Melodi Grand Prix 2011
Well this has completely grown on me! Absolutely loving it now I have the studio version of it, can definitely see this doing well.

United Kingdom 2011
Yeah promo tours don't make much difference let's be honest. By the time the Eurovision arrives in May, a vast majority of people aren't going to remember a song that was sung at their national final two or three months previous.

Finland 2011
Best song so far I reckon, and better than Tom Dice's entry last year! Could easily go top ten for the Finnish.

Odds Thread [2011]
I've made a new thread for this seeing as the other odds thread was just two pages of waffle. So, without further ado, here are the first odds from PaddyPower! :w00t: Germany 4/1 Norway 4/1 Ireland 16/1 United Kingdom 16/1 Could Germany do the double? I've not listened to any of Lena's songs, but I've high hopes for it.

'Born This Way' • 1st Single Thread
f***ing amazing. Been listening on repeat all day and can't wait to shake my ass to it tonight! :w00t:

Melodifestivalen 2011
Once Loreen has been clubbed up a bit in the chorus, that'll be amazing on a Friday/Saturday night thank you. :heart: Anniela will presumably be translated to English if she wins...this also sounds amazing! Sanna Nielsen's song is a bit mehhh to me though, and destined for failure if it wins. :(

Ireland 2011
Odds anyway... Jedward 8/15 Nikki Kavanagh 3/1 Bling 9/2 Vard Sisters 6/1 Don Mescall 8/1

Ireland 2011
Nikki's song is amazing! I'll not bother listening to the rest, but this song is really good! With a decent draw in the final, and a dramatic performance with lots of wind, this could do pretty well.

The Wanted - 2nd Album// Singles
I think it's pretty dire tbh. :(
-
Greece 2011
We're due a good year after last year's below par contest!
-
Greece 2011
Nikki Ponte definitely has the best song there. That has the potential to be a bit of a My Number One/Secret Combination tbh!
-
Helena Paparizou - Baby It's Over
Fml this is seriously amazing. Definitely up there with her 'Game of Love' album, which I think I credited as being my favourite album of all time two or three years back! I must resurrect that thread actually...

United Kingdom 2011
I am insanely excited for the Eurovision this year... :w00t:
-
Ireland 2011
It won't let me listen to it for some reason. But based on the instrumental, I've heard worse.

BJSC XXXI | Final Voting
I was half considering entering this the other day, and was going to send 'Crave You' as well. :o Craziness, so I hope Espen win this! Good song.
-
Bruno Mars - Grenade
It could be this actually Tyron... Definitely some similarities there. Don't think it's Northern Girl though.
-
Netherlands 2011
Another pointless entry from the Netherlands then...
-
United Kingdom 2011
I'm not too disappointed by this at all! Think we might actually be onto a successful(ish) finish here you know! For some reason I have high hopes for the song, and can definitely see the whole of the UK getting behind them in Germany.
-
United Kingdom 2011
That Alcazar and Same Difference song is rather amazing! I'm very excited to see who we end up putting forward anyway!

Radio 1 Playlist (19/01/11) + Retro 2002
Good for Two Door Cinema Club! :D

Romania 2011
Ok...slight change of opinion. I quite like this now! :D
-
Ireland 2011
Looking forward to this, though it's inevitable that the horrendous Jedward will go through, and present Ireland with a Dustin the Turkey-style finish, despite receiving 12 points from the United Kingdom if we're voting in the Irish semi final. I just hope a song as good as Leona Daly's 2008 entry isn't robbed because of this!

Your rankings of 2011 songs
Ok, so I've got the songs on my iPod now, so can start listening to them properly now. Here's what I think so far, and I've also included some odds on how I think they'll do, even though only three songs have been selected. Switzerland - Instantly forgettable, and definitely heading for a single figured number of points irrespective of what semi final it gets put in. Odds on winning: 500/1. Odds on qualification: 33/1. Romania - Definitely growing on me, and if it gets a decent position in its semi final, I can see this standing out quite well. Romania have a decent diaspora, and rarely - if ever - fail to qualify, so I definitely don't see this missing out. It won't win, but will probably secure a top 15 position. Winning: 33/1. Qualification: 1/3. Albania - I'm guessing this song will undergo a transformation, and the final version will be in English, but I'm liking this in its current form myself. Albania usually come up with a reasonable song, but this will obviously go the same way as their 2009 and 2010 songs have done. With a good re-arrangement and performance, this might push slightly higher though. Winning: 40/1. Qualification: 7/4. So, in short, we haven't got a winner yet. :D

Bruno Mars - Grenade
Ok, I can't quite figure out what song it is is, but I'm sure it's a Eurovision song... It's the "yeah, yeah, yeah" part in the chorus. SR6iYWJxHqs&ob Has anyone got any idea?
