orpheus

Lots of Cypriot and Greek students there. I expect UK to give points to both Greece and Cyprus (more points to Cyprus). Cyprus will probably give an 8 or 10 to Loreen. And i can see Israel giving 8-12 too, as Euphoria has already charted at 3 or something.

01 Sweden: Loreen - Euphoria 02 Serbia: Željko Joksimovic' - Nije Ljubav Stvar 03 Spain: Pastora Soler: Quédate conmigo 04 Russia: Buranovskiye Babushki - Party for Everybody 05 Italy: Nina Zilli - L'amore è femmina (Out of Love) 06 Turkey: Can Bonomo - Love Me Back 07 Albania: Rona Nishliu - Suus 08 Romania: Mandinga - Zaleilah 09 Cyprus: Ivi Adamou - La La Love 10 Azerbaijan: Sabina Babayeva - When the Music Dies 11 Greece: Eleftheria Eleftheriou - Aphrodisiac 12 Ireland: Jedward - Waterline 13 Denmark: Soluna Samay - Should've Known Better 14 Iceland: Gréta Salóme & Jónsi - Never Forget 15 Estonia: Ott Lepland - Kuula 16 FYR Macedonia: Kaliopi - Crno I Belo 17 United Kingdom: Engelbert Humperdinck - Love Will Set You Free 18 Norway: Tooji - Stay 19 Ukraine: Gaitana - Be My Guest 20 Bosnia & Herzegovina: Maya Sar - Korake Ti Znam 21 Lithuania: Donny Montell - Love Is Blind 22 Germany: Roman Lob - Standing Still 23 Malta: Kurt Calleja - This Is The Night 24 Moldova: Pasha Parfeny - Lautar 25 Hungary: Compact Disco - Sound of our Hearts 26 France: Anggun - Echo (You and I) So strong this year. Not good at predictions but i think it could be anyone in the top 10 (apart from the bottom 5). Azerbaijan is only top 10 cause of being the host country, so as always it's a privilege. After semi 1, Ivi has the second most views, so must mean something.

Semi 2 because of Loreen and Turkey, unexpected good performance from Malta and less predictable than semi 1.

WHAT? Is this the real juries votes? Loreen on 3 points with Eleutheria and Tooji above her?

Israel was above and beyond everything. As if it's even possible to love "Time" even more. Retro village festival! Actually, pleased with the results, although Israel and Finland SHOULD had been in the final!

01 Sweeden: Euphoria 02 Israel: Time 03 Albania: Suus 04 Turkey: Love Me Back 05 Moldova: Lăutar 06 Slovenia: Verjamem 07 Italy: L'amore è femmina (Out of Love) 08 Spain: Quédate conmigo 09 Greece: Aphrodisiac 10 Netherlands: You and Me 11 United Kingdom: Love Will Set You Free 12 Finland: När jag blundar 13 Cyprus: La La Love 14 Hungary: Sound of Our Hearts 15 Norway: Stay 16 Romania: Zaleilah 17 Bosnia & Herzegovina: Korake ti znam 18 France: Echo (You and I) 19 Germany: Standing Still 20 Iceland: Never Forget 21 Austria: Woki mit deim Popo 22 Ukraine: Be My Guest 23 Belgium: Would You? 24 Bulgaria: Love Unlimited 25 Serbia: Nije ljubav stvar 26 Portugal: Vida minha 27 Montenegro: Euro Neuro 28 Croatia: Nebo 29 Denmark: Should've Known Better 30 F.Y.R.Macedonia: Crno i belo 31 Malta: This Is the Night 32 Estonia: Kuula 33 Azerbaijan: When the Music Dies 34 Switzerland: Unbreakable 35 Russia: Party for Everybody 36 Ireland: Waterline 37 Belarus: We Are the Heroes 38 San Marino: The Social Network Song 39 Latvia: Beautiful Song 40 Slovakia: Don't Close Your Eyes 41 Georgia: I'm a Joker 42 Lithouania: Love Is Blind If it's not Euphoria, Time would be a great winner too. Rona's expressions during the rehearsal made me love the song even more.

All Saints - Black Coffee All Saints - Pure Shores Girls Aloud - Sound Of The Underground Girls Aloud - Untouchable Sugababes - Freak Like Me Sugababes - Nasty Ghetto Sugababes - Overload Sugababes - Round Round Sugababes - Run For Cover Sugababes - Stronger All Saints - Dreams Destiny's Child - Lose My Breath Girls Aloud - No Good Advice Serebro - Song #1 Spice Girls - Say You'll Be There Spice Girls - Spice Up Your Life Spice Girls - Viva Forever Sugababes - Hole In The Head Sugababes - Million Different Ways t.A.T.u. - All the Things She Said Sugababes ruled pop world so good.

Such a brilliant catalogue and all they choose is XXXO and Paper Planes. Dead list.

When did Safura climb so high? Eric too!! Poor Sopho. Visionary Dream is spectacular. At least, Sertab finished Top 10!

Kati Wolf deserved SO much more than a wtf 22nd placement ! !

Results start to get better. Only 2 songs i dislike in Top 10. And how on earth did Jade Ewen make it to the final. Talking about dullest of dullest.

Yohanna? That's a surprise:/ Lovely to see Sopho moving into the top 10. Sertab, CLIMB.

Taken By A Stranger >> Satellite Still no votes for Sertab? !

Exciting. Some of my fave are up there..a few overrated too. All results will be announced tonight?

Surely Lady Gaga. Rihanna had to release 6 albums to have a brilliant song (Where Have You Been - although Hard is fantastic too), while Gaga managed it from her first one. Plus, Gaga is way more artistic.

Still feel a bit underwhelmed about Electra Heart, although Primadonna has grown on me. A few of the clips sound promising, hopefully they will remain that way in full length too.

I wish i could give more points to Eric..if only it was Manboy instead of Popular. And Safura looks like Miley's twin sister!

Athena' For Real is the first that comes on my mind.

Indeed. Safura, Blue and Getter Jaani over so many choices...not that they are bad.

Lady Gaga Madonna Kylie Minogue Beyoncé

These where the results out of all songs from last ten years or from a small selection?

Primadonna is the first MATD song i dislike. Instrumentally moue and doesn't lead anywhere. I don't get the hate for Radioactive though. Well it has nothing on TFJ era but i like it. A good different direction, unlike Primadonna.

I would say this is the first time in a LONG time that Cyprus has a big chance to do very well, although Ivi lacks of "stage quality". I think it may have a surprising ending as in 2004 with Lisa Andreas, plus i can see both of them Top 10. Aphrodisiac>La La Love

Eleutheria was the only decent presentation tonight. All other entries were so amateur...including the show itself. It reminded me a lot of Helena's performance, but pleased she won, after the fiasco with the amazing Tables Are Turning.

First song by M.I.A. i love since Jimmy. Brilliant video too.
