How many times can you change your entry?

Dalisska has confirmed our entry...I might end up changing it though. We'll see....I feel like I can get behind this song but I'm not sure if buzzjack will appreciate it. The song has been playing over and over in my head the last week or so.

On one hand I have something that seems very buzzjack friendly (maybe a bit too friendly....) and on the other hand I have something that will probably be very marmite. I'm starting to doubt both options now though. Like a lot of people, nothing is really jumping out at me.

Lucky I posted this here: BsxLc1bd8ks Otherwise you would have had the excuse of being lazy and not looking for it. :D They should have called the video "Johnny Logan sings Get Lucky". They missed a trick there.

Dalisska will be returning to the contest for BJSCLV too. (It's been 7 months, it felt longer though actually...)

I feel like I ought to actually go to Eurovision one of these years. Although it would be a far easier decision if the contest was being hosted in Ireland or the UK. How much do the tickets cost for Eurovision? Do they sell out insanely fast? (Are the tickets for next year already sold out? :P)

Has Egypt actually ever shown any interest in taking part?

Was Carola falling over part of the interval act last night? I haven't seen anyone mention it and I'm honestly not sure what to make of it.....

It was a good episode but to be honest I'm a little unimpressed with the whole name of the doctor thing. It all seems a lot more like arty sentimental hooha than an interesting storyline. I don't really care what the doctor's name is.....I'm not sure I ever really cared actually. People are more than just their names. The monsters were a bit odd too, no explanation or anything. Just thrown in there to fill the scary monster quota. 1. The Angels Take Manhattan 2. Hide 3. The Snowmen 4. The Crimson Horror 5. Asylum Of The Daleks 6, A Town Called Mercy 7. The Name of The Doctor 8. Nightmare In Silver 9. The Rings Of Akhaten 10. Cold War 11. The Bells Of Saint John 12. Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS 13. The Power Of Three 14. Dinosaurs On A Spaceship

I'm quite ashamed that Ireland didn't give any points to Norway. I voted for it and my mum voted for it too. It was one of the songs we really agreed on. Yeah I've noticed this pattern, it's countries like Azerbaijan, Russia and Ukraine that are almost always at the top and then each year you just swap in one of the fail countries in the top spot. Maybe it will be Ireland's turn some day. It seems like each year only one or two countries can defeat the bloc voting. Every other country has to live with it. :lol:

To be honest I think we should just throw it all out there and go heavy metal for next year. :lol: Seriously though I do think we should try to broaden our horizons genre wise. Some kind of electropop or even some kind of song like Malta's Tomorrow would be interesting. We should probably send a female soloist next year.

We didn't deserve the last place. I did really think we would have gotten a 16th-22nd out of it at least. I suppose in hindsight Europe probably didn't appreciate a song in which the word love is repeated constantly throughout the whole song.... For next year I would like if we sent something mid-tempo.....not uptempo like Jedward/Ryan but not a slow bland love ballad either. We should probably try to be a bit more creative too. (Classy creativity, not "let's go crazy and send a turkey" creativity :lol:) I think that's what is really lacking with us, it's creativity.

Voted for The Netherlands, Norway and Spain. My mum voted for Iceland and Norway.

You know as much as I hate to admit it, there really were numerous occasions were I was saying Ukraine and Azerbaijan before they announced them as the 12 points. The majority of the Eastern bloc are painfully predictable with their 12's.

I did too actually. If only because Azerbaijan are not very good at hosting. At least Russia put on a good show.

I don't think we deserved that last place. :( RTE News just had a piece on the result, they played snippets of a couple of the songs. Called Armenia "no hopers" and said that Romania "sucked the life blood out of the audience". :lol: Glad that Denmark won over Azerbaijan. Can't believe Azerbaijan got 2nd place...such a bland song. I don't think much would be worse than another Azerbaijani hosting, such wooden hosts.

