Final 1. Turkey (232) 2. Germany (230) 3. Spain (183) 4. United Kingdom (176) 5. France (174) 6. Georgia (151) 7. Netherlands (130) 8. Sweden (93) 9. Armenia (90) 10. Russia (89) 11. Israel (88) 12. Azerbaijan (83) 13. Bosnia Herzegovina (78) 14. FYR Macedonia (74) 15. Serbia (74) 16. Slovenia (72) 17. Switzerland (68) 18. Norway (64) 19. Moldova (63) 20. Italy (62) 21. Ukraine (55) 22. Denmark (53) 23. Poland (43) 24. Greece (36) 25. Ireland (33) While I wouldn't really like a Turkish win (nor really expect it), having 4 of the big 5 in the remainder of the top 5 would be something, if only to put to rest the criticism Eurovision gets for being 'anti-western'. Quite often when I've tried this, one of the contending countries has always been the last to vote; when Germany's voted for all of the top 5 bar Turkey with their 12 left, it's not hard to guess where it's going, and anti-climatic too. SF1 1. Georgia (136) 2. Azerbaijan (122) 3. Turkey (116) 4. Switzerland (107) 5. Russia (106) 6. Poland (89) 7. Greece (81) 8. Armenia (73) 9. Serbia (72) 10. Norway (60) 11. Albania (49) 12. Finland (46) 13. Hungary (40) 14. San Marino (29) 15. Iceland (24) 16. Lithuania (21) 17. Portugal (20) 18. Croatia (18) 19. Malta (9) None of that's a real surprise in terms of getting into the final (bar perhaps Hungary, though maybe not with her voice), but I can't see Georgia (or Turkey) doing that well really. SF2 1. Sweden (133) 2. FYR Macedonia (122) 3. Denmark (119) 4. Israel (96) 5. Slovenia (96) 6. Ireland (95) 7. Netherlands (90) 8. Ukraine (85) 9. Bosnia Herzegovina (78) 10. Moldova (76) 11. Romania (75) 12. Latvia (44) 13. Austria (40) 14. Slovakia (37) 15. Estonia (36) 16. Belarus (21) 17. Bulgaria (20) 18. Belgium (7) 19. Cyprus (6) Estonia and FYR Macedonia are the two shocks her imo, and I can't see either being that low or high respectively if they were to gett into the final or not (particularly in the latter's case).

Bulgaria, France and Greece have apparently revealed their votes; Bulgaria 12 - Sweden 10 - Austria 8 - Hungary 7 - Azerbaijan 6 - Estonia 5 - Bosnia & Herzegovina 4 - United Kingdom 3 - Serbia 2 - France 1 - Russia France 12 - Hungary 10 - Sweden 8 - Estonia 7 - Romania 6 - Norway 5 - Israel 4 - United Kingdom 3 - Azerbaijan 2 - Denmark 1 - Italy Greece 12 - France 10 - Sweden 8 - United Kingdom 7 - Estonia 6 - Hungary 5 - Bosnia Herzegovina 4 - Denmark 3 - Italy 2 - Cyprus 1 - Azerbaijan Which would put the overall standings as; 70 - Sweden 55 - Hungary 51 - France 50 - United Kingdom 36 - Estonia 35 - Bosnia & Herzegovina 16 - Azerbaijan 15 - Denmark 13 - Romania 12 - Russia 10 - Austria 07 - Norway 05 - Ireland 05 - Poland 05 - Israel 04 - Bulgaria 04 - Spain 04 - Italy 03 - Serbia 02 - Germany 02 - Greece 02 - Cyprus A bit shocked that Norway's got so little points so far, but seeing as I like pretty much all of the top 10, not too bad.

