That was a disappointment.. Kate Wolf was a little shy but still, 22nd place? Sad


Yeh her performance in the semi-finals was much better, but I agree, she deserved to come top 10 at least imo. I thought Blue (for UK) had a shaky start but ended well. 

How did Italy come 2nd? I thought their song was terrible.

As an Irish person I must apologize to the rest of Europe for our entry, the ordinary people of Ireland had no hand in this (nor for the past couple of years).


Jedward seem to be quite popular with the Germans, I really liked your entry last year, this year I hope UK win but I have a feeling Hungary will.

Luckily we are already out. 
Stupid waste of (tax)money Roll Eyes

Luckily?! I always rejoice when we end at the tail again. That's the most exciting part: who finishes last? Then the real challenge begins: how did that song go again?
  

The book had the effect good books usually have: it made the stupids more stupid, the intelligent more intelligent and the other thousands of readers remained unchanged.

If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through.

Ye Swizerland is a very charming and happy song, same for Iceland was well. Can't remember Serbia's entry but will take your word for it. In terms of UK's entry it's very mainstream, I think Blue are singing for UK this year to try and relaunch their music career, as I'm from UK I hope we win, however if we can't win I hope Hungary do because I really like your song, and Kati Wolf is a great singer!

2nd Semi Final is tonight btw, I hope Jedward singing for Ireland don't get through, I cant' stand them!

I like Hungary very much but I'm Hungarian. I'm happy that others seem to like her too. Smiley

I watched the first semi yesterday but I was between disappointed and annoyed by the lack of imagination in most songs. Sad

Other than Hungary I liked Switzerland, Serbia and Iceland.

The UK song I don't personally like but I think will be in the top 3.

The final is on the 14th and will be broadcasted on the BBC (as usual).

I think Hungary, Denmark and dare I say it the UK have the best chances this year.

Here's links to youtube clips of my favourite entries:

UK - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRU31ieUhJM
Our best entry since Katrina and the Waves for sure.

Hungary - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wy_oB_FYd7s
Really great Dance song. My personal favourite of all the entries.

Denmark - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGVZktHLZhk
Good song and love their hair styles!

Finland - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h65xXOVrQzQ
Very laid back song, nice melodies.

Azerbaijan - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eG2uNbNRkAw

Switzerland - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5w-WKekpd4
Very charming song, felt 60s ish.

Iceland - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foI2HlqsWQk
Sad story behind this song, the composer who wrote the song died a few months ago.

Who do you think will win?
