I still think they should chop the intro. The song wouldn't lose anything at all. Completely different to 'Qele, Qele'.

Well the first 30 seconds can easily be chopped off, so the other 30 shouldn't be too hard hopefully. I fully expect Armenia or Georgia to win this year!

Me too! I'm guessing if it gets sent they'll release an English version though? Shame if they do though, I love it in its current form.

This Sirusho song is amazing. That would surely do VERY well if sent.

Love that Sirusho song! From what we know so far, I'm thinking we could be heading back east again next year. Georgia and Armenia are the two I'm anticipating most so far. God know what Azerbaijan are going to pull out as well!

Merged. Omg... I think that's the first bit of moderating I've done since like 2008!

I love it! I think I prefer the Blitzkids song though. Either would be great!

Love Belarus...really hope they don't change it! Ukraine have a good song, and Switzerland's is ok. Albania and Lithuania are pretty forgettable, and Belgium's is seriously awful.

Love that song...I'm hoping for a massive stomper from Cascada though.

Such a good song...second favourite after Belarus for me so far!

Portugal's failure hasn't exactly started recently though has it? They've only sent one entry that I can genuinely say I liked, and that was their 2008 entry. Pretty sure that did ok as well didn't it? One of the most forgettable Eurovision countries unfortunately, and they won't be missed by many.

Internal selection then. They need this girl... qSEvunsdNW4

Armenia need to select this girl, and send something along the lines of this... qSEvunsdNW4

Is she actually? I really like this...well disappointed if it doesn't improve...

Unless there's something else amazing in there, they'll definitely choose Cascada... She's completely made for the Eurovision, and I'm sure they'll realise this!

I thought pretty much everyone knew of the Eurovision connection? And what countdowns has it been on and where? I'm glad they're not playing the official video to be honest...beyond poor!

I'm really liking this! A much better version of 'Love Unlimited'.

I want to say D24, but I'm not too sure as my friend has sorted it for us! Oh the atmosphere will be amazing. All the D seats are quite high up I think, but I don't mind that! Better than being behind the stage or standing I feel!

I'll be seeing you there Richard! Which block you sitting in?

We are! We booked hotels in Malmo, Gothenberg and Stockholm when we found out who the host city could be. Cancelled the other two when we found out it was Malmo, so got it pretty cheap! She got them off some website. It was mega expensive, but we've done some research to make sure it wasn't a scam, and spoken to many Swedes who have said they're legit. In fact I think my friend phoned them today too to make sure they were real, and they were! So they'll be arriving within five weeks!

So...me and my friend have f***ing got tickets for the final! HELLO MALMO!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought they'd have publicised it slightly more. There was literally one tweet on Twitter about it before today! How much we're the final tickets going for? Weren't the cheapest ones €10?!

Oh wow. Was it near impossible to get them this morning then? Well gutted I missed this. I asked the Eurovision Twitter account the other day when they were going on sale, and it Tweeted me back saying it'd be in a "few months" the little shit!!! I'm up for this going there to watch on a big screen if we don't get them during the next batch of tickets though!

I didn't even realise. EPIC FAIL. Also...perhaps someone can shed some light on the tickets that are on sale to the OGAE clubs atm. They're standing ones...are these going in general sale next Monday?

So did anyone even know that tickets were going on sale today? And that they sold out in 29 minutes? SO ANNOYED. Another batch will be available when the stage has been finalised...
