Why all this fuss about Greece ? She's "mutton dressed as lamb", doesn't look good at all on stage without camera tricks and the song is an average ballad sounded rather like Roy Orbison's "Love hurts". Yes if only Cyprus and Albania were voting then Greece will win.
Sweden is hyped as well. It's an excuse of a song just with a proven euro singer who can shout loud notes !
Russia isn't instant enough for those who only hear it once but with a good song or an established artist, they tend to get huge ex-eastern bloc support on the night, so it's possible.
The semi final songs do have a great advantage as each year's final results show.
For an outside bet try FYROM (Macedonia to you and me) and who knows what Finland will do
Interesting cynical stat from me here (me cynical? never!). Armenia vote for the first time this year. Knowing the history of the 2 countries and the utter hatred still held by a large percentage of the Armenians, I'm still prepared to bet their 12 will go to Turkey.
A Belarussian friend told me that when they vote on the night,whichever numbers they press, the recorded message just says "Thank you for voting for Russia"

Yes, i am beginning to see Romania as a threat now and agree it can be a big hit. I was in Bucharest over Easter weekend and surprisingly a lot of people there in the business don't seem to rate it.
What depressing weather again today, cant wait to get to Athens next weekend!
Great that you passed on the DVD to Daz!!!

Tornero; I reckon it's a hit whatever.
For those who can't get Windows, try this for audio...
