>>> up to 424 :) Hopefully itv will up the advert rotation and she will come do promo ;p Her record company needs to be bombarded with requests haha Wonder how high this will get because it's not exactly steaming up the charts yet :P

Boo no points for molly

Ah but now it's falling =[ She needs to come and do a little bit of promo!

Up to 1059 ;p here's to hoping it starts to gain momentum soon!

It's more dumb than anything else to state them openly when partaking in a contest that lots of liberal countries will be voting in who will see his views as backwards.

Apparently Aram has been making some homophobic and transphobic comments that can be read here: Click me Even though he is stating that he was joking, some of the comments are quite insulting! Especially stating the word 'regressed' in regards to society approving of gay people... Yet he wants to take part in the campest contest in the world....

Well as far as I remember it isn't broadcast live in Australia ? They have it over 3 day period and they do their own vote after the live contest and compare their result to actually won. So if the 2 semis are shown on fri/sat in Australia and they vote - the highest votes are tallied for 12-1 to be used as Australia's votes in the final which is shown in Europe on Saturday and then broadcast in Australia on Sunday. It's just an idea :P Re your comment about the Mediterranean countries being allowed to take part because they are part of the broadcasting area... Yep I get that and understand that's why they're allowed to participate but it is just as stupid as letting Australia take part in a show called eurovision... At least Australia is culturally and mostly ethnically of European decent rather than just being close to Europe and being able to pick up a signal....

I guess but Australians do have a lot of European heritage/ancestry and are more culturally similar than say Morocco who have taken part or the other North African places allowed to participate.

Maybe country was a bad choice of word to use ;p Yep I agree that because they aren't in the broadcasting area is the reason why they can't take part and also something to do with not being in the council of Europe if I remember rightly? But what I was implying was that it'd be good if the ebu could bend the rules to allow countries to not have to be within this area/group or full member if they are willing to pay a big one off fee each year to take part. Not that it'll ever be allowed but just an idea around it. I'm sure they could work out a way around the time zone - maybe only jury votes being counted for Australia or those cast from the the public at the semi-finals.

I wonder if some sneaky work to try and make the favourite not qualify is going on here! I hope that Armenia doesn't get to the final - that'd be great. Re Australia - the ebu needs to find a way to bend the rules to let them take part. Maybe if a country pays a HUGE amount of money they don't have to be a member and can just take part?

I'm surprised considering the advert has been on quite a few times - it's a shame the advert doesn't show the name of the song as most people won't have a clue who it is. Have you any idea around how many copies has to be sold to get to 1500? Hopefully she will try and release properly over here and some digital media will pop up on iTunes. Does she also need to be signed to a uk label to get promotion over here or can her German branch push promo here? Not sure how it works!

Has it had any impact on iTunes yet? I'm not sure where to look for an iTunes list that goes in to the hundreds

Currently my favourite entry of this year

i love her! hope it is true. I really want australia to join eurovision. I wish they would just change the rules so they could join.

Very excited about this as I love Lena! Plus a success for a eurovision star in the UK would be amazing and help bring more credibility to the contest in the uks publics eyes!

Ah sorry ! I didn't see! Delete my post ;p

Lena's song - 'stardust' is currently being used as the song for the new itv advert - which is huge! Might start to chart here! I wonder if she is planning to release the song here so long after its initial German release! wIUXvxoqpDg

So is mKs over now? It's looking that way...

Apparently Denmark has already been drawn for the final and will be 23rd? That's probably going to be the latest one of the automatically qualified countries will get to perform in? I hope they don't stick molly at the start or in 16th!

Yep totally! Fan wise I think it'll be sweden / UK / Israel or maybe Armenia if it's not just Armenians spamming the internet ;p

How long do you all think it will be until we get the final studio version? It's likely not much will change from what's already out there but I'm eager to hear! I wonder if we will get a music video this year or if the bbc are going you just have the live performance video that is already out?

Will be interesting to see who wins this. Most online polls just seem to be hijacked by people from certain countries mass voting for themselves so you can never be sure what's reliable. I'm curious to see if this love for Armenia is real or not - if it does win the contest off a minute of dubstep I shan't be happy haha the link above seems to be a molly landslide - but I wonder if it's just uk people mass voting and pretending to be in different countries haha

