(Preliminary) Eurovision 2011 "prediction"/ favorites:

1.slovenia
2.france
3.moldova
4.sweden
5.uk/ireland

Probably far overrating Moldova and Iceland is only on just now as well although Finland was probably better. Not sure why France was the favorite but I can see why people would vote on it ...

Spain with a late entry from the 80's (at least it's easy on the eyes); Ukrainian godess with a solid performance again . Serbia up next

FAIL tonight so far: Estonia & Azerbaijan (botched perfromances)

[demolidor]

Biggest crowd reactions so far for Ireland, Switzerland, Sweden , Moldova, Germany (@home ) (during the recaps), quiet for Slovenia (must've muted it to protect the viewers ) Hungary getting a big crowd reaction as well ... France and Estonia reasonable, UK big crowd reaction (all during the second recap). Moldova big again as well as Germany ...

Top 3 votes in Netherlands:

1. Denmark
2. Sweden
3. Bosnia

Top 3 italy

1. Romania
2. UK
3. Moldova

[demolidor]

Top 3 halfway:

1. Sweden
2. Azerbaijan
3 . Denmark

Followed closely by Bosnia, Ireland & Ukraine (France nowhere near, unsurprisingly after all. Slovenia nowhere near as well )

[demolidor]

And the final result:

1. Azerbaijan (eventhough the girl of the duo messed up several times and now again in the winner's performance, dang she is simply horrible; ofcourse the song on it's own was a contender beforehand)
2. Italy
3. Sweden

Ireland above UK. Good to see UK not finishing top 5 simply on Blue's former fame , song was alright but not top 5 and certainly not with tonight's performance .

People on RAWK were praying for Jedward to get kicked down the tubes early.

[demolidor]

I think everyone would've had that urge at some point during the week. I see RAWK has managed to produce 48 pages on this Eurovision . The strange thing is some results in the semifinal were completely different we learned afterwards. Slovenia actually came through as 3rd as did Finland as 3rd or 4th in the other semi. Slovenia ended midtable and Finland somewhere down below (21 of 25).

Surprise, surprise (not): Netherlands finished dead last, 43rd

France's entry:



Compared to the actual performance (reading in the comments there might've been technical problems with his earpiece)

UK v Ireland

[demolidor]

Versus Sweden and Russia (since all four songs are very similar ). Finished in the correct order :: Swede, Ireland, UK and lastly Russia.

Sweden


Russia

How these didn't make top 5 (and finished behind Greece with Stereo Mike aka GrandMaster B) is beyond me
Clearly not enough emigrants (like Albania getting 12 points from Italy I believe) (and both getting disappointingly few points from their neighbours)

Just watched this a while ago - beautiful doesn't begin to describe it.

Another one labelled under 'beautiful' from the same group, Celtic Woman.

Demo mate, these are the kinds of people who should be winning Eurovision. I know Hayley is a Kiwi but you get the drift...
