Jeff Abbott Posted May 21, 2015 at 04:10 PM Posted May 21, 2015 at 04:10 PM (edited) Yes, it is high time they won again ... it's a shame the Netherlands are out though, would have been fun to be Amsterdam 2016 ... but as you know, I am all for Rome 2016 or Milan 2016 ... #TeamItalynot a great fan of Italy though (I like it but I don't love it) If Italy was represented by NEK (he came in second after Il Volo) then they would be my #1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFxtn_BQauk Edited May 21, 2015 at 04:13 PM by Jeff Abbott 1 Quote
Jeff Abbott Posted May 21, 2015 at 04:12 PM Posted May 21, 2015 at 04:12 PM (edited) I will be avoiding anything #Eurovision until I watch the show later tonight ...I know some Eurovision fans don't even watch semi-finals not to spoil surprise before the final begins. I could never do that. Edited May 21, 2015 at 04:12 PM by Jeff Abbott 1 Quote

And as you said, there are several great songs/singers ... so there are a couple of countries that can take the title this year ... 1 Quote

ErwinG Posted May 22, 2015 at 02:08 PM Posted May 22, 2015 at 02:08 PM let's wait till you're back from work so what did you think of the second semi-final? There were some great performances and some not so great ... I am happy to see Montenegro and Israel in the finals ... Sweden (Mans) was amazing .... so it will definitely be a battle for points till the end ... if Mans wins, I will be happy too ... but I am still #TeamItaly Quote

browseceline Posted May 22, 2015 at 07:43 PM Posted May 22, 2015 at 07:43 PM I think Sweden is overhyped, because it's basically the visuals that make the song attractive. and the guy singing it is goodlooking. But the song itself has a very monotone refrain in my opinion. I think Russia might have the biggest chance winning the competition. That song is really one amazing piece! 1 Quote <iframe width="640" height="390" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hl2XkxnYljg" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

That song is really one amazing piece!for many Eurovision fans Sweden's staging lost all its charm because they've already seen it during Melodifestivalenthere's also an issue of alleged plagiarism, many people claim "Heroes" is a blunt rip-off from "Lovers on the Sun" by David Guetta. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPiW0tkWfeg Edited May 22, 2015 at 08:25 PM by Jeff Abbott 1 Quote

I will be happy if Mans wins as well ... but we have been to Sweden already ... give me somewhere else so I can actually go next year ... not that I would actually go to Israel or Serbia ... but Belgium, Spain, Italy would be perfect for me ...
