Agreed. But, every seems to love it :(

Not me :(

:o I'd be in HEAVENS if Portugal finish Top 10! :heart:

 

And @ FinalCylon: your predicta's contain two 6th places, as much as you want this to happen - it's impossible.

Not me :(

We have 3 people now, that's it though :(

If Norway wins I'll be so disappointed - me no like it!! :puke2:

I'm beginning to be convinced that they won't TBH. But who will? Not so sure :unsure:

I really pray to god that they can do it. I will be voting for them. I guess it's impossible for them to win, but I would turn cartwheels if they matched or bettered their best position ever - 6th, in 1996, with this:

I'm so voting for it too. :heart: Ukraine will get our 12 without me :kink:

 

Very nice song actually! I rarely like the late 90's stuff but this is really good :o

Yeah, Eurovision kind of sucked in the mid-to-late 90s... but you can see why that did well :)

Norway is the favorite because it combines the block vote of Scandinavia with a Belarussian singer designed to pick up a bunch of 8's and 10's from the "Soviet" block. (Can't get no 12's from them... that's reserved for Svetlana Loboda / Ukraine.) Also, it's a catchy tune and appeals to the lowest common denominator, objectionable to no one and loved by some. Additionally, Norway is the favorite with the bookies, with some giving less than 1-1 odds for bets on Norway to win. I put Norway as #1 in my predictions, but I don't really like it, at least not enough for it to win and to be subjected to hearing it dozens of times on the radio.

 

You're in the US, you'll probably never hear it once on the radio! It's us Europeans that have to suffer! Although the UK, not so much :nocheer:

It's a rare chance if we hear a Belarus'/Ukrainain entry on the radio let alone the winner :heehee:

The 90s had two of the best Eurovision winners EVER. 1995 and 1996. :kink:

Those are both horrible IMHO :puke2:

Really? Even in Russian versions? :(

I'm in Lithuania, but you don't have a Lithuanian flag here. :lame:

 

OMG, really? Must update that... What's your feelings on Sasha then?

Really?! :o I must say that there are flags of the countries that are closer to Lithuania though :heehee:

Yes :(

It's okay. I'm an American citizen anyway, with Lithuanian residency. About Lithuania's Sasha, I think I feel the same way as most here. I think he qualified only barely and will only rack up a few points. I like the song, but it pales in comparison to the competition. It's an improvement over last year's entry, but still Lithuania doesn't quite "get it" when it comes to picking its entries to Eurovision. Lithuania is a country of singers, so there is hope for the future, but it's a small country, so be patient. Of course, there was the near miss in 2006 with "We are the Winners."
