Predict and speculate and join us at 8! :w00t:

Turkey or UK for the win!!! Azerbaijan for 3rd, Sweden for Top 5.

 

Norway will probably win, but I bloody hope not.

I'm tempted to stay up and try to get a feed from somewhere and prey Star Tech doesn't $h!t bricks and throw me off the network.

 

Iceland, Ukraine, Norway, UK, Romania and Turkey are my favourite qualifiers.

 

I quite like Germany too :kink:

You missed out a Ukraine reference :kink:

 

Anyway, Ukraine, UK or (I suppose) Turkey FTW. B&H is bland. Norway is twee. Azerbaijan is :puke2:

 

I hope France and Portugal do well too.

I'm backing France tonight. Epic choon.

I just wish there was a dance remix of France, it would sound awesome tech-house style...

Must Balkan fairytales always be true at my crisis night?

 

:kink:

Tron's is better.

 

And, it seems Tom & I have really similar tastes. Ukraine, UK & Turkey would all come in my Top 6.

8 songs isn't enough? :(

No Romanian love? :cry:

Sorry Phil, but I think it's really bland...

 

Tron's is better.

 

And, it seems Tom & I have really similar tastes. Ukraine, UK & Turkey would all come in my Top 6.

 

TBH, Turkey isn't top 6 for me, but as a potential winner I would accept it, and I wouldn't mind going to Istanbul next year :kink:

 

And I liked yours Pavel :wub: But I spotted Ukraine now - "fine" :nocheer:

I hope Albania will manage to get their 2nd top 10 :)

 

and I hope everyone else wins besides Norway :puke:

8 songs isn't enough? :(

It's enough, it just doesn't go as well as Tron's, but it is great.

It's enough, it just doesn't go as well as Tron's, but it is great.

^_^

 

I might try something again :kink:

You missed out a Ukraine reference :kink:

EDIT: You noticed 'fine' :heehee:

And Phil, if you're going to support Iceland call her by her proper name, Johanna Guðrun Jonsdottir, rather than that awful abortion of a bast*rdisation 'Yohanna' :puke::(

I would LOVE to see the following result:

 

1 - Iceland

2 - UK (well, either way around for the top two, I'm not fussed :P)

3 - France

4 - Bosnia

5 - Norway

6 - Sweden

7 - Armenia

8 - Moldova

9 - Ukraine

10 - Albania

 

I think that we'll see the following though:

 

1 - Norway

2 - Ukraine

3 - Bosnia-Herz

4 - Turkey

5 - UK

6 - Azerbaijan

7 - Greece

8 - Moldova

9 - Iceland

10 - Armenia

Done! ^_^

I like it. My ideal Top 10 :kink:

 

1. Portugal // Flor-de-Lis - Todas As Ruas Do Amor

2. Israel // Noa & Mira Awad - There Must Be Another Way

3. Ukraine // Svetlana Loboda - Be my Valentine! (Anti-crisis Girl)

4. Armenia // Inga & Anush - Jan Jan

5. Norway // Alexander Rybak - Fairytale

6. Moldova // Nelly Ciobanu - Hora Din Moldova

7. France // Patricia Kaas - Et S'il Fallait Le Faire

8. Greece // Sakis Rouvas - This Is Our Night

9. Turkey // Hadise - Dum Tek Tek

10. Croatia // Igor Cukrov feat. Andrea - Lijepa Tena

 

:heart: I'll DIE if this happens. But no f***ing way this IS going to occur :rofl:

No way that three of the most underwhelming songs of this fantastic final (Portugal, Croatia and Israel) will make the top ten in any universe :P
