This.
Seems to be especially true for Eastern European countries

Nah, Iron Maiden

Though, seeing as how Lordi got successful with their creepy masks, Dani should do fine

Slovenia wont get far, like every year. Maja has a great voice and looks good, but the song itself is a piece of garbage. Written by the same people that wrote every previous (very un-succesfull) entries.
The selection (caled EMA here) has become a total farse, where you win depending on who was the author.
But Maja did win the ''most beautiful of the contestants'' award

I always thought that Eurovision was just a sketch on the Benny Hill show.

The best act on the stage this evening was Jan Delay. This is german music, not Lena!
In a just world he would win!

My prediction: either Estland, Switzerland or France will win.

However the best song was from Moldavia!

It should be Ireland vs France

Lena wasn't that bad.

Precisely...it was ruined more than ten years ago when the influx of other countries brought with them a whole new kind of bias that had nothing to do with the actual musical acts but more a case of pinning ones colours to each others regional masts.

Glad I'm at work feeling sorry for the wife who is having to watch it because the daughter wants to see it

Wow, Azerbaijan, nobody of us even gave a tip on it, as the only attribute of the song was its avarageness. I am glad the the terrible musical crimes of Sweden, Greece and the UK did not win! Much too many votes for this garbage!

That was a pretty good prediction, with Switzerland and Estland at the last 2 places
Remember: don't ask me about European musical taste!

I liked the cover version she did of her old song, together with Raab. Her new song was nothing special. I am proud however that me and my Frau managed not to hear it before. It is possible to go through life and to avoid chart music!