With current odds and diaspora; 1. Estonia (206) 2. Russia (177) 3. Azerbaijan (174) 4. United Kingdom (159) 5. Armenia (151) 6. Hungary (148) 7. Ireland (144) 8. France (142) 9. Denmark (123) 10. Germany (119) 11. Israel (119) 12. Sweden (118) 13. Italy (102) 14. Bosnia Herzegovina (79) 15. Turkey (74) 16. Romania (70) 17. Croatia (69) 18. Poland (59) 19. Norway (50) 20. Moldova (48) 21. Finland (45) 22. Switzerland (37) 23. Austria (33) 24. Latvia (29) 25. Spain (19) Estonia and Azerbaijan were top 2 from about a quarter of the way in, with Estonia only becoming a clear winner 3 votes from the end, and Russia becoming second on the very last vote.

Ok, here we go... 2. Viva Forever - Avg. 8.471 (11 - JakeWild, Lukuzz, Casey__, gooddelta, Dré, 2 - Severin) 3wkuqRFXNvI&NR Despite seemingly being the most popular of people posting what they wanted to win, Viva Forever just misses out at the final hurdle. It had 5 elevens, by far more than any other individual song (2), and just under half of all the elevens cast. Despite this though, it wasn't in the top 3 for practically all of the voting, only getting there after the final set of votes. While not my favourite of their songs, I'd have rather it have won than Say You'll Be There, but what can I say? Leaving... 1. Say You'll Be There - Avg. 8.647 (11 - West, 152.chris, 5 - Severin) 9ro0FW9Qt-4&ob Despite not having as many 11s as Viva Forever, this was by far the most consistent song; while all of the other songs (bar Headlines) changed places a few times, Say You'll Be There only changed once, from 2nd to 1st. It had the highest lowest score for any song, so it was in a sense the deserving winner. It is one of their better songs, and it's better than what could have won (Who Do You Think You Are was in the lead at the start). So, that's that! What do you think of the winner? Was Viva Forever robbed? I'll post the total scores later,so you can see how close some of the things were.

SECTION A 10 Adele – Make You Feel My Love 08 Enrique Iglesias ft. Nicole Scherzinger – Heartbeat 02 Labrinth – Let The Sun Shine 49 LZ7 – This Little Light 41 Kylie Minogue – Get Outta My Way 20 Mark Ronson & The Business Intl – The Bike Song 46 Oasis – Stop Crying Your Heart Out 57 Professor Green – Monster 50 Radiohead – Creep 53 Roberta Flack – The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face 55 Selena Gomez – Round & Round 62 Status Quo – In The Army Now (2010) 21 The Saturdays - Higher 19 The Wombats – Tokyo SECTION B Bonus #1: Will Tinie Tempah – Written In The Stars sell more than 100,000 copies this week? No Bonus #2: Will Eminem ft. Rihanna – Love The Way You Lie be higher than Eliza Doolittle – Pack up in the charts? Yes Bonus #3: Will Ne-Yo – Beautiful Monster be higher than DJ Fresh – Gold Dust in the charts? Yes

3. 2 Become 1 - Avg. 8.412 (11 - Dandy*, 2 - Severin) hz182bWa3r0&ob Bronze prize goes to 2 Become 1, in my opinion, probably the most sublime of their singles. I'm glad it's top 3 as it was one of my favourite singles by them, and still is re-listening to it. It was consistently in the top 3 throughout voting, as you could guess from the sharp rise in average, along with one of the two left to come. So, Say You'll Be There or Viva Forever?

4. Who Do You Think You Are - Avg. 7.882 (11 - Leonardo2505, Theo, 4 - C.R.) XAWQkY8Rlbg Not really a surprise out of what's left, Who Do You Think You Are comes in 4th, just missing out on the top 3.This is the only one I was talking about before that was left that I didn't like, so I'm glad that's missed out on the top 3, though still would have preferred some above it. So top 3 it is, I'm already starting to feel nostalgic about this rate!

5. Stop - Avg. 7.824 (11 - C.R., -1 - Dré) GpPyBXMxeb0 Starting off the top 5 is Stop, my personal favourite of all their songs, so I'm a little bit miffed that it's a bit low, seeing as it was a lot higher up until the final vote, but there's still 3 songs here I like.

