Literally can't at Hovi's leather fingers

[Headie]

Israel First Half, hope he's on before Douwe

[Headie]

Poland First Half, Latvia second half.

[EspeonBB]

The second half is packed so it might actually benefit Dami performing in the first half

[Crimson Dynamo]

Australia was miles ahead

Welp Joe & Jake will do worse than Molly now, the penultimate slot is too late for people to care anymore, they just want the votes to open already.

Dami getting the latest slot in the first half <3333 I stoll hold hope that she can beat Russia but yeah, 18-23 is usually the best places so Russia has pretty much won at this point.

And not me and Shaun being psychic and predicting Belgium will open. I'm here for Sax rising on iTunes again though!

good draw for Malta, 22th




and unlucky number 13 for Dami

Sweden was #10 last year and won
Austria was #11 when they won in 2014

Australia has a chance

I'm really staying loyal to Ira Losco, and nothing can change my vote to Dami



she's my queen

Nicky can you please vote for Dami tomorrow

[Black Dagger]

Except it wouldn't be hosted in Australia.

Yeah I know I think I read somewhere that it would be held in Germany if Australia were to win so #Berlin2017 maybe

I think it's between Russia and Australia for the win, maybe it's just all the hype around Australia or wishful thinking but I truly believe Dami will win. The UK draw is pretty good too although we'll be overshadowed by Armenia

[Ross.]

snatch that pimp slot UK

[Shaun]

25th is when people have usually already switched off </3 Although I think following a double whammy of Georgia (indie noise) and Austria (fluffy nonsense) could help.

Russia in 18th has got this sewn up and will probably win by more than 100pts ahead of 2nd

LOL @ Hayden and I predicting Belgium 1st as well.

[_Tom_]

Good slot for the UK and not a bad slot for Australia either

[zakman440]

I read an interview with Jon Ola Sand earlier - here's what he had to say about what would happen if Australia wins:

As for what happens if Australia wins, Sand says they have a plan. “I don’t want to reveal which broadcaster will cooperate with SBS Australia to host it in Europe, but it will be hosted in Europe. We have an agreement in place.”

The UK's placement sucks just a little :/

[Braden]

I honestly don't think placements have too much of an effect on the outcome. People have won in all sorts of positions. I was a little gutted we were second to last because I do agree that by the end people already have their favourites and tend not to care, but Dima Bilan won performing second to last in 2008 (not implying the UK will win bye, I don't think we will).

The song and performance is fundamentally what influences the result.

i agree, if people like a song they will be voting for it, no matter what draw they are in

[Vanessa]

Italy sang last with Il Volo and we came third. So I Don't think is bad singing towards the end.

[Braden]

The only issue in this day of age in Eurovision is that if your one of the first to perform then your practically ****ed, but that's because there are so many acts to get through.

bye at Britain being on so late they will end up on match of the day
