Sounds crazy?
Most people won't even know Australia are competing in this year's Eurovision, the 60th Anniversary, which has led to ESC bosses extending a special guest invitation to Australia for this year's party celebrations. And what an entry our friends from Down Under have unearthed here. The singer, Guy Sebastian, the first winner of Australian Idol in 2003, has since released 8 studio albums, accumulating 42 platinum and 3 gold certificates.
Make no mistake Guy has a sensational voice, and this number allows him to display it in full glory. Easily the performer with the BEST voice in this year's contest, Guy and his team on hearing they would represent Australia at Eurovision, decided to write a brand new song for the contest. And what a beauty they have unearthed. Written in 72 hours, it is a contemporary R&B party song to match all party songs, which will fit in perfectly with this year's 60th year celebrations, with a great hook, piano intro, trumpets, backing vocals, the works. I can just picture Terence Trent D'Arby dancing in the aisles to this. Still available around the 11/1 mark on here (12.0), this represents a nice bit of value, and should be very difficult to barge out of the Top 4/5, when we look at his main competitors:
SWEDEN: 4.6 - A rough start to this song, which is saved by the projection mapping stage show, and the singer's strong vocals, good looks, and dance moves, plus the fact that this song just sounds different to the others. The one to beat, and will be a big hit with the kids.
ITALY: 5.2 - A beautiful, powerful build-up to this one, but too much shouting for my liking in the chorus, plus it's not sung in English, makes me pass.
ESTONIA: 5.7 - This was going to be one of my first picks before all the songs were known. It's a nice song, the problem I have with it is the stage presence, and bonding of the two performers. It's quite cold, and can see it being left behind by the more gregarious efforts, when it comes to the crunch.
FINLAND: 13.5 - Punk rockers with disabilites. Great that these guys are raising awareness of people with learning disabilities, but it should be 50/1...
SLOVENIA: 17.5 - In my Top 3. I LOVE this song. I love the quirky voice of the singer, I love the violins, the piano, the dance beat. It's the perfect song for me, being an alternative music afficionado. A serious challenger.
NORAWY: 28 - Pretty duet. I'm not 100% on the guy's falsettos at the start, but it's a beautiful song. I don't think the two voices are right for the song together. I do like the female voice a lot though.
Honourable mentions:
SPAIN: 65 - Love the voice and like the song, pity it's not in English.
ICELAND: 95 - I like this, bit of an Only Teardrops vibe to it, still I like this, smashing voice on the girl. Like to see her do well.
IRELAND: 370 - After doing us a favour, and winning Eurosong at 6/1, there will be no room for dodgy live performances here, for our Molly. Hopefully qualify at least on the strength of the great video.
CYPRUS 510 - I LOVE this guy's voice, I LOVE his look, I LOVE the song, I love the simplicity of it. It repesents everything I love about music. A beautiful voice matched with beautiful guitar chords. I hope it does very well.
So there we have it, Guy Sebastian and Australia to win Eurovision 2015, followed in by Sweden & Slovenia. GL if you play and enjoy the party.

Nice preview Roger, any chance of a link to see of your fancied songs so we can decide for ourselves?
Keen leader will be weighing with his preferred power ballad, his musical taste is securely anchored in the early 80's. When he does grace us with his presence, he is on an awful run of form, including recent Eurovisions. There was a time when you could back him blind, it would be great to see him bounce back to his old form. His main contribution of late has been to deride the poor racing enthusiasts on here.

I'm a little in love with Molly Sterling. Not only is she from good stock, she is gorgeous and hugely talented. Her tone is smooth,contemporary Celtic yet imbued with notes of heather infused honey; if she was a drink she would be a Drambuie, on the rocks with a twist.. As Louis Walsh would say, she's like our very own young Ellie Goulding (meets Norah Jones).
If I was a young man I would be composing love poems in her honour and sending her my blood-stained sweat-soaked 'S' jersey.
I think she will go well, I love her song, but perhaps it lacks a catchy chorus which will prevent it from winning. Haven't seen any of the other songs. I can see Grammys in her future in any event.
Here are 3 samples of 3 of her songs;

