOM
August 2, 20177 yr God, Bulgaria are SO GOOD and yet so often CRIMINALLY underrated! And Russia criminally overrated! Vøted btw
August 5, 20177 yr Lord, when you see them all put together like that, you realise how average our songs are.
August 5, 20177 yr I still think I Can, Children Of The Universe and It's My Time are fantastic songs, the first two definitely deserved top five and top ten respectively. The rest are varying levels of good to average to absolutely diabolical. Poland are the weakest link for me here, Bulgaria have the odd moment and Russia do female peace balladry well but the rest of their output is hugely overrated for me.
August 5, 20177 yr Author Poland are the weakest link for me here, Bulgaria have the odd moment and Russia do female peace balladry well but the rest of their output is hugely overrated for me. Very much agree, Bulgaria have the past two entries, Georgia have Shine and Russia have A Millon Voices & What If. I don't LOVE anything from the Polish lot, my 12 for them is probably my least favourite from all the heats so far. I know Donatan & Cleo are pretty popular but that's one of the worst!
August 5, 20177 yr Russia are really one of the worst. So many bores that do nothing to justify the positions they get. I have an easy 12 for that. Not that we're much better of course, I have an easy 12 for that too, the one time where I've watched Eurovision and actively cheered on our entry to do well. Georgia and Bulgaria are more my style though, great countries all round.
August 7, 20177 yr Author Votes received from gooddelta, Jerick, Ryan, Alex, Harry, Lex, Alpha, Iz and Adam. Everyone else has until the end of the day So Rob and Pavel, I'm looking in your direction
August 8, 20177 yr Author No other votes were received so just them nine plus myself, let's get this underway BULGARIA 6th 2013 ► Elitsa & Stoyan - Samo shampioni 51pts 7th 2010 ► Miro - Angel si ti 47pts 8th 2009 ► Krassimir Avramov - Illusion 38pts And our first super obvious straight to the final qualifier.. 2016 ► Poli Genova - If Love Was a Crime POLAND 6th 2015 ► Monika Kuszyńska - In The Name of Love 55pts 7th 2009 ► Lidia Kopania - I Don't Wanna Leave 53pts (no 12s, one 10) 8th 2010 ► Marcin Mroziński - Legenda 53pts (no 12s, no 10s) And another final qualifier that seems to be head and shoulders above the rest for some people 2014 ► Donatan & Cleo - My Słowianie
August 8, 20177 yr I mean I do love Illusion as a pure guilty pleasure car crash but those are fair enough results for Bulgaria.
August 8, 20177 yr Author Let's get these two out of the way before moving to the countries that require a little extra working out to get all potential wildcards on a level playing field FINALISTS 2017 ► Kristian Kostov - Beautiful Mess and 2017 ► Kasia Moś - Flashlight STILL IN WITH A SHOT? 2011 ► Poli Genova - Na Inat 2012 ► Sofi Marinova - Love Unlimited & 2008 ► Isis Gee - For Life 2011 ► Magdalena Tul - Jestem 5th 2008 ► Deep Zone & Balthazar - DJ, Take Me Away 58pts + 5th 2016 ► Michał Szpak - Color of Your Life 63pts
August 8, 20177 yr Hmmm, Flashlight feels like another one that just qualified because it was recent but then again Poland's not exactly a stellar set of songs so I'm not majorly distressed by that.
August 8, 20177 yr Author GEORGIA 6th 2008 ► Diana Gurtskaya - Peace Will Come 57pts 7th 2017 ► Tamara Gachechiladze - Keep The Faith 52pts 8th 2014 ► The Shin & Mariko - Three Minutes to Earth 41pts 9th 2012 ► Anri Jokhadze - I'm a Joker 25pts Qualification on lock.. 2015 ► Nina Sublatti - Warrior RUSSIA 6th 2014 ► Tolmachevy Sisters - Shine 57pts (no 12) 7th 2011 ► Alexey Vorobjov - Get You 49pts 8th 2012 ► Buranovskiye Babushki - Party for Everybody 45pts 9th 2010 ► Peter Nalitch and Friends - Lost and Forgotten 29pts Qualifier.. 2015 ► Polina Gagarina - A Million Voices
August 8, 20177 yr Lost and Forgotten in it's RIGHTFUL PLACE NO Color Of My Life deserved better but I didn't really care about Poland. Called Kristian, even though Bulgaria have many far better entries, I'm actually shocked that Love Unlimited is not getting its dues. I suppose the lack of Water makes it less imperative that Kristian be kept out of the top 2 though. Obvious 2015 qualifiers there, I hope there's another obvious 2015 qualifier later :D
August 8, 20177 yr Author PROGRESSING 2010 ► Sopho Nizharadze - Shine 2016 ► Sergey Lazarev - You Are the Only One POSSIBLY PROGRESSING 2011 ► Eldrine - One More Day 2013 ► Sopho Gelovani & Nodiko Tatishvili - Waterfall 2009 ► Anastasia Prikhodko - Mamo 2013 ► Dina Garipova - What If 5th 2016 ► Nika Kocharov & Young Georgian Lolitaz - Midnight Gold 62pts (agog that this picked up so many points!!) 5th 2008 ► Dima Bilan - Believe 57pts (one 12) And...I need to pop out for a bit so I'll have to save the rest for later when maybe Lex will be joined by some other spectators
August 8, 20177 yr I'm quite surprised that Party For Everybody only finished in 8th, I always thought that was quite popular? I'm not complaining, Russia definitely have better entries, but I thought it had a good shot of getting through. Hoping that Love Unlimited can make it through as a wildcard along with maybe Jestem or Mamo
August 8, 20177 yr Hyped for this to resume when Jahq's back (and for the queen to get her rightful Wildcard place!) http://wiwibloggs.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/sofi-marinova-eurovision-2012-dance.gif
August 8, 20177 yr Author I'm quite surprised that Party For Everybody only finished in 8th, I always thought that was quite popular? I'm not complaining, Russia definitely have better entries, but I thought it had a good shot of getting through. I can't say I really expected it through when A Million Voices, You Are The Only One and What If are in the mix but I am surprised (but also DELIGHTED) that it didn't do a bit better as I thought it was rather well liked (for some strange reason that I can't comprehend) for a novelty entry too. Only getting 3 from Ryan was especially pleasing :D So what about our own entries? 6th 2013 ► Bonnie Tyler - Believe In Me 54pts 7th 2015 ► Electro Velvet - Still in Love With You 39pts 8th 2012 ► Engelbert Humperdinck - Love Will Set You Free 32pts 9th 2010 ► Josh Dubovie - That Sounds Good to Me 25pts 10th 2008 ► Andy Abraham - Even If 19pts And of course, our most successful entry of the past ten years is one of the British entries guaranteed to move on to the next stage 2009 ► Jade Ewen - It's My Time
