Eugh and then Louise Mensch on This Week after. I'm no Tory fan but they really can find better people to represent themselves than that awful pair!

I am literally in meltdown mode this is way too exciting!

I didn't even notice that :lol: really could see Azerbaijan winning but no way are Italy coming top 3

Me and my friend devised a sure-fire system to predict the top 10 :lol:, we combined a ranking of the odds (from oddschecker), total views from the ESC channel and number of likes/number of views to try and work out the most popular songs. It's quite a problematic system especially since Sweden removed their video and put a new one up so they're miles behind on views. And obviously it can't account for people liking/viewing from their home country but anyway it threw up these results: Semi 1 1. Armenia 2. Russia *most viewed* 3. Albania 4. Georgia *highest likes on youtube as percentage of views* 5. Estonia *highest in odds* 6. Belgium 7. Belarus 8. Macedonia 9. Greece 10. Romania -- 11. Finland *lowest likes on youtube as a percentage of views* 12. Serbia 13. Hungary 14. Netherlands 15. Denmark *fewest views* 16. Moldova *worst odds* Semi 2 1. Azerbaijan *most views* 2. Slovenia 3. Israel 4. Norway 5. Sweden *best odds* *highest likes as a percentage of views* *fewest views* 6. Iceland 7. Latvia 8. Malta 9. Cyprus 10. Ireland -- 11. Montenegro 12. Poland 13. Lithuania 14. Switzerland 15. Czech Republic 16. San Marino *lowest likes as a percentage of views* 17. Portugal *worst odds* Then for the final inc AQ's: 1. Azerbaijan 2. Italy 3. Russia 4. Armenia 5. Albania 6. Sweden 7. Georgia 8. Slovenia 9. Australia 10. Spain 11. Estonia 12. UK 13. Norway 14. Belgium 15. Israel 16. Iceland 17. Macedonia 18. Latvia 19. Belarus 20. Romania 21. Greece 22. Malta 23. Cyprus 24. Ireland 25. Austria 26. France 27. Germany (I really should be writing my dissertation help haha) Will probably have another go in a few weeks when/if Sweden have caught up on views to see how much of a difference it makes! If their video now had the mean views of the other 26 they'd actually be second behind Azerbaijan on my points system.

So excited!!!!!!!! She looks gorg in the pic she's tweeted as well!!

Green 62.5% Labour 25% Lib Dem 12.5% Ooh I keep convincing myself I should vote for Labour but I'm just really not on board with them anymore :/.

Israel led all the way but was pipped by one point by Albania on the final vote. 1. 200 Albania 2. 199 Israel 3. 193 Estonia 4. 185 Armenia 5. 167 Finland 6. 164 Azerbaijan (would LOVE 2-4 to finish top 5 tho, iconique) Spain got 0 from the juries haha

Surely free movement, the right to healthcare across the continent, the ability to withdraw a state UK pension whilst living anywhere in the EU, the ability to study anywhere in the EU without a specific visa and a collective body which is working towards improving environmental standards and living standards (as well as the obvious economic benefits) is more than enough reason and losing all of this would probably sway a lot of labour voters into thinking the EU is a good thing.

^_^ This wins the thread haha

Did one with my own defined odds and it was Estonia winning from Sweden with Azerbaijan and Slovenia both in the top 5. Definitely something I'd expect more :lol: MaSlaydonia still finished top 10 tho!

Portugal just smashed the televote for me haha btw Iz absolutely love your 'sounding good sugar' profile shoutout :lol:

Just did it again, even weirder: 1. 204 France 2. 175 Hungary 3. 162 Macedonia (powerhouse :lol:) 4. 155 Russia 5. 152 Serbia ?! 15. 66 San Marino 16. 65 UK 17. 62 Azerbaijan?! 26. 10 Sweden?! 27. 00 Australia (again - think there's a problem with the program)

haha is this a sign we should make a trip to the bookies?!

haha weird one on mine, Armenia #1 on televoting but #22 on jury. Australia finished on 0 points, Azerbaijan missed the top 20. Estonia won by 11 points from Macedonia with Belarus in third?! UK smashed 3 points :lol: Finland came #4 on jury but #21 on televote?!

She does look gorgeous here, but a new music video would be much preferred :P!

Got 43 :lol: at Claudia Winkleman impersonator?!

Ooh no I love Miss Fame, it's so nice to see a super fishy queen with some real humility - and giving Violet a chance, would love to see Fame go a long way!

Wow just had my first listen through and Sufjan certainly hasn't lost it, much more instantly amazing than Age Of Adz (which I grew to love but took a good few months).

05/08/06 Paris Hilton Stars Are Blind 5 35-{5}-6-16-19-25-39-59->8 So much yes for this, hope they play one of the insane remixes from the EP

Hope everyone had a good time, very jealous to have missed it - just watched Electro Velvet's performance and it was actually sooo good! Well done to them :)!

I feel like she's really not using Maddie's best talents in this one - kinda like that awful Ellen performance of Elastic Heart.

Knew something like this would surface today :lol:
