I'll wait to be surprised...
Voting is now mainly politically biased regardless of the song, but at least Russia won't get too many votes this year

The thing is, I think this year that although the song itself is rubbish in my opinion, it will probably score some points.

But how on EARTH are Armenia the favourites?! Their song is terrible.

WOW. What a shock.

I like Switzerland's song, although I don't think they'll score very highly tomorrow night.

Well, according to http://www.oddschecker.com/tv/eurovision/winner, Sweden and Austria have moved to the top of the favourites list.

I have now voted in the poll attached to this thread, and have chosen "none of the above", as I believe Austria will win it easily.

I've changed my vote from Romania to the UK owing to the draw for tonight.

Romania's entry this year is not as good as the same singers four years ago. That was my favourite song that year. That circular piano is a bit silly.

I'm struggling to think of a Jam track that sounds anything like the Finnish entry - help me out someone?

So - circular pianos, trampolines, twins, giant hamster wheels and bearded women. Good to see it's all about the music and not cheap gimmicks! :lol:

I will be out fortunately.

Music hasn't been about the music in any form for many years now ...
