February 20, 200916 yr Kristina is going to win let's face it, she's latvia and Ireland always gives Latvia the 12 and we'll be doing the same tonight unfortunatly. :( The only chance Laura might have is if she is rated highly by the judges and Kristina is rated lowly, so let's all hope Kristina's performance is a snores fest.
February 20, 200916 yr Author The juries are made up of music professionals and Eurovision fans, so I think they'll like Laura as long as the performance is good. Fingers crossed! ^_^ The only chance Laura might have is if she is rated highly by the judges and Kristina is rated lowly, so let's all hope Kristina's performance is a snores fest. Lol. I like the song, but I'd prefer Laura to go to Moscow. I just hope this isn't a repeat of Eurosong 2008 where the best person comes second. >.<
February 20, 200916 yr They're kind of oldschool though. I'm quite sure it will be Lee or Kristina. Something to look at, or something to listen to... Why does everybody assume whenever juries are mentioned in any context of Eurovision that they will be the polar opposite of the televoters? These juries are made up of record company execs who will obviously look for something contemporary, and Eurovision experts, people who know what does well at Eurovision. If any part of the voting is going to be "old school" it will be the televoters. The target audience of The Late Late Show is anything but young and trendy.
February 20, 200916 yr Kristina is going to win let's face it, she's latvia and Ireland always gives Latvia the 12 and we'll be doing the same tonight unfortunatly. :( Ah yes but Ireland can't vote for itself at Eurovision remember. There are still lots more Irish people in Ireland than Latvian people lol
February 20, 200916 yr Ah yes but Ireland can't vote for itself at Eurovision remember. There are still lots more Irish people in Ireland than Latvian people lol Yes but Latvians only have one song to vote for while Irelands vote will be split between 5 different songs. I'd love to think the Latvian people in Ireland wouldn't just vote for Kristina because she's Latvian but I really doubt they'll vote for anything else -_- (maybe the odd person will) If I was in Latvia and thier was an irish singer in the national final I wouldn't vote for it if I didn't like it but maybe that's just me. :( This probably sounds wrong but I'm finding it hard to imagine Ireland actually sending Laura, we'd never make such a good decision. :nocheer: Edited February 20, 200916 yr by Sabrewulf238

I'm just hopelessly trying to stay positive :(
February 20, 200916 yr I know I know.... I'm just hopelessly trying to stay positive :( I know but I don't know what will happen, it's all down to the performances tonight......Laura is going to have to absolutly kill it on stage (in the good way :P) I'm going to vote as many times as I can for Laura but I don't know if she can beat Kristina :/ If we end up picking Johnny Brady though I'm leaving the country, anything but that song :puke2: Edit: On the bright side though I showed all six songs to my mum (who watchs the late late show alot) and she prefers Out of Control! :D Edited February 20, 200916 yr by Sabrewulf238
February 20, 200916 yr Jerry Springer is now confirmed for the Eurosong panel. :P "What's that? Eurovision? Let's get Jerry Springer in. He'll know what to do."
February 20, 200916 yr Why does everybody assume whenever juries are mentioned in any context of Eurovision that they will be the polar opposite of the televoters? These juries are made up of record company execs who will obviously look for something contemporary, and Eurovision experts, people who know what does well at Eurovision. Because of the drastic modernisation of the ESC since televoting came into force? :P
February 20, 200916 yr Because of the drastic modernisation of the ESC since televoting came into force? :P Yes but I believe they couldn't get a jury from 1997 for tonight so they've brought in juries from 2009....
February 20, 200916 yr Author ESCToday Poll: * Laura-Jayne Hunter - Out of control (36.5 %) * Sinead Mulvey & Black Daisy - Et cetera (30.4 %) * Kristina Zaharova - I wish I could pretend (16.5 %) * Lee Bradshaw - So what (8.7 %) * M.N.A - Flying (5.2 %) * Johnny Brady - Amazing (2.6 %) If that reflects televoting (which it probably won't), then it's a good boost for Laura-Jayne.
February 20, 200916 yr I'll be crossing my fingers, toes, arms and anything else I have for Laura tonight!!! I just hope she can make it through, I saw a clip on the news of her singing and it's looking good....she just needs to blow everyone away now :D Laura-Jayne Hunter to Moscow!! :cheer:
February 20, 200916 yr Because of the drastic modernisation of the ESC since televoting came into force? :P and the fact that the very old sounding Even If ranked highly amongst the jury votes that were leaked last year -_-
February 20, 200916 yr and the fact that the very old sounding Even If ranked highly amongst the jury votes that were leaked last year -_- Was that not the San Marino votes? Wasn't that just a protest against eastern block voting? I heard it was........ Edited February 20, 200916 yr by Sabrewulf238
February 20, 200916 yr I thought some other jury votes leaked and had UK near the top...can't remember which countries though
February 20, 200916 yr Watching it now. Hang on, can we vote? There seem to be UK style numbers for NI voters. Will they work in England? TBH it doesn't matter though, cos my BF wants to watch Idol...
February 20, 200916 yr Author They could work, I'm not too sure! Laura's performance was awesome! The dancers need to be kicked off, but it was :heart: :heart: :heart: Edit: Lee can't sing live. I think we don't need to worry about him... Edited February 20, 200916 yr by Cal
February 20, 200916 yr Stupid Juries! They wouldn't know a good song if it slapped them in the face! :angry: Imagine the points they gave out of Control, it's a disgrace! I'm really worried for Irelands chances now......et cetera is a great song but I'm not sure how it will fare :nocheer:
February 20, 200916 yr Good song, but I think too rock for Eurovision, not sure it will qualify. Also I didn't see the live performance though...
February 20, 200916 yr Yes the final placings were: 1st. Et cetera 2nd. I wish I could pretend 3rd. Out of Control 4th. Flying 5th. So what 6th. Amazing It was nearly a clean sweep for et cetera with the juries, giving them 10, 10, 10 and 8 points. It topped the public vote too giving them 40 points aswell Out of control just got 1's and 2's from the juries :( but came second in the televote Edited February 20, 200916 yr by Sabrewulf238
