Alex’s favourites are Albania and Norway and will be voting them and we will also be voting for Australia. I think Australia or Italy will win but Alex thinks that Netherlands will lift the trophy. Either Germany or Denmark will finish last in Alex’s opinion.

May 18, 2019 at 19:35 #1439649Oh, I had heard the French song; I’ve had the semis playing on I player for a couple of days but have just half watched/listened to it. For some reason I didn’t think it was a 2019 entry; really like it. 33/1 now, though. Some people actually make serious money on Eurovision but you have to start listening to the songs early on.

only half way through the jury votes, but your North Macedonia
is at the top of the tree. I’ll happily forget my miserable odds and cheer on your 200/1.
Best of luck mate

May 19, 2019 at 00:09 #1439714I backed the runner up as well and am still gutted
May 19, 2019 at 00:10 #1439715Well done Alex
May 19, 2019 at 00:40 #1439717Unlucky Raymo, I was cheering you on there.
But a competition that bans political views and yet you couldn’t have a more political competition. Cyprus votes for Greece, Greece votes for Cyprus etc etc… Europe hates Brexit, therefore Europe hates Britain, therefore guess who finishes last? LOL
Value Is EverythingMay 19, 2019 at 00:53 #1439718We never got any votes prior to Brexit anyway….at least one of the best songs won [it was a grower]. There were boos at the partisan [?] votes; something I’ve never heard before. Still think Norway should have won.
May 19, 2019 at 12:15 #1439732Why were Australia allowed to compete in Eurovision? It’s keeping me awake at night, it really is
Post Brexit I think the UK, or possibly just England, should show our former Eurochums the two fingers and instigate The Commonwealthvision Song Contest, with a wildcard for our new trading partners the Faeroe Islands

May 19, 2019 at 13:01 #1439736Can’t help but feel there’s something a bit crooked about the panel votes which are so different to the public one. We really should go through the elimination stages; if we did we wouldn’t have to suffer this ritual humiliation each year.
May 19, 2019 at 13:22 #1439738I dread to think how much money we spend on entering every year Moe!!
If it was up to me we wouldn’t bother!
May 19, 2019 at 14:51 #1439742If we hadn’t got the message by now, I think it’s crystal after last night that the message
from our European cousins is f*%k right off. Okay, it’s funny in a way, in that it’s almost
a standing joke that we’re going to crash and burn regardless if it were Adele turning up,
and I must admit when we got 3 points awarded in the public vote I actually burst out laughing.
However I think it’s becoming a year on year ritual humiliation and we should pull the plug. If
we did, at least we wouldn’t have to suffer it in on the telly, and maybe Drone could get a
decent night’s sleep
May 19, 2019 at 15:51 #1439750I’m quite proud of the fact that we Brits do seem to vote for what we think are the best songs. And it is a relief that a very good song won. I just don’t think we take it as seriously as the other countries. I’d love to know what would happen with the voting if we secretly did a secret swap with another country. And our song was Swedish written, I believe. Saw a programme a while back about how many popular songs are written by a group of Swedes; really surprised me.
May 19, 2019 at 23:38 #1439791Unlucky Raymo.
I remember backing Cyprus last year at treble figure odds and them going off 2nd fav
it’s a good advantage to hear the songs before the Semi FinalsMoehat, my Son said the Jury did their scoring the night before and that Norway had technique problems with their performance otherwise could have been a lot closer

Good judge Drone.
Some excellent music has come from Zimbabwe in the past.
In particular The Bhundu Boys.Value Is EverythingMay 21, 2019 at 00:10 #1439868Norway not winning will rank alongside Life of Pi not winning the Oscar for best film and Last of the Mohicans not winning the Oscar for best film score. Mortified I am…
