Eurovision Song Contest 2013
Rehearsals are underway, but there's a poor standard of songs this year.
Index of songs: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0070hv ... 2013-songs
The UK are the dark horses and one of the outside bets to win. It's top 5 in the OGAE polls.
The hot favourite is Denmark.
Cascada, who's representing Germany, had a massive UK #1 in 2008 with "Evacuate the Dance Floor".
Ireland don't have Jedward.

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2013
This is a brilliant a capella version of "Lautar" from last year and Moldova's entry, "O Mie". I think it's very good. The Molodvan entry is also very good.

I'd half-expected Andi to do this by now.

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2013
I've only just seen it, it's gone up on the BBC website about 5 hours ago. Andi should have done that before 6pm at the latest.tubeguru wrote:I'd have thought you would have done that yourself.

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2013
There was a post on the BBC Eurovision website which explains it's not as political as some people make out. Yes, Cyprus gives 12 points to Greece, but then how on earth did Germany win a few years ago?

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2013
Good pop song sung by a pretty girl - occasionally the music will trump politics, c.f. Lena in 2010 and Lordi in 2006.hopeful traveller wrote: how on earth did Germany win a few years ago?

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2013
I agree with Hopeful Traveller that this year seems to be a very poor standard.
The odds on Denmark are very short but I'm not convinced that they will win, the Scandi block vote should give them a healthy score but maybe not enough.
I think it could be the closest voting for many years, with no real stand out songs.
My personal favourites are Malta and The Netherlands, but I don't expect either of these songs to finish top 10.
UK no hopers yet again, I think we will finish bottom 5, the song is simply not strong enough.

Humperdinck's song was 10x better and did awfully.

I've got time to squeeze a semi in before I go to work later.
