I'll have you know that Hard Rock Hallelujah was one of my biggest ever wins. God bless Lordi.
I even bought a Lordi t-shirt to celebrate. |
|
By:
Apparently the Dutch bird is a county standard swimmer as well.
|
|
By:
I don't think Lordi was favourite that year so was quite a surprise that it won
|
|
By:
I'm hoping for some breast stroke later
|
|
By:
price is slowly shortening on her again.
|
|
By:
Lordi was a big outsider before the semi, it came in that week, and finals night but there were still a few ahead of it in the betting.
|
|
By:
I wasn't keen on it winning but was glad for Finland winning for the first time ever.

What price was Ryback going into the semis?
|
|
By:
Rybak was just above evens i think
|
|
By:
I am sure someone will be more informed than me, but I think it was around 3.
|
|
By:
same for Loreen too?
|
|
By:
both ended with late draws in the final
|
|
By:
I think both were similar prices, around 3 but neither interested me at the price. IIRC Rybak drifted a little after the semi if anything.
|
|
By:
I thought Rybak won from an early draw - something like 6?
|
|
By:
no he got a late draw
|
|
By:
he got drawn 20th of 25
|
|
By:
Loreen got drawn 17th of 26
|
|
By:
2nd half late draws does have an advantage over being drawn in the first half the draw, only 2 songs since 2000 have won from being performed in the first half.
|
|
By:
The effect is not so pronounced now as a few years ago, but in the main yes.
The last couple of years, the draw seems to have played much less of a part in the final. |

here we go

By:
Lena was 23?
|
|
By:
Azerbaijan were pretty high as well I think - maybe 19?
|
|
By:
Dunno I was thinking of Saade, Yohanna etc with high places from early draws.
|
|
By:
she was 22nd in draw
|
|
By:
Cowell would love this
|
|
By:
And the failure of the likes of Ukraine last year from the pimp.
|
|
By:
someone should put the lights on
|
|
By:
I'm glad Loreen didn't use this staging last year

|
|
By:

|
|
By:
Bet she is a presenter on the Swedish Loose Woman
|
|
By:
She is a good presenter tbf, and rare for someone to host such a big show alone.
|
|
By:
Ana Matronic very good too, especially given she is a singer and not a presenter.
|
|
By:
