Kell Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 Ah yes, Wolves of the Sea - it was fun, but it was never going to go anywhere (I think it was just last year, actually!). I'm really glad that Greece went through along with Norway - both good solid songs with good performances. I still fancy Greece to win the whole thing - they're second favourites after Norway, but they have a better song and their contestant has entered before and came third.

SueK Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Does anyone know what the odds are for our song? I haven't been watching any of the Semi Finals, did we have to go through that or did we automatically qualify for the Final? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 According to Yahoo, the odds on UK are 14/1. I've just placed bets on Greece to win and both Turkey and Armenia each way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordie_bint Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I love Eurovision!!! I have been looking at some of the other entries and wow I think its going to be a magic show, with the odd euro silly song thrown in. Now will the uk stand a chance, well as they say about the lottery you have to be in it to win it. I feel this year we have a great song and even if she does not do well (which I doubt), I dont think we have seen the last of her! New voting this year, we shall have to see how it goes, same with Graham Norton...............I will so miss Wogans comments .............do you think he will be watching? I am not going to choose a winner but they should have a prize for the sets and costumes too! Now bring it on Europe, I have my peanuts and a bottle of wine ready!

Kell Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 What's the feeling about Chiara? She's got a lovely voice and the song is decent, but it's not my bag, I'm afraid. It doesn't really stand out from the others for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inver Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Frankly unless our country ends in an "ia" or we have Balkan or Baltic neighbours, we ain't gotta chance:lol: But it does.....Grande Brittania:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 So, who will be watching the final tonight on BBC1 at 8pm? Dale and I will both be watching after Xander has gone to bed (thank goodniess his bedtime is 7pm and he will have settled and be sleeping before it starts, so we can enjoy it in peace - LOL!). Looking forward to seeing how Mr Norton does. I'm not a fan of his, but when he appeared briefly on the 2nd semi final, he seemed to be on good form. It's going to be strange not having Tel doing the commentary, but things change... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzanna Addison Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I haven't heard all of it! It sounds nice but not a winner! As someone said: What happened to cheesy happy songs like Making Your Mind Up? I will be watching with my best mate after all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucybird Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I heard Andrew Lloyd Webber saying he didn't think she'd win, great show of faith that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) For those who haven't seen the songs and want a sneak peak ahead of time, you can watch the videos on YouTube HERE. However, I do b elieve that "On-the-night" viewing is always more fun. I am SOOOO looking forward to tonight, even though I'm not a huge fan of any of the songs in particular this year (usually there are at least half a dozen I really like a fair bit and one or two that I really love). It's something I look forward to all year! Edited May 16, 2009 by Kell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