Main reason I don't like it is that it doesn't sound like anything except high pitched warbling noise. It sounds more like he's sending signals to the mothership than speaking any human language. Personally I think Azerbaijan is going to flop. I'd love to say the same will happen for Georgia...but I think they'll do pretty well (at least top ten, if not top five)

I'm wondering if Italy might be a bit of an underdog in this. I mean the juries will probably adore him and he has something like over 100 million views on his entry on youtube. I get the feeling the new voting system could at the very least make things a lot tighter than usual. Might even cause an upset...although it might not be that big a change.

I don't think my heart will be able to take the possibility of Georgia winning. It better stay away from the top five. :(

I voted just now. I had to cut out three songs that I quite liked...and there was a bit of shuffling around after seeing their live performances.

My ranking for the final: Brilliant 1. The Netherlands: Anouk - Birds 2. Norway: Margaret Berger - I Feed You My Love 3. Spain: ESDM - El Sueño De Morfeo - Contigo Hasta el Final Great 4. Greece: Alchohol Is Free - Koza Mostra feat. Agathonas 5. Iceland: Eyþór Ingi Gunnlaugsson - Eg a Lif 6. Ireland: Ryan Dolan - Only Love Survives 7. Ukraine: Zlata Ognevich - Gravity Good 8. Hungary: ByeAlex - Kedvesem 9. Belarus: Alyona Lanskaya - Solayoh 10. Denmark: Emmelie de Forest - Only Teardrops 11. Sweden: Robin Stjernberg - You 12. United Kingdom: Bonnie Tyler - Believe in Me Average 13. Moldova: Aliona Moon - O Mie 14. Malta: Gianluca Bezzina - Tomorrow 15. Italy: Marco Mengoni - L'essenziale 16. Belgium: Roberto Bellarose - Love Kills 17. Finland: Krista Siegfrids - Marry Me 18. Estonia: Birgit Õigemeel - Et uus saaks alguse 19. Germany: Cascada - Glorious 20. France: Amandine Bourgeois - L'enfer et moi 21. Russia: Dina Garipova - What If Poor 22. Lithuania: Andrius Pojavis - Something 23. Azerbaijan: Farid Mammadov - Hold Me 24. Armenia: Gor Sujyan - Lonely Planet Awful 25. Romania: Cezar - It's My Life 26. Georgia: Nodi Tatishvili & Sophie Gelovani - Waterfall There's a bit more "blah" in the final than I would have liked...but at least there's only five completely rubbish performances. I had Malta under awful for quite a while but I suppose I warmed to it a tiny bit last night.

On the up side, the decision on who to vote for on Saturday became substantially easier. Netherlands, Norway and Spain all the way! (and Ireland of course :P) I'm glad Netherlands wasn't in Semi Two, she probably would have been slaughtered.....

Israel was robbed. I feel sick thinking about it. No San Marino or Bulgaria either.....really thought Bulgaria had a great chance after that performance. I suppose I was never going to escape the semis without having a facepalm moment.

That's what I want but I predict the actual results will be: 01 Latvia: PeR - Here We Go 02 San Marino: Valentina Monetta - Crisalide (Volá) 03 Macedonia: Esma & Lozano - Pred da se razdeni 04 Azerbaijan: Farid Mammadov - Hold Me 05 Finland: Krista Siegfrids - Marry Me 06 Malta: Gianluca - Tomorrow 07 Bulgaria: Elitsa and Stoyan - Samo shampioni 08 Iceland: Eyþór Ingi - Ég á lif 09 Greece: Koza Mostra & Agathon Iakovidis - Alcohol Is Free 10 Israel: Moran Mazor - Rak bishvilo 11 Armenia: Dorians - Lonely Planet 12 Hungary: ByeAlex - Kedvesem (Zoohacker Remix) 13 Norway: Margaret Berger - I Feed You My Love 14 Albania: Adrian & Bledar - Identitet 15 Georgia: Nodi & Sophie - Waterfall 16 Switzerland: Takasa - You and Me 17 Romania: Cezar - It's My Life I think Bulgaria and Hungary are borderline and have a chance of making it too.

Have you guys seen the last episode of Kitchen Nightmare in America? I don't think I've ever seen somebody so crazy and unbalanced as Amy. It's complete insanity you couldn't make this stuff up. I only watched the first 10 minutes so far and I already can't believe it.
