resident Eurovision saddo-junky here!!

Russia will win, unfortunately. There is a lot of controversy about it all being set up for them to win, they've also drawn the plum slot of last but one to perform.

I think Sweden will do very well, but sadly will be out voted because of the eastern block voting. The Swedish singer won in 1999. It's a good anthemic song, but a bit wobbly at the beginning.

Greece is kind of 'ok' and has a lot of backing.

Latvia and their bloody stupid Pirates of the Sea is a good outsider. It's awful, but very 'singalong'.

UK is going to bomb, big time. The only thing going for it is a slot after a slow ballad. We're on second - an awful spot.

My top 5?

Russia
Serbia
Greece
Latvia
Sweden

No Bosnia then :rotfl:. Shows how much I know. Just a rookie me

have to say, I don't want Russia to win, I want Sweden to win - mainly because I used a free £30 months ago to back them after hearing all the entries, so I'm a bit biased, but it is all very in Russia's favour unfortunately.

Weirdo performances to look out for - Spain and France..............and Bosnia...........

Who is doing the 'I Love Vodka' one? Definitely will back that one!

Malta - they didn't get through the semi final stage I'm afraid Sophie.

Oh....it was so good. I take it that backing the UK is not an option? I saw the heat thing and he seems to be keen on shiny shirts and gold lame.

Blimey Keren, you're a pro! Think you could give old terry a run for his money!
No idea who I think will win...certainly NOT GB!

Burlesque_Babe

lol.............Terry with his comments are half the fun!! The 2 presenters doing the semi finals were appalling - it really showed what a difference Tel makes!

I think the UK made a bad, bad choice - bottom 5 for Andy I think

Nobody outside the UK knows him as 'second on XFactor' and it just doesn't tick any Eurovision boxes.

I really shouldn't be admitting to knowing all this!!! It's doing my street cred no good whatsoever!!!

Well, my best mate is staying with us for the weekend. We've just put her kiddie-wink to bed and are preparing loadsa food and drinks (alcoholic and non) so that we can try and match Terry Wogan drink for drink.

We only watch it for his comments!
