I just would be shocked if Serbia won...its not in English

 

Why's it so important that it has to be in English...? Frankly, I'm a bit shocked that most of these non-UK entrants are singing in English... Kinda thought the whole idea of Eurovision was to celebrate the diversity of European culture, or is that just me...? :unsure:

Its not important to me, but it is to many others...no foreign song has EVER won in the televoiting era

Ruslana sang 50/50 :)

Dana International sang in Hebrew ;)

 

Although that was back when it was compulsory to sing in your own language :lol:

It should still be compulsory to sing in your own language imo. The UK, Ireland and Malta would do lots better! :lol:

Then I'd have to use Ceefax's subtitles and they're annoying :(

 

Plus, I don't reckon Serebro would be anywhere near as good in Russian :lol:

Nah, neither do I but they might make an English version anyway, and just not use it for the Contest. :funky:

I'm thinking Hungary and Iceland have pretty good chances. ^_^ I reckon both will qualify from the semis. :funky:

I'm thinking something like this now for the semis. :funky: Just re-done my ESC Today Big Poll! :lol:

 

1 Serbia

2 Bulgaria

3 Switzerland

4 Iceland

5 Belarus

6 Turkey

7 Hungary

8 FYR Macedonia

9 Moldova

10 Slovenia

11 Malta

12 Cyprus

13 Latvia

14 Georgia

15 Netherlands

16 Israel

17 Andorra

18 Norway

19 Croatia

20 Denmark

21 Estonia

22 Montenegro

23 Portugal

24 Czech Republic

25 Austria

26 Poland

27 Belgium

28 Albania

 

I can see Cyprus falling at the first hurdle now... the song isn't at all catchy and singing in French lessens its chances. Malta and Latvia will also just miss out imo, though Latvia could do the complete opposite and get 200+ points. :lol: Iceland and Hungary will also do well, as I just mentioned. :funky:

Personally I'm rooting for...

 

Hanna Parakinen - How could I not.. The song is FAB.

Dmitry Koldun - Work Your Magic.. The song is simple, but I like it

I'm really liking Hanna atm too. :wub: Not keen on Koldun though. :(

I can see Latvia qualifying but I genuinely pray that Iceland and Hungary will not qualify

 

I am loving Dimitry's song...I know I've said it before but its so classy

It's classic, but it's got an element of cheese (in the lyrics)..

I'd like to see a Hanna/Dimitry win.. I think it's more likely out of Dimitry.. last I saw he was 3rd favorite.

I remember having to use cefax when i was little :lol:

I only watched Eurovision last year.. for the first time.. live streaming on the Internet. Quite thrilling however.. Can't wait for thi syear.

I want Serbia

 

will win Russia

Addy u r back :o :D

i think if not Serbia than Russia or hmmm Belarus will win so will be a balkan or ex-sssr country :D
