oh well, i like both UK and Romania, so i'm glad they are both high in the odds :hee:

I hate betting odds. I wish they'd get rid of them for Eurovision, or just in general.

betting odds are mostly doing a good job at their predicting a top 10


only if your number 1 or 2 fave at the bookies, you just have lots and lots of pressure on your shoulders to prove your the right choice as bookie fave :(

that's why I hate them :p I'd rather be in the dark and surprised, but I suppose because I'm such a fan I won't be able to avoid them.

Pre-show

Portugal's song is awful. Feel bad he's ill but it doesn't change my feelings on the song at all. Call a spade a spade.

I agree 100% I don't mind songs sung in their native language, I always like France's french songs and Ukraine's last year was so emotional with the humming but this is utter sh*te and an embarrassment to Eurovision if it wins.

Nicky you should vote for the UK in return for all those votes I made to save Daisy Lowe in Strictly btw...

Yes and for all those votes I cast to evict Georgina from Big Brother

I like quite a few songs sung in native tongue. I just don't like that one, I find it incredibly dull and I don't care for sob stories, i hope nobody votes out of pity.

I agree with all of this. I'm treating him like anyone else (which what they would want, no one likes to be treated differently/have people pity them etc)

I love different language songs, this year i love France and Italy's song but the Portugal's one is not my cup of tea at all and it's so dull. It's not something i would listen to again but it's something i will listen to if i was having trouble sleeping.

Ugh, I've made the decision to watch this with my friend in a public venue, which means I'm probably gonna get there and have to watch it on a tiny screen with hundreds of other people talking over the songs.

you should have invited them around yours and have snacks and stuff:smug: I would hate that myself, it gets irritating when you're watching stuff in a public place but at least it's not football where everyone shouts

Portugal... His illness hasn't even been mentioned on air and he isn't using it as a winners ticket. People like it because it's soft and a pretty song in general and if it wins im going to be happy because Portugal deserves it after all this time.

It sounds like something that'd soundtrack a tender moment in a Pixar film. It's perfectly lovely and worlds away from the rest of the contest.

That was my initial plan and then we sort of just agreed on going somewhere :( Regretting already, we're both running late so I'm probably going to miss Ruslana <\3

:clap2:

I could see it in ratatouille perfectly omg

Portugal > Italy

I am not sorry at all

The real winner is Austria.

Pull thru Lucie and Kristian

My thrussy is ready

Woooo!

Euphoria! Together till the end of time

Mess @ their tagline being "celebrate diversity" with an intro of 100% white people

I am so ready!

And 3 white male hosts

This looks so much smaller than last year

Loving this intro thing

I can't believe I briefly considered Nathan from Austria the totty of the year

Chop chop experts.

What bet should I place seeing as this is on in the living room?

Bulgaria imo

Russia to win

Why has the jury voted already, doesn't exactly make it fair as only the finale should matter

Portugal will win Leon :pipe:

Because its to time consuming

Nnn @ "3 white men"

Graham Norton is so shady I love it

Volo is god is he not?

Checked the odds and this looks very likely along with Italy.
