France is good, but I can't really see it winning after having a good long think. I'm thinking another Patricia Kaas-esque result for the French, and their third decent result in a row.

WE CAN. We can f***ing win with this!!! Best chance since Jessica Garlick easily! Russia are my only concern now tbh, but that didn't sound amazing from that low quality clip we have. No doubt that'll all change when the studio version is released though.

I have this feeling in the back of my mind too, but still excited nonetheless! I'll be pretty pissed when I hear it anyway, so will probably quite like it regardless.

Massive update from PaddyPower, now that they have all countries listed... Norway 7/2 France 4/1 Germany 5/1 Estonia 6/1 Russia 6/1 United Kingdom 11/1 Azerbaijan 12/1 Ireland 12/1 Sweden 12/1 Bosnia-Herzegovina 12/1 Denmark 12/1 Greece 20/1 Finland 20/1 Romania 20/1 Poland 20/1 Hungary 20/1 Turkey 20/1 Austria 25/1 Israel 25/1 Armenia 25/1 Switzerland 25/1 Slovakia 33/1 Slovenia 33/1 Ukraine 33/1 Georgia 40/1 Serbia 50/1 Croatia 50/1 Belgium 50/1 Moldova 50/1 Cyprus 50/1 Spain 66/1 Iceland 66/1 Latvia 66/1 Malta 66/1 Albania 66/1 Netherlands 66/1 Italy 80/1 Portugal 80/1 Bulgaria 100/1 San Marino 100/1 Lithuania 100/1 FYR Macedonia 100/1 Belarus 100/1 Might I also add, that I had my first ESC dream of the year last night, and it was Austria who won!

Me too...they're the new favourites with this!

Aww I quite liked Break a Leg, but I suppose no one outside of the UK would really understand that it's actually a phrase used to wish good luck. I can imagine this is going to be an absolute BELTER though!

Ooh great song! Hope it does well and manages to qualify, though I'm not 100%.

I think this will actually do really well! Definitely going to score highly with the juries, based on their recent voting patterns. Well, Jade Ewen and Patricia Kaas scored well from them anyway, and this is certainly very 'classy' too.

Can't stop listening. New favourite by FAR.

Well this is very mehhh. Worst Armenian entry to date I think. :( Although that Anytime You Leave song was pretty lame too. Actually think they might miss the top ten with this too...

Amazing song! Utterly AMAZING! It starts very much like Kate Ryan's 'Who Do You Love' as well. We needed a good Euro anthem like this! Definitely one of my favourites now, and I hope she sings it in English during the final, which I should imagine she will.

God I know. He's ORGASMIC!!!

This will be amazing, and we're going back to Russia in 2012 clearly!

After hearing this in high quality for the first time, I can officially say it's even more amazing and anthemic than before. One of the best songs I've heard in f***ing ages!!!

Massive high hopes for this. Could be Slovakia's best result ever. Only good result ever in fact.

Lost and Forgotten was hideous, but if you look at its points breakdown, you can see how it got where it did... Azerbaijan 3 Moldova 10 Belarus 12 Ukraine 10 Armenia 10 Israel 10 Estonia 10 Latvia 8 Lithuania 5 It also got points from Turkey and Slovakia, but that only equalled ten points. The thing with Russia is that they're virtually guaranteed 80 points every year regardless of what they sent, and even with jury votes included. If it was merely televotes, they'd be getting ten or 12 from all of the above countries, so another 20 or so would be added on. Indeed, when I made my full prediction for last year's contest, it looked like this: 01. Armenia 219 02. Germany 211 03. Greece 200 04. Turkey 167 05. Romania 150 06. Azerbaijan 142 07. Denmark 136 08. Israel 127 09. Belgium 101 10. Ireland 98 11. Russia 97 12. Serbia 86 13. Norway 80 14. Ukraine 76 15. Georgia 59 16. Iceland 58 17. Bosnia-Herzegovina 46 18. Albania 43 19. Moldova 37 20. Cyprus 35 21. Spain 24 22. Belarus 22 23. United Kingdom 19 24. Portugal 16 25. France 13 I wasn't too far out with Russia! We won't comment on much of the rest though. :lol:

I have MASSIVELY high hopes for the United Kingdom, Russia, Azerbaijan and Sweden now.

Greece are up there on history alone. There is no way they'll be troubling the top ten this year! Well...the quality all round isn't exactly amazing this year, so they actually could. I'm hoping for something good from Azerbaijan. Hope they don't win though, they're clearly going to do a Russia and keep sending immense songs until they do...

What on EARTH is this?! Nikki Ponte was amazing! The UK surely can't give this 12 points again? Obviously it'll get a high televote, but I'd be surprised if our jury give this anything. Opa was actually pretty good, and definitely memorable.

Ok, so all of a sudden my three firm favourites are - in order - Austria, Estonia and Denmark. Never thought an Austrian entry would become one of my favourites at all, but it's utterly fantastic and could easily come top five or win for them if the draw is right. Estonia is a great song, but I fear it could be the fan favourite that fails to qualify. After that it's Norway and Finland atm I think.

Does anyone REALLY see her getting a number one? Especially with this latest leak? :/ She's more Nadine Coyle than Cheryl Cole let's be honest...

Well it's certainly very Italian sounding...I think? It's a decent song, and I can see it doing very well with the juries. Not sure it's going to be fighting for a top ten position, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it finish 11-15th.

I LOVED that song!!! Better than their 2010 offering, that's for sure.

Some odds from PaddyPower... Germany 4/1 Norway 4/1 Azerbaijan 9/1 Turkey 12/1 Finland 16/1 United Kingdom 16/1 Ireland 16/1 Albania 16/1 Romania 16/1 Poland 20/1 Netherlands 25/1 Switzerland 25/1 Cyprus 33/1 Malta 33/1 Belgium 33/1 San Marino 66/1

All songs have leaked in full...really like Nikki Ponte! http://esctoday.com/news/read/16782
