Or indeed, my 10 and 8 :kink:

Things've started to settle down with the odds again, with Azerbaijan slightly shorter than last night on 3.25 and Germany slightly longer on 4.7. Armenia are about the same as they were on 7.7.

 

I still have a feeling Azerbaijan will win (wishful thinking?).

Wasn't sure where to post these...but I had a little Eurovision party last night! :lol:

This costume made my life :lol:

 

Can I ask who 1, 4 and 5 are :P?

I think this is shaping up to be a disaster (relative) for Azerbaijan :o First to perform, a bit of negative press and a potentially below par performance. I think I can kiss goodbye to my £20 :P

SURPRISE SURPRISE Jerick likes something Norwegian more than something else that was quite obviously better :kink:

 

I'd say, Norway's hosts > Russia's

 

Russia's stage >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Norway's

 

Although then again, I prefered Serbia's stage to both of them.

Eva won't win. It's far, FAR too ESC by numbers - it'll probably do a Dum Tek Tek.

 

Currently I reckon the safest bets for victory are Romania and Germany. I can very easily see a shock winner this year though - Belgium?

 

Romania pulled out a great performance tonight, I wouldn't rule it out.

 

If Safura does as well as her second rehearsal - she should be fine.

 

I'd like to see Germany win, but I bet £20 with my friend that Azerbaijan would win :drama: Don't screw me over, Safura ¬¬

 

 

There's no way Azerbaijan can win if she performs like she did tonight. But then...I was certain Croatia and Sweden would go through so I'm doubting everything I say right now!

 

Her second rehearsal was vocally very strong, I was really surprised at how weak she was tonight - if she does that again, I can see her finishing third behind Eva and Lena.

^ (Rich) Which perhaps doesn't bode well for Lena either :o

 

And OMG, today in my German lesson - the German assisstant said she was going to put on 'the biggest song in Germany' for our last lesson and it was only bloody Satellite :P I had a great time singing along, to the bemusment of my classmates at how I knew the words :lol:

Croatia out :o? I can't believe it!

 

Lako is a great song and it was performed really well.

 

Safura messed up a bit tonight and I have to give the semi win to Eva Rivas :wub:

 

Poor Sweden :(

 

And wtah at Cyprus :lol:?

Je voudrais...

 

02. Armenia // Eva Rivas "Apricot Stone"

04. Denmark // Chanée and N'evergreen "In a Moment Like This"

06. Sweden // Anna Bergendahl "This Is My Life"

07. Azerbaijan // Safura "Drip Drop"

10. Romania // Paula Seling and Ovi "Playing with Fire"

12. Ireland // Niamh Kavanagh "It's for You"

15. Croatia // Feminnem "Lako je sve"

16. Georgia // Sopho Nizharadze "Shine"

 

8, more than the first semi final :P

 

 

Last year in the semis is was totally televote with a jury wildcard, this time it's 50/50 jury/televote :P like last year's final.

However, at least Belarus provided us with some comedy - the moment when the wings suddenly pop up :heehee:

 

I lol'd SO much when that happened :lol:.

 

I was expecting Finland and Slovakia through over Russia (wishful thinking) and Greece, a real shame for Finland - it's a really great track imo :(.

I'm gutted that Finland aren't through :nocheer: And Russia :manson:? It's EVEN WORSE than Mamo tbh.

4. Slovakia: Horehronie - Kristina Pelakova

5. Finland: Työlki ellää - Kuunkuiskaajat

10. Belgium: Me and my guitar - Tom Dice

12. Albania: It's all about you - Juliana Pasha

17. Iceland: Je ne sais quoi - Hera Björk

 

These are the only songs I really like in the first semi :nocheer:

:kink: Lets see how quickly it becomes available after she wins :lol:

 

Finishes second after losing by one point to Safura :kink:

 

Let's see indeed ;D

I'll attribute the idea to you ;)

Where did everyone get the cool flags in their signature from :kink:?
