Unless the performance can change the minds of the European voters...

 

Why do so many people hate Ireland this year? its their best song in a long time in my opinion...

I quite like it. ^_^ I just think it'll do $h!t.

They are a very old band for Eurovision aren't they, they must all be in their 40's or 50's

Switzerland and Russia are my faves, so i'm glad they both have good odds :D

Ooh UK down to 20/1, also the odds of them getting nil points on William Hill have shortened from 25/1 to 16/1 :-0 Surely with 42 countries voting nil points will be a thing of the past

It very nearly wasn't though for Malta last year and Norway in 2004. :o

True, I suppose it is more likely to happen in the semis than in the final but I still doubt it will happen (though it deserves to happen to Armenia and Albania)

Oh yeah Switzerland got nul in 2004 didn't they? We could be the only ones to save Ireland too, like in 2004. :ph34r:

I like Dervish's song but it is soooooo 90's...

 

Like something that might have been on a Corrs b-side

Not particularly good odds for the UK... I remember on the night of the 2005 final, Javine was at 33/1, so we'll see how Scooch do in comparison to her! Daz was about 12/1 I think. :unsure:

Daz was tipped to do quite well...I still can't believe he didn't finish top 10...at the very least he should have come 16th behind Texas Lightning...the 3 songs between Germany and Daz were c**p which were only saved from the bottom 3 by political voting...

Nice odds for Norway :o

 

I think a fiver may actually be worth it ^_^