I agree with Roger about CYPRUS, a grand little number, worth a fiver of anyone,s money at 510/1, Ozy point about the last 5 winners is correct..if the song is good enough it can win [.eastern bloc countrys or not] .
good point kavvie. I'm hoping that the voters will not be biased against our Aussie brethern, and rather adopt the opposite approach, and GIVE instead of take, and embrace the brilliant idea of allowing a special guest on this 60th year, and HEAL THE WORLD.
paulie, I was of the same opinion as you for years. The whole thing is rubbish. HOWEVER, after closer inspection, I liken it more to a Class 6 handicap. There are rough little diamonds there if you dig deep enough. And consider the fact that the majority of the talent is talentless, which makes it even easier to pick the winners. Obviously, the voting and politics can put a spanner in the works of the best song, but nevertheless, there is plenty of room to get the odd one wrong. And you can always get a good laugh out of the brutal entries that take themselves seriously. All in all, it's a great party night, and at the end of the day, what is life but a collection of big parties......
I will add links to the songs for you Ozy.

Thanks for going to all that trouble, Roger, appreciated.
Have listened to all your highlighted songs and I have to say I find your analysis spot on for each one. With the exception of Mr Cyprus's 'look'...I think his nose is fake and may be attached to his glasses.
Great to see the Betfair Irish Forum House Band representing Finland, I hope they will do us proud.
It's anther vintage year for Eurovision. Quality seems to go up every year, its a while since it could be considered a bit of a joke.
I hear you with the chemistry and performance of Estonia, pity cause I like the song Italy's is very good, but a little old fashioned. Something haunting about Norway's entry, I like it too.
I think you have nailed the top 2; Australia and Sweden top two, in that order, both crackers. Will back both.
Will Australia host if they win? Are the powers that be happy with them winning? Can the Swedish guy bring that background visual with him, its very good. Are any of the songs big hits already around Europe and do any of the acts have a significant Europe wide following?

no problem. Betfair Irish Forum House Band...
Australia can't host if they win from what I've read. Think they have to co-host. I'm sure the powers that be will be delighted if Australia win. The Swedish bloke is under fire for a) ripping off David Guetta's "Lovers of The Sun", and b) saying homesexuality is not normal....but he apparently cleared that up, saying his quote was misinterpreted, and he has since performed naked at a Gay Swedish festival...(you can't do more penance than that!)
Not up to speed with the followings round Europe. The ESC i-tunes polls should be up soon to show this.

Would it be the first modern RnB type song to win?
Enjoyed the fun video for UK entry (looks like set in Cafe de Paris?) and its a catchy number, but the wrong genre for this competition, you would have to think.

maybe they are letting you get on now after your inside man gave you those losers?
I have to say i liked the Aussie song Roger and backed it at 15/1, but its gone out to 18/1, Sweeden seems to be talking most of the money now.
Early days yet frank. They couldn't give the bearded lady away last year pre-contest....
The Swedish bloke could be without his cartoon graphics for the gig...

They pushed it out after they saw that ape roger de bris fancied it frank
roger,every time u post u make snap the seether dance

roger when your getting a call from an ATM I'd tend to wait on them calls alright
Snap i wish you the best of luck with your inside information.....
I wish you the very best with all the karaoke contests too roger, as I suspect you will need a great deal of it
I've only posted 2 "karaoke" bets on here snap.
A 2/1 winner and a 6/1 winner.
The list of your 6/4 "point & shoot" tips that flop could fill a shoebox.
Anyone who has the time could go back through your "Crumb from a Pro", Meydan Crumb, Mother Of All Nap threads, and see them there, or even your "Parting Crumb Tip - Cornelius which bombed out at 6/4 as well, when you said you would leave the forum, but somehow you are still on here telling everyone, every chance you get how great a PRO you are......the REAL pros don't start threads saying "Look at me I'm a PRO"....they just get on with it.....and put value bets, with reasoning behind them.....

Seeing as this will be my last post on here for the foreseeable future said it would be only right to leave the forum with their pockets lined.
Cornelious 2.00 Chelmsford City, will win this doing a half speed. 7/4 on here and 13/8 with the joe's, time to fill those boots to the brim for one last time!
And you still come back serving up your inside info man's 6/4 Hollie Point **** at Kempton yesterday.....

