Nah I still reckon Armenia will win. ^_^ And if next year's Contest is in Yerevan, it will actually begin at midnight in Armenia! :o

What's with the whole "Armenia is going to win idea"?

 

I haven't seen much to say that Armenia are popular even on this forum the favorites are mostly Iceland and sweden.

 

I think people are overating Armenia's chances, no doubt they'll do well but I really can't see them winning.

uhmm I'm like 99% sure that Russia wins this year ^_^ :P

and that 1 % goes to Ukraine if it's a close but really close vote :lol:

 

hmm...its not as good as Never Let You Go so by rights it should finish lower...

 

Dima's English accent is a bit patchy too...I wish countries would sing in their native language

'Qele Qele' is a typical Eurovision winning sort of song. Has elements of Turkey 2003, Ukraine 2004 and Greece 2005 in it, and with the last two years having completely different winners, we're overdue a female ethnic pop/dance song. Loads of neighbours and $h!tloads of immigrants everywhere will also contribute, and I can't see them being beaten.

overdue a female ethnic winner because we haven't had one in a whole two years :rofl:

 

I'd much prefer a female schlager winner :kink:

You know that's the way it works though Rich! :heehee:

Am I the only person who finds Russia's song bland and boring? Don't get me wrong, Dima is a great singer, but the song doesn't seem to go anywhere. It just sounds like one long sentence to me. :unsure:

 

I'm quite surprised with Iceland, Belgium and The Netherlands being pushed down. Greece seem to be popular this year.... again. I'm not a fan of their entries, they seem to be the same every single year.

 

Oh, and don't even get me started about our entry. <_<

its ok, but its like a weaker version of Timbaland's Apologize sung by a weaker singer...not a song that should win

I reckon Dima could get some of the gay vote tbh. I mean, just look at him! :o

better than any bookies odds I would say...only a couple of things I would disagree with if I did my own odds. Czech Republic would be at 150/1...the new arrangement of their song is dire. I'd have Latvia at about 20/1, Andorra at about 100/1, Ireland at 5/1...other than that, perfect!

I reckon Dima could get some of the gay vote tbh. I mean, just look at him! :o

SURELY the gay vote will go to the far superior Euroband or schlager queen Charlotte Perrelli

Iceland are being underestimated by many bookies I reckon. If/when they make the final, I can see their odds shooting up. :D Latvia's song makes me want to vomit. I used to think it was a fun, harmless song. Now I find it absolutely terrible. I think Andorra can do alright, now I've heard the HQ! Such a great song, hope it makes the final.

Hmm well I suppose there's the "love of music" vote and the "lust" vote. Haha. :heehee:

Latvia's song is alright, its harmless really :P it's like a kids version of Lordi and its insanely catchy and not that annoying after one listen, which is all you get at Eurovision, well for those that don't watch the semis

 

Gisela is lucky she's in semi-1 with all of the ethnic sounds...Casanova will stand out and have a small chance of qualifying. In Schlager heavy semi-2 it would have stood no chance as its weaker than Shady Lady and Hero