Oops, forgot last night, lol. I'll do two tonight then, the other'll come in an hour or so. 6. Spice Up Your Life - Avg. 7.588 (more 9s) (11 - Chriss_S, 3 - Severin) fgDdeBrGrro&ob Narrowly missing out on the top 5, and as with Too Much, I'm upset it isn't top 5, but as I like 4 of the 5 in the top 5, it's not that bad. Which means that, in release date order, the top 5 is: Say You'll Be There 2 Become 1 Who Do You Think You Are Stop Viva Forever

Saturday Man C v Chelsea 17, 67 Arsenal v West Brom 22, 22 Birmingham v Wigan 57, 82 Blackpool v Blackburn 39, 64 Fulham v Everton 42, 42 Liverpool v Sunderland 68, 68 West Ham v Tottenham 34, 58 Sunday Bolton v Man Utd 19, 19 Wolves v Aston Villa 41, 73 Newcastle v Stoke 0, 90

7. Too Much - Avg. 7.588 (less 9s) (11 - AaronTM, 4 - Severin) JDiFLkJLzM8&ob Our first (and only) tie appears now, as we start the second half of the rate, and near the top 5. One of my favourites, I'm a bit upset that it didn't get higher, but as I like pretty much all of the other songs, it doesn't really matter.

Some of you'll be happy... 8. Wannabe - Avg. 7.412 (10 - Nick F1, Chriss_S, 152.chris, 1 - Severin) gJLIiF15wjQ&ob Ironically compared to overall theme before, it's the first Spice Girls single now. One of their more famous songs, I'm a bit surprised it's not higher, but it was always around this position in the voting, so...

Thanks! This is I think the first time I've gotten 1st place in anything regarding football! My dad would be proud.

9. Goodbye - Avg. 7.118 (10 - Lukuzz, Casey__, 1 - Severin) eO00WUeATFM A sharp rise in the average now, as we start to get into the 'better' rated singles. This is another song I regret giving a lowish score to, listening to it now, but I can see how people can dislike it. It continues, with the exception of Mama, the pattern of the latest singles doing worst. Will it continue with the next latest single, Viva Forever?

Well, as I mentioned before, here begins the top 10! 10. Mama - Avg. 5.176 (10 - Nick F1, gooddelta, -1 Severin) eS8LzPf4dLs&ob Mama narrowly gets into the top 10, when it looked like it would be there for the first half of the voting. Again, in my opinion, a pretty unremarkable song. I think, in hindsight, I was a bit harsh to give it a 0, but it did split opinion a bit, so I don't think it would have mattered really. Oh, and for a bit for fun/bragging rights, anyone want to try to predict the top 10/5/whatever? Nothing gained, just something to liven it up a bit.

11. Holler - Avg. 5.059 (10, Lukuzz, -1, gooddelta) rCm7p2uCZyg&ob Another song in the pattern I noted before, pretty much saying that (in the consensus of this board) the Spice Girls got worse as time went on. Not one of their better ones I'll admit too, but it did get a few high marks too so what do I know? This rounds off the bottom 3, and also sets us up for the top 10. Woot!

12. - Let Love Lead The Way - Avg. 4.529 (10 - Lukuzz, Dré, 0 - chart wizard, 152.chris) EB-pnck2LEs The last song the Spice Girls release comes last, and (part of) their second-last single is second-last. Is a pattern emerging? Pretty bland (imo) and not particularly memorable, I can't say that I argue with where it is.

Saturday Stoke v West Ham 58, 72 Aston Villa v Bolton 47, 47 Blackburn v Fulham 31, 83 Everton v Newcastle 26, 38 Tottenham v Wolves 29, 79 West Brom v Birmingham 41, 68 Sunderland v Arsenal 17, 17 Sunday Man U v Liverpool 27, 69 Wigan v Man City 19, 19 Chelsea v Blackpool 12, 12

13. - Headlines (Friendship Never Ends) - Avg. 3.412 (9 - AaronTM, -1 - Leonardo2505, Dandy*, C.R., West, 152.chris) WcAlA4iY_kY&ob An unsurprising start to the results, it was the only song to get nothing in double figures, and had by far the most amount of -1s. Considered one of their worst singles and far behind twelfth place, it is rather deserving of it's place.

Oh dear! I'll start this tonight
