I'm sure some of the countries will shun Russia in the voting this year, either way they'll qualify for the final, it's Russia after all.

that's right, don't know why but I kinda prefer English version of her song (Italian - English mix would be great too)
during the show she'll be singing in English

can't complain about Poland's placing (performing after booooring Georgia will make us stand out)

Exactly what I was thinking ...

btw did you read/hear about Aram's comments regarding Conchita? I can't seem to find a link to read though ... not sure what he said either ...

Heyy guys! It's been a while since I posted something on the forum (I'm new here so I guess nobody knows me anyway lol). Well, the ESC is getting closer and I can't wait to know who's gonna be part of the grand final and, of course, who's gonna win! I gotta say that Ireland and the UK (which instrumental sounds a lot like LMBTL to me) are among my favourite entries this year along with Austria and Russia (Politics aside, I gotta say that their songs always have an effect on me lol). I'm not so sure abour Armenia though... Maybe not enough words and two much dubstepish arrangments... Maybe I should give it some more spins before it totally grows on me. What can I say about France? Well, it's gonna bring on some fun anyway lol. I've booked an appartment in Copenhagen during the week of the event. Anyone's going?
