Cohen is a bit like Tom Waites...I can never quite decide if they are talented or complete charlatans. Fair play to Cohen in that he shagged virtually every woman in LA worth shagging. Ooops a bit of filth crept in there

It will scrape into the final, but no chance of a top 10 finish

Not sure with holding a large green I entirely agree with this
"When you ooze class, who cares about douze points?"  |
|
By:
Nor me
Altho I tend to disagree with the article. Not that Anouk is the class of the contest but that class isn't rewarded. It tends to rewarded much more these days than the cheap, gimmicky and musically irrelevant. Which is 90% of the runners. Probably higher this year. |

She needs to wear a space suit, be carried on stage by a giant and stand on a box containing a shadow dancer
|

And wear a dress that grows and grows. Then the bloggers would love her
 |

By:
Be nice if she wore something half interesting, looks like she just wandered in off the street at the minute

Birds still flying high. Let's hope the prods are kind and it closes the 1st half

I actually loved the way she was dressed,a refreshing change from the white dresses!!
I love this song the more i hear it. .....Will it win? I just don't know if people will either love it or hate it. |

Marmite is a positive in Eurovision.
Good to see Loreen pick it out as her favourite song too. Much like Rybak did with Satellite and Lena. |

Nice of her to release it a couple of days before the final

I'm on board now.Took the 33/1 E/W first 4 on the High St.
I like the look of its draw,sandwiched between 2 duffers,I thought it stood out as unique in the Semi-Final,and whilst undoubtedly marmite that can't be a bad thing in a field of 26. The final factor in getting me on board was seeing bearcub put it first in his Top 4 prediction . |

Odds are too high for this on BF imo, but I'm already too green.

Welcome aboard Hems
Totally agree Henry. Denmark over 40 times more likely to win? I just don't see it. I'm strangely confident and unlike you I just keep backing it. |

100% the class of the field for me still.

Introduced it to a number of people and all of them have disliked it on first listen
Really can't see it working  |

It's clearly marmite. Needless to say I am with cider

Loved it on first hearing and still do. Got on at 12s initially
and been topping up ever since. Musically very sophisticated which surely the juries will love. There should also be a significant number of viewers who will appreciate this musicality, possibly even to the extent of musical snobbery, and will be motivated to vote. As we have seen here, it divides opinion, but there are many in favour and they tend to be very strong in their views. I suspect this will translate into a significant number of viewers votes across the board. Whilst I don't expect it to provide a multitude of 12s and 10s from the viewers, I do think it could easily achieve a steady stream of medium points which when combined with the jury votes could be enough win outright, or at least run it very close indeed. An added plus is that there is no other song remotely similar to split this type of vote either. Really struggling to understand the current prices available, but am using it to top up frequently :) |

Good luck guys I'm confident that this can do better than Spain did for leaves last year.
I still loathe it but I'm obviously in the minority and with jury points assured and with the public like for it at least in western europe witnessed in i-tunes I think it can place. Hopefully along the way it may present a trading opportunity in the win market in running as 40 does seem over generous. I have to say I much prefer Italy at the same odds (hide) |
|
By:
Netherlands & Italy are my 2 favourites and the price seems too good to be true! Not heard Italy as many times as the netherlands but really love this fellas voice.
I started backing Netherlands at about 12's so I also can't help topping up I also think Georgia stand a good chance at the price. |

Anouk nailed it going by the bloggers and hopefully tops the jury vote.

The only song I can listen to over and over again and never get bored (the fact she's so good looking and has got the best cheekbones ever might influence that decision however ;) ). Seriously though a beautiful song that deserves to win (none of the online polls I've seen ask which song "Deserves to win".) Hopefully it's a good omen that the producers chose to show her getting through last in the first semi and then decided to give her the best possible position in the singing order in the final!

Also a thing to note perhaps is the Netherlands had a very good record when it was jury voting only (so hopefully as an Anouk backer, since it's a decent song, the jurys will vote for a quality Netherlands song). I have to admit the Denmark song is good but I'm hoping the Ukraine song,which comes later in the running order & which to me seems a very similar style, will dilute the celtic-style-song Vote and leave Anouk to stand alone as a unique style song.
