Unshamefully falling in love with it all over again. :wub: I don't understand what there is to be shamed about? :lol: The new version does have more oomph though. I bet it was probably what anmary was wearing in the performance (the whole holland thing) that got a little of people not taking the song seriously.

I must be remembering the wrong song. :puke2:

Why would it have to make up for Beautiful Song? Honestly I really really really really don't know why people hate that song so much. The chorus is insanely catchy and it's always popping into my head. :wub:

1. Sweden 2. Serbia 3. Norway 4. Ukraine 5. Slovenia 6. Turkey 7. Bosnia & Herzegovina 8. Bulgaria 9. Netherlands 10. Croatia 11. Estonia 12. Portugal 13. Lithuania 14. Malta 15. Macedonia 16. Slovakia 17. Georgia 18. Belarus I feel like people are probably being too shy/wary and not putting Sweden in 1st as a result in case they jinx it. Probably since I'm not looning about it as much it's easier for me to say it'll be on top. :P We also need to remember that the Jury votes can easily throw a spanner in the works for countries that would usually slip through in 8th-10th in previous years. They make things so much more unpredictable. To be honest I haven't a clue why I'm putting Serbia so high, I think it's mostly because I'm not sure what other country would get 2nd. It would probably be a little naive to put a Sweden/Norway top two. You could probably swap Croatia for Estonia or Portugal....it's an iffy area.

We match except for Portugal/Slovakia. :P I have a feeling Slovakia could have a really strong live performance.

The countries I want to qualify: Netherlands Sweden Croatia Norway Bulgaria Slovenia Bosnia & Herzegovina Ukraine Slovakia Serbia These are the only songs I'd be happy with, blah to the rest. Seriously.

I have a feeling that my relatively high ranking for the grannies (14th) will start to drop closer to Eurovision when the novelty wears off. I think it's a short lived song in terms of novelty. They need to have the contest tomorrow. :P

I really thought I had ranked Moldova, I must have copied an old ranking..... Amazing 1. Spain 2. France 3. Iceland Great 4. Italy 5. Latvia 6. Netherlands 7. Sweden 8. Croatia 9. Finland Good 10.

Montenegro I imagine the Montengro performance will be tv gold though. If my ears can survive it.

Austria Bulgaria has been growing on me out of the blue like something fierce recently. Sweden moves from 8 to 7 on account of me starting to fall out of love with Croatia. I feel like I'm missing a country.....

Maybe we should have a "Who would like to see qualify" thread too eventually? (or keep it in this thread, like who I think/who I want.)

Belarus Bosnia & Herzegovina Bulgaria Croatia Estonia Georgia Lithuania Macedonia Malta Netherlands Norway Portugal Serbia Slovakia Slovenia Sweden Turkey Ukraine My predictions for semi 2. I'm a little on the fence with Bulgaria, Croatia and Turkey....and somewhat Netherlands but I feel the other six have plain sailing ahead of them. It would be lovely to see Turkey fall flat on their face again though, replaced by Slovakia.

It must have been because you moved to a different vowel.

Don't see the appeal of this song, dull as dishwater.

The lyrics of aphrodisiac are so cliche I can literally finish the lyrics before she sings them.

Even though it's very catchy...I think my main issue is the majority of the time I don't know what she's saying. She mumbles through the song a bit.

Update, just a quick one I'll probably shift them around again tomorrow. Amazing 1. Spain 2. France 3. Croatia Great 4. Italy 5. Iceland 6. Latvia 7. Finland Good 8. Netherlands 9. Sweden 10.

Austria I need to sort out the average section, it's getting quite clogged.

The voting really did drag didn't it? It seemed like there was an endless supply of jury voters. (Seriously there must have been at least 30+) Not crazy about the song, it's very meh.

Watching the show now on webcast. It isn't really up to much, I'm waiting for a Senhora do mar (or a flor de lis) to pop up but nothing. :( So many blooming ballads....

They do get Georgia though.

Just threw up the Romania NF webcast, Anggun from France is singing away. :wub: I have the Serbia one up too but it's just some guy singing a bad song so I muted it.

What other national finals are supposed to be tonight? Portugal, Serbia and Romania?

Is Loreen going to perform again, I'd be up for it :P Edit: Oh no it's over. :( Montenegro will blow Georgia away on the night.

Even though Danny seems incredibly smug.....a part of me feels a bit bad for him. Forever the bridesmaid, never the bride.

Yay :D
