Sanna worthy fav imo, but I think Ace would do better in ESC if it won tomorrow - modern, catchy, upbeat and well performed, in the mould of Lena's Satellite. Maybe the MF organisers thought the same in putting it in pimp.
Link for live feed will be something like :

I'm not sure I'll be able to watch it so I don't know the time or if it competes with The Voice - if so, and people are watching both simultaneously, it may be best to have in-play MF discussion on The Voice thread.

The fact that the Swedish charts are stuffed with Melodifestivalen songs shows that they take it seriously and make an effort for quality. There are other MF songs in the charts that didn't even make the final.

Crazy day in the market! I`ve had some mad prices matched, my favourites being laying Alcazar at 9.8, and Ace as low as 1.82. The way things are going, Ace could be even shorter by tomorrow, but happy enough with today`s moves. Turned in to a pleasingly lively market.

Kicking myself for not backing Ace Wilder. I agree with Henry's assessment of it. A very catchy little pop song.
It's the only one I like apart from the wonderful Songbird. Not being a filthy trader like tim  I'm only on Songbird at prices between 8 and 50 since qualifyingStupidly I didn't back Ace Wilder that was 25 to win after it qualified  I had my best ever tourney win on the poker overnight. So I can't complain  Poker may well be the future for me. Unlike betting on specials you are always going to be welcomed as a winner. Not that I'm winning that often on specials of late  |

I won a $50 tourney on stars. We dealt when down to the final 4, so I got less than the guy who came 2nd, but we were really only messing about after we dealt. So happy with my return
|

By:
How much you win then? What does "dealt" mean? I play live twice a week now and enjoy the craic both tournaments...cash too scary.

Dealing happens in most tournies when you are down to the last 3 or 4, GB2. On stars anyway. It means you call a moderator and they divide the prize money based on the number of chips each player has. It was $8K for 4th up to $21K for the winner. I was 2nd biggest stack so settled for $15K. The guy in 4th got 12K and the chip leader just over 16K |

Very nice. Well done. How many in tournament? Thousands?

So big, but not huge. The 8th anniversary stars million had 46,000 in it last week. I finished 850th for just under a grand. Some lucky German won $1.1M |

By:
wow I struggle to make the final table out of 60. Is it all "skill" or is there some fancy software that does the maths? I need to improve my staking ie maxing the nuts/getting value.
|
|
By:
It's a game of skill where you need an awful lot of luck to win a tournament with 2700 players
2+2 forum is worth a look http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/ As for software there is either pokertraker or hold'em manager. You can download both on a trial basis. Then you have to pay. |

Gl all watching. Despite saying I was gonna avoid the danish final, I have gone for Bryan Rice and Anna David against the field. Both MOR and decent songs, much as I like the trashy throwaway Bruno Mars type fave.

Evening pk. I've given up on my Ellen bets. I will just be interested to see if the market is informative ir as it's been in previous weeks
|
|
By:
Well I made her a far bigger green than planned as her price got so silly. She's not a likely winner (she never has been to me) but she still can win, unlike 4 of the songs.
|
|
By:
Good to hear you keeping the faith. Here is one that can't win
|
|
By:
It is my 4th favourite song of the 10 too (Ellen) after Alcazar, Yohio and Paparizou.
It is largely coincidental they are my 4 greens lol. |
|
By:
I wish I'd backed my 2nd fav. Ace Wilder
|
|
By:
Well as a back to lay yes if I had realised how low it will go, but I still stand by my stance that it is only the 6th most likely winner. If it gets more than 50pts from Juries, I may have to have a hasty rethink.
|
|
By:
I loved it. Wish I could vote from here
|
|
By:
Ellen gave a nice sweet performance. Big (expected) cheers for Alcazar.
|
|
By:
Fook knows why. This is awful
|
|
By:
I love it. Best song in MF.

For me it's one step up from Scooch..and not a very big step
|
|
By:
I know it can't really win though. (Head over Heart)
|
|
By:
Now that Scooch song really was terrible.
I'd be interested to know at some point what you think of "Crying At The Discotheque" which was one of Alcazar's biggest global hits. |
|
By:
I was expecting the giant disco ball to drop on them at some point.
|
|
By:
I've never heard of it. Will check it out later
|
|
By:
Oscar better song and better vocal than Anton so be interesting to see which does better.
|
|
By:
Yep. This is the best of the uptempo songs so far for me
|
|
By:
Ellen rather lost in mix. 4th would have been nice
|
|
By:
In the running order

This next song is the worst in the entire final.

This is a dreadful dirge

Doing well on iTunes this week tho
|

By:
I can't see it getting into double figures with juries.
|
|
By:
Ellen getting to a very backable price for top 3 maybe. Could hit double figures.
