Betfair you can "cash out" whenever you want and they give better odds.

More snippets with more dramatic singing https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1IFu...x3Ir6seQ6O3dDvK

Very short snippet leaked https://twitter.com/Eurovisn_Turkey/status/...565654702936064 It originally comes from that big Russian site but was later deleted there.

I think Lewis will win because as obnoxious as he can be he is pretty self aware about it all and makes people laugh. I think his fans will be more motivated to vote and his haters will have too many housemates to spread their vote to and only a few minutes where there's just two of them left. And in a way he deserves it. He's what everybody is talking about and he's not a bad person.

What's wrong with WMYB for Talia? Seems suited to her voice and personality.

.

Grace with another dirge about her bf probably. I'd rather her do a cover tbh she's got some great covers on youtube.

I agree I agree and Ryan Gosling is such a useless singer Lloyd can only improve on it. Faith seems well suited to Sam too.

Scars To Your Beautiful is wonderful but Matt will suck all musicality out of it.

I missed it but if Grace was saying sorry it means she was walking out on them and not they were rejecting her. Janet Devlin says she wishes she had left after judges houses and Grace is a friend of hers.

Decoy sounds interesting, what do you mean? They wouldn't let her go because it wouldn't make sense in their narrative so I can't see her as wildcard. The two categories performing each day - I think you've got it there. But it would mean they are bending over backwards for her. They'd never normally allow an act to leave and do a concert the day before performing so I'm still not sure.

No way would they have kicked her out. She would have walked.

Looks like Grace out at judges house. https://twitter.com/seanmcginty/status/914900738433744897

The girls judges house finished this weekend. Any word on which three made it through? I put a bet on Grace a month ago.

Thanks Joseph. Here's the groups, also from Digital Spy. Now we're missing the boys and overs. - [ ] Afroswag - azonto - swapped for JBK, however they remained in their seats for so long, way too long (more talented people removed before them) - reminds me of a more talented Reggie and Bollie - [ ] ◦ 5 piece group from Essex - taken out for Rak-Su ◦ Three piece family - one girl, two boys - crowd and audience loved them ◦ Lemonade - 5 piece girl group - beautiful rendition of a Beyonce song, with special commendations to the youngest in the group, which the judges and the crowd raved about ◦ New Dynamix -crazy crowd obviously wanted them back - chanting nonstop between decisions etc onto no 15 (friends and family quickly became your worst nightmare) ◦ Transara (?) - Say Something - lovely couple who in my opinion had terrible voices (the crowd seemed to agree) but had so much emotion and stage presence that they won over everyone - easily took a seat that was later taken by two lads ◦ Jack and Joel - Lady Marmalade; Simon stopped them so they went into Bang Bang - Jack was very very sassy and audience loved them and both ◦ Northern Quarter - Pillowtalk; stopped by Simon then into No - I thought they were quite good, audience so so, judges didn’t see originality or good use of harmonies etc. - had the brilliant Ash ◦ Rak-Su - 4 Boys - Touch; stopped by Simon then into original (Change Your Mind) - They were fantastic both times, but the judges thought that their cover of Touch was too similar to Little Mix (tbf it was but it was good) - both times audience went ballistic (young men dancing, one taking clothes off afterwards), even more so with/after the second song - amazing reception - really popular with girls (it was literally deafening - not an exaggeration) ◦ Manchester Brothers - Heartless by Kanye West - two young lads that were decent but not up to par to the rest ◦ Loyalty (three girls) - a Chester song - everyone found it ok, but not something that deserves to go further ◦ JBK (travelled from Philippines) 3 boys - Million Reason; stopped by Simon then into I’ll Make Love to You - possibly the audience fan favourites. MR wasn’t the best, but Simon stopped them and they went into a magnificent rendition of I’ll Make Love to You which had the loudest audience screams you could possibly hear in your life - one of the lads high notes sent the arena into a frenzy - it was an easy seat which they took from Afroswag (the crowd was desperate for Afro to leave) - they left in a split decision after a sing off with Lemonade ◦ 6 girl FAEIM - first song / Say a Little Prayer - they were just ok, nothing special - crowd seemed exceptionally dead for them as they had lost their voices screaming and lost focus after a break (Simon needed the loo - it was very funny watching Simon run to the toilet!) ◦ Shelby Park Boys ? two boy and guitar (15/17) something in the way; stopped then into second original song ‘Time is a Remedy’ - took Transara (seat 5) - resurrected the dead crowd and made them emotional ◦ Girl group created by Sharon rejects - Hey Ma - great judge fantastic crowd reaction (only 24 hours) unnamed - Simon wanted to add Ash from Northern Quarter who got let go- ran through it - conflicted as she doesn't want to betray - Ash joined! Wasn't too convincing till she joined! ◦ JBK and Lemonade sing off (imo the two best) - JBK quite messy (disappointing after having the best performance of the night - nerves and crowd got to them) but still fab, Lemonade was angelic, beautiful- much better (even though JBK are my favorites) - Lemonade got through to great fanfare but at the same time massive outcry - these two groups were the most popular! But overall, this year has definitely been the best year for the groups. EVERY SINGLE GROUP was talented. Groups were only sent away for to being distinctive or wrong song choices etc. No joke acts (even Afroswag seemed dedicated)! Groups through Lemonade The CutKelvins Shelby Park Boys Sean & Conor Price Jack & Joel Rak-Su New Girlband (Kelsey Gill, Lydia Calvin, Charlie Cammis, Sky Amber, Ash Holme & Imogen James)

Joseph do you remember how each of those 6 performed and how they were received? Surprised to see Holly Tandy there. She seemed shouty and inexperienced to me.

Ryan could you write up an account of the 6 Chair Challenge please? I'm sure many here would like to read it (and you could hide it as a spoiler for those who wouldn't).

True, we shouldn't really worry so much about Saara. She triumphs with everything, except maybe Sound of the Underground but even that was down to the production iirc.

Did you check for a source for this? All I can find is a poster called Hannah who posted it on Digital Spy and TIBB. Until shown otherwise I call bullsh1t.

It makes a huge difference to her chances whether she sings a failed song nobody knows or one of the most anthemic, feel good Eurovision winning songs. But I can't see how they'd have the nerve to call No Fear a Eurovision classic.
