Edited May 22, 200817 yr by Pavel

You reckon Cyprus will qualify? :o I reckon they're near certs for nul points, no Greece to vote for them and they're the only ones who would really get that song! :lol:

 

And André, that's what's so spesh about this year duh :smoke::P

i have a hope, it's a nice song :D

 

anyway don't count these predictions in the 'SF prediction game' we made :lol:

I've had the Macedonian song in my head all day. :o

Ukraine - Ani Lorak - Shady Lady // 1/80

Sweden - Charlotte Perrelli - Hero // 1/14

Georgia - Diana Gurtskaya - Peace Will Come // 4/6

 

I hope they aren't right about Croatia.

Edited May 22, 200817 yr by Adi_Gallia

I highly doubt Croatia will qualify... in fact I'd put a hefty amount on them not qualifying. Can't see Hungary going through either. Blandfest tbh. :(

Hungary's been VERY well performed in the rehearsals, I can see it doing a Poland and (blatantly) getting the jury vote :cheer:

That's what I said about Finland. :P

Please vote for Turkey tonight! Im really worried that this will be a surprise non-qualifier and the song is sooo good

Turkey are 99% to get through tbh. ^_^ Although there are no 12s from Belgium or the Netherlands guaranteed tonight. :o Only one of France and Germany is voting too I think...
