I believe "In A Moment Like This" dropped below 2 in-running, but this was during voting when it took the first 2 douze points. It came 4th.

popking I think its the fact that the cagey old bookies cannot lay off as on horses so they take less and less chances to prevent themselves from being well and truly stuck up

Anyone know what odds Charlotte Perrelli was with Hero a few years back. She was top on some polls and a fan favourite, she managed to scrape in the top 10 of the semi-final and ended up with a low score on final night?
|
|
By:
"Hero" was 4th or 5th fave at around 16-1. I know as I backed it. :(
|
|
By:
Could be inside info, in which case it's a good price, could easily be lemmings and it could be a ridiculous price. Just wish you could bet into these markets cleanly. Lordi's price tumbled like a stone when it became apparent they'd won their SF.

By:
hero was a decent price but well beaten I think behind russia

i backed Carola the other year and lost
|
|
By:
me thinking it ticked all the right boxes but was wrong

By:
that yr 08 was last time i backed a winner

By:
Yup. Hero was a big price, bad example. Fairytale, Opera dude, Drip Drop, and Loreen were all big faves, the first and last being similar price movements to Denmark. Drip Drop big drifter after draw and Opera dude was a big dollop of Euro marmite.
|
|
By:
What did Carola come? 5th or something? It was a really strong year the year she was in.
|
|
By:
me utter dross ever since
|
|
By:
she was about 5th
|
|
By:
and lordi won it
|
|
By:
Corrine May was something like 2-1 fave when she missed top 10, but it was way before the internet explosion.
|
|
By:
Drip Drop losing to Lena and Opera dude losing to Running Scared iirc.
|
|
By:
Opera mans wasn't good vocally on the night and when i heard Azerbaijan in the semi-final i had the feeling that they would win
|
|
By:
What stood out vocally to me on Tuesday was Estonia, Russia, Moldova and Lithuania. Nothing else really impressed me vocally wise.

After tonight's semi, I think we need another forum poll. The forum called all of the last winners.

By:
I don't know if there was a sound problem with Ukraine but the music sounded low and just needed to be turned up.
|
|
By:
Zlata probably asked it to be turned down so she could show off her voice
|
|
By:
Good thinking pk. Or maybe wait til we know the full draw
|
|
By:
well we shall know after a few hours of tonights qualifiers the full running order.
|
|
By:
think it will be about 3am or 5am when its revealed
|
|
By:
literally one min ago someone had around an orangutang on my man Caesar to qualify 2 nite at 2.64
|
|
By:
it should give them the time to fiddle it.

By:

The money for Romania does look positive given most bloggers hated it

what is the criteria of judging for the prossional juries? Is originallity of song one of them?
|
|
By:
i - - - - - - hope so - remember FIVE LEAVES there are lots of con artists spoofers or whatever we wish to call em that will try to put us honest people off especially in the horsey game and everywhere else im afraid. we need i suppose to go with our OWN gut feelin and not what strangers like them bloggers say.
|
|
By:
and fan polls are not always right as its just what the fans would like/want to be the winner ande they don't always have the same taste of the millions of viewers/voters on the night.
|
|
By:
my gut feelin now says DENMARK. My strongest songs if i had not seen any betting would be RUSSIA and NETHERLANDS. I wonder if u wud feel the same FIVE LEAVES ae al if there was no betting market to study that could sway us one way or t'other?
|
|
By:
I am still not convinced about Denmark, I wasn't impressed with the performance on Tuesday. Although I was impressed with some performances on Tuesday nothing is giving me the feeling that it will win. Maybe tonight I will get that feeling.
|
|
By:
i do NOT like Denmark one bit however and will not be backing the female rod stewart now

I didn't like Fairytale at all and still don't, I had the feeling for Iceland that year.
|
|
By:
a song probably does not need to be sung the very best in the semis - Russia came 3rd in its semi 2008 before dotting up in the final - does that tell u that the singer (s) are only saving there best till the last??
|

By:
DENMARK is surely a little copy of Fairytale
