What I liked about when we found out that Georgia got in was that the UK commentators went completely silent

Probably thinking crap we got to sit through that light show again


Even Mel was like..."my eyes are still recovering"

I really want Ukraine to win the whole thing. I think Jamala gives such an emotional performance and you can see how emotionally exhausted by it after all it is a very personal performance for her
Germany's song is really undervalued. I hope it does well.

I can see why people think that but I really liked it from the first time i had heard it. I guess her voice is very intersting but it's not like a generic pop song or ballad which has been and is in the contest alot. It stands out to me becasue it's very different.:smile:

Germany does have a good song I think people don't like it becasue it doesn't really go anywhere but yeah I also like the song. :smile:

Ukraine are playing a dirty game, trying to get sympathy votes from the public. NOT GOOD

I actually liked the song before I knew what it was about but yeah I guess you are right. I don't think it is a dirty game because usually people viewing eurovision on Saterday will not be the hardcore eurovision fans as in the bulk of the viewers will not. They will probably not even know, I want Ukraine to win for being so unique and for their killer staging but I think that it will be a two horse race between Australia and Russia, I think the bookies have it right. But it's Eurovision so you never know :smile:

Yeah I really like Spain and France this year can't wait!!!
NOt gonna lie though when we saw their preformance in the semi final I was a little worried with Spain's staging in the sense of what the jury will think I don't think it is the best staged song but the song is so strong I hope that the public will vote for it. I mean Spain should do better than last year.

One other thing I want to mention about Ukraine is that I don't really see it as them playing dirty the more I think about it I feel like she is informing people on th reality of what really happened. Just like Serbia singing about domestic violence both have a purpose to inform. (Love serbia and Israel as well btw) :smile:

Haha yeah I have found that people hate the actual song then love, I think its because the staging makes it more than what it is :smile:

What does that have to do with anything? Anyone who knows anything about the USSR knows that Stalin deported Tartars (and millions of other non-Russians) to Central Asia, it isn't an unknown story. Ukraine never entered a song about the plight of the native Crimean population before - the only reason they're doing so now is because they've lost the Crimea and want it back.

I mean we can go into the whole political aspect of it but I think that even then she is still giving perspective, I understand your opinion though. :smile:

I bet £10 for Australia to win at 16/1, £10 for France to win at 13/2 and £10 for Italy to be the best big five country at 3/1. (I got a £10 free bet, I'm not that crazy). I think with the new voting method, truly great songs have a better chance of doing very well. I would've been reluctant to back these three countries last year under the previous voting method.

Fingers crossed!

Well it looks like Russia is going to win, and France will probably beat Italy.

Both are equally as likely. I can't help but think that votes by the public for Russia would be hindered by politics. It's a great song, and should not be affected by that. Nevertheless, it was still a big factor in me not backing them. Regardless, they still did very well last year.

I think Dami Im has a hint of Loreen in her song and voice... that's one of the biggest reasons I backed Australia.