Amazing 1) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Italy.png Italy: Emma Marrone - La Mia Città I just love this song – I wish I could hear it in English so that I could sing along! 2) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/United_Kingdom.png United Kingdom: Molly Smitten-Downes - Children Of The Universe If Molly comes out with a great studio version / her mic is turned up on the night and the backing singers down with a little rearrangement it’d be my fav & obviously I want her to win regardless. 3) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/France.png France: Twin Twin – Moustache I hated this song and now I’m TOTALLY hooked on it! Biggest grower for me! Its try hard cool though. 4) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Ireland.png Ireland: Can-linn feat. Kesey Smith - Heartbeat I think this song is majorly underrated. It’s very 90s eurovision. 5) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Sweden.png Sweden: Sanna Nielsen – Undo It’s a little bit dated but I do love it and want it to do well. If Ace had been then entry we’d be going back to Sweden next year. ^Any of the above I’d be happy to win^ Great 6) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Estonia.png Estonia: Tanja - Amazing Would love the Loreen choreography to be removed & if a singer with less of an accent sang this I think it’d be an AMAZING europop song. 7) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Romania.png Romania: Paula Seiling & Ovi – Miracle Great pop song but some of the lyrics where OVI responds to Paula are a bit ridiculous. 8) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Israel.png Israel: Mei Feingold - Same Heart Starting to really grow on me – love the Hebrew part much more than the English. 9) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Spain.png Spain: Ruth Lorenzo - Dancing in the Rain I love Ruth, I wish she sang all this in Spanish. I like the verses but I think the chorus is crap. 10) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Poland.png Poland: Donatan & Cleo - My Słowianie It’s a good pop song but the music video just makes me think ‘CHAVS’ so I knocked it down a few spots. 11) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Greece.png Greece: Freaky Fortune feat. Riskykidd - Rise Up Will surely be a flower amongst a bed of ballad thorns on the night and do well. 12) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/FYR_Macedonia.png F.Y.R. Macedonia: Tijana Dapčević - To The Sky I’m starting to like the song but I don’t like the singer’s accent/ noises she makes or performance. 13) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Azerbaijan.png Azerbaijan: Dilara Kazimova - Start A Fire She’s a great singer, it’s a good ballad and she’s pretty. I just don’t want Azerbaijan to win. 14) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Austria.png Austria: Conchita Wurst - Rise Like A Phoenix Amazing voice and really good ballad – could grow more on me. I’d prefer no beard though haha 15) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/San_Marino.png San Marino: Valentina Monetta - Maybe (Forse) I like this but her biggest mistake is not singing it in Italian as that is much superior. 16) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Norway.png Norway: Carl Espen - Silent Storm Kudos for the artistic integrity of this entry but I still find it so god damn boring. Good 17) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Hungary.png Hungary: Kállay-Saunders – Running I get why people like it but I also find it very ‘meh’ 18) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Ukraine.png Ukraine: Maria Yaremchuk - Tick-Tock Liking the new mix but the lyrics are quite bad. 19) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Armenia.png Armenia: Aram Mp3 - Not Alone Hate the first half of the song/ doesn’t deserve to win. 20) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Slovenia.png Slovenia: Tinkara Kovač - Spet (Round And Round) Really like the chorus of this song. 21) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Portugal.png Portugal: Suzy - Quero Ser Tua This is actually very catchy. Surprised if it gets votes though. 22) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Denmark.png Denmark: Basim - Cliché Love Song It’s just too Bruno Mars to take seriously. 23) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Germany.png Germany: Elaiza - Is It Right Studio version is really good! – like the verses but not the chorus as it’s a little repetitive. 24) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Switzerland.png Switzerland: SeBALter - Hunter of Stars I like the whistling… youd expect more from Switzerland considering it’s the home of the ebu. 25) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Netherlands.png Netherlands: The Common Linnets - Calm After The Storm Nice song but can get boring half way through. Average 26) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Albania.png Albania: Herciana Matmuja - One Night's Anger I like this – I’ve not given it much of a chance so might be a grower. 27) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Finland.png Finland: Softengine - Something Better Catchy but still very middle of the road. 28) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Malta.png Malta: Firelight - Coming Home It’s a decent song. 29) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Iceland.png Iceland: Pollapönk - No Prejudice It’s a decent song. 30) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Lithuania.png Lithuania: Vilija Matačiūnaitė – Attention It’s ok – nothing special. She looks like Anke Engelke. Awful 31) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Belgium.png Belgium: Axel Hirsoux – Mother Is this man suppose to be an opera singer?... don’t get it. Bad song and vocals. 32) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Moldova.png Moldova: Cristina Scarlat - Wild Soul It’s more noise than anything else. 33) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Russia.png Russia: Tolmachevy Sisters – Shine Crappy pop song, bad vocals. 34) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Montenegro.png Montenegro: Sergej Ćetković - Moj Svijet I like the instrumental & music video but the song itself is very boring. 35) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Latvia.png Latvia: Aarzemnieki - Cake To Bake Ridiculously bad. 36) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Georgia.png Georgia: The Shin & Mariko - Three Minutes To Earth Trying way too hard to be cool – terrible. 37) http://www.eurovision.tv/img/upload/flags/mini/Belarus.png Belarus: TEO – Cheesecake This song is all round crap. To sum up; a few really good songs, a few potential growers, some awful entries, a whole load of average songs, what seems a million wannabe james bond songs and no obvious winner. Should be a great surprise winner and a few obvious songs that will pick up lots of votes.

Armenia odds are ridiculous - i hope a song where only half of it is decent does not win! Denmark are starting to do good odds wise now too as well as belgium (wtf?) hoping those 2 will drop down before the contest begins!
