May 12, 20187 yr Those results were amazing! Happy for Netta and Israel even though I voted for Cyprus (and poor brave Jess). Won a bit more money on Denmark finishing top ten (yassss at the public reception to that!) giving me a profit of a whopping £1.50 this year overall!

May 12, 20187 yr Eesh at Macedonia, that's so poor for them. Romania so close is heartbreaking but given it would have knocked out Hungary I'm not sure I'd have wanted it to be the other way. Serbia should have been out. Norway getting the accolade of worst performing semi winner! HA! :D Though surprising given how much the odds fell when he did perform.
May 12, 20187 yr Macedonia deserved BETTER. The song, massively! The performance got what it deserved, though!

May 12, 20187 yr Damn the twitter comments on Israel winning are scathing. At least in response to the british news feeds.
May 12, 20187 yr Damn the twitter comments on Israel winning are scathing. At least in response to the british news feeds. I noticed that. Seems like they also wanted Cyprus to win. :(
May 12, 20187 yr How are you doing my friend? Its been a long time :) I’m good! It has! How are you doing?
May 12, 20187 yr Well done on your winnings :rofl: Thank you, so happy, I’m not sure what to do with them all!
May 12, 20187 yr I still maintain that "Don't Come Easy" was a decent song on the studio version, but yeah it deserved its televote based on the live performance. Dami absolutely slayed - one of my favourite performances at Eurovision of ALL TIME. Can she just like, come back next year please? Yeah the studio is alright, that live vocal was Sarah Hardling levels of tragic :lol: Dami still gives me goosebumps. Being in the arena for that SF performance was such an incredible experience. First Semi-Final 1. Israel (283 points) 2. Cyprus (262 points) 3. Czech Republic (232 points) 4. Austria (231 points) 5. Estonia (201 points) 6. Ireland (179 points) 7. Bulgaria (177 points) 8. Albania (162 points) 9. Lithuania (119 points) 10. Finland (108 points) 11. Azerbaijan (94 points) 12. Belgium (91 points) 13. Switzerland (86 points) 14. Greece (81 points) 15. Armenia (79 points) 16. Belarus (65 points) 17. Croatia (63 points) 18. F.Y.R. Macedonia (24 points) 19. Iceland (15 points) Second Semi-Final 1. Norway (266 points) 2. Sweden (254 points) 3. Moldova (235 points) 4. Australia (212 points) 5. Denmark (204 points) 6. Ukraine (179 points) 7. The Netherlands (174 points) 8. Slovenia (132 points) 9. Serbia (117 points) 10. Hungary (111 points) 11. Romania (107 points) 12. Latvia (106 points) 13. Malta (101 points) 14. Poland (81 points) 15. Russia (65 points) 16. Montenegro (40 points) 17. San Marino (28 points) 18. Georgia (24 points) WTF happened to Australia?! Looks like the weak semi perhaps inflated a few scores there. Thrilled San Marino beat someone and Slovenia qualified fairly comfortably in the end.
May 12, 20187 yr Thanks Cyprus for the 66/1 each-way back in April for a 25p e/w bet. Eleni didn't look that impressed in losing.
May 12, 20187 yr So looking at those results in more detail. - Right top 2, those were fantastically performed songs, I'd have given the edge to Fuego but Toy is certainly not a bad winner and far better than last year. - Austria in 3rd is so weird. I've always said it's a competently performed pop song but it was some way off being the third-best song of the night. Same for the rest of the top 5, it's nice to see Germany doing well again but it's such a bore of a song and Italy in 5th is the most out of nowhere undeserving performance of the night, it felt so flat after Fuego. - Good rest of the top 10, Rasmussen getting top 10 is really surprising given how weak it was performed and Czechia getting their best ever result is cool to see but not with their best song ever, but Moldova, Estonia and Sweden well deserved their success. Albania, Lithuania, France and Bulgaria make up a good set of songs just missing the top 10, Bulgaria lost their top 10 or bust streak but I guess that was on the cards. I would have called most of those in the top 10 though. - BYE NORWAY. - Ireland getting a midtable result as I predicted, about the only thing that I predicted kind of right. - Ukraine clearly got massively sabotaged by being on first, that could have been an easy top 10 had it been 10 songs later. - Netherlands, Serbia and Australia all did decent but Jess got massively sabotaged by that televote last, I don't think she deserved that. - Hungary bump up against the current ceiling for melodic death metal then, good considering how it scraped through the semis but it's a shame that said ceiling has gotten so low, that would have been top 10 ten years ago :( - Fairly predictable bottom 5 although I did think Saara might have done more. Surie had a great performance but the song just wasn't there for us. We need to be better at selecting those.
May 12, 20187 yr Also, how ironic that the BBC rejected the song that's just come 3rd for Austria from Eurovision: You Decide. Slow clap everyone!
May 12, 20187 yr A superb top 2 and I'd have been happy either way :wub: So thrilled at the brilliant placing for Germany too, I had hoped it would catch on like it did, a superb song performed brilliantly. Sweden in the top 10 is great (though its televote result disappointed me) and I can't really complain at the UK result when I expected worse! Had hoped Ireland would do better but it was pleasing for it to make it through the semis so I won't complain.
May 12, 20187 yr still reeling from Australia coming last in the televote? that seriously can not be right?!