Yes it was a parting crumb as I was going on a little sun holiday for a while roger.
Margarita's and senorita's were the theme of most of the days if you must know! Great music there too! You would have been in your f**kin element there roger now that I think of it!

roger,would you please let snap the fantasist get to his bed,hes tired from all the dancing you make him do every time you post
Good luck with this Roger,nice price and solid reasoning,its all you can do.
Ozy ;i see Betfair Irish Forum House Band representing Finland are well fancied to win, one of the reasons why i like the Eurovision.
Catch Me, on lead vocals, is likely to act up and disrupt the entire shebang if things don't go their way.
Had an email from the Head of Security in Vienna asking my advice on the best form of restraint. Replied that I had tried a variety of exotic straight jackets with little success. I felt the best way to becalm him was to distract him by asking him to compile a pointless, lengthy, tabulated list of say, all Eurovision entries alphabetically since the contest started. Oh and to always follow ever instruction/request with a
symbol.
Is there an importance to this bald footballer's celebration and Guy Sebastian????
Roger, are you in Vienna? I saw a man, courtside, in a sequined thong logging into betfair...
Cheers lads. Totally forgot the qualifying was on tonight! Luckily enough it's the weakest part of the show.
The next qualifying one should be more interesting with Sweden.
Always get the odd strange ones qualifying in these!

"Rumors Of your Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated" Roger..
When I first heard Russia I was impressed till the change in the song which didn't seem to go smooth.
That plus the political problems should do for Russia, hopegully.
The bloke who backed Finland to win the whole thing at 3/1 not on good terms with himself!
the exchange is all about giving polar opinions a chance to match their money.
Eurovision has been kind to me over the years, easier before the changed voting formula.
I have risked the profits of 9 years in opposing 3 songs, one exited tonight finland, the other two I am against is Slovenia(popular ditty, lacks substance), and Australia. unless there is a mass Europe-wide jury love in with Australia it will not win simple. Roger De B has a good record in these novelty events, on this occasion I hope for my pocket that he is wide of the mark.

Frank, you ain't going to get the price of a pint laying Slovenia or Finland.
Gotta be better lays out there other than Australia. I don't know if it can get over the public apathy of it being non-European, maybe not, but IF it does, it's a good enough song to compete.

I like the Aussie song myself , but i cant understand why Spain is a 300/1 outsider, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUvIQNgg8Kw
Guy has drawn to perform in the 1st half, not good...although Conchita pulled it off last year.
Russia has drifted from last night's 3.9 out to 6.4.
Spain is a nice one, can't see it winning though, with no English.
Guy's 2nd rehearsal is up on youtube now.

Molly in Trap 2 tonight, not helpful.
Regarding the final running order, Roger, I hear something about it not being a random draw this year, rather some attempt to coordinate the type of song so as not to jar ????

Molly's song is very weak live compared to the video....
I'm hoping Cyprus qualifies. Some price collapse on it!

Anyone watching in 3D, beware, Mr Cyprus's schnoz may frighten younger children and hoover up small untethered pets.
What were the odds on someone picking out value bets of 1/60 and 1/11 but coincidentally the inverse of the OP's selections?
Unsporting/coincidental?

Very clever graphics on the Sweden song, would you take 2.4? Only for the big hitters
Mr Sweden is indeed sex on legs. Have had to turn on the de-humidifer for 'er indoors.
Defo a fake schnozz..attached to his glasses..... would be a great Eurovision moment if he removed both as a grand finale.
Nice to hear a song that we can all understand the words,Hope Mr schnozz makes the final.
Quality gets better every year, God be with the days when there were only 12 countries in it and only 2 were allowed sing in English.
Agree Oz, There was only 12countries in it the year Dana won.
Always good craic every year locating the 1 or 2 half decent songs.
Cyprus's is a lovely antidote to the noise and over production.
The secret of enjoying Eurovision is to have an open mind about it,
As yer man on BBC3 put it, we had a grower and we needed a shower.
Slovenia may as well stay at home drawn 1....
First half draws for Australia and Sweden....not good..
Italy and Russia sitting pretty!
Conchita showed how to do it from a bad draw.

Sweden 2.2 in a field of 27? It may win but the price is crazy. ..Roger the Aussie song is 16/1 good luck
Try 1.8 Sweden. Just has to point his finger in the right place, hit a few notes and they can all go home.
Unless Guy can pull something special out!

Someone wants to back Armenia 7/2 Top 10....thought they were awful!
the latvian rhianna was cute, spanish victoria secrets singer had the best legs followed by the cute lithuanian girl, serbian song rocked the house,
liked the belgium song too, russian performance was very good and possible winner, swedish song is justabout the best song, cyprus song wasnt too bad. NO BET for me GL.
