    Thank goodness Norway got through tonight. It was the only song I really liked.

    I’ve only just caught up with it as was at Snooker with blind Dave… He gets his small torch out now for long range shots.
    Poor Alessandra looked more than a little worried being the last named to get through..

    It certainly went down to the wire for Norway! I was pretty happy with the qualifiers, and there were no big shocks. The betting proved a very accurate guide.

    I think the UK have miscalculated yet again as they’ve gone full on Europop and I think something a bit more edgy will win it. I hadn’t actually listened to any of the songs prior to last night.

    Norway out to 60 on the machine.

    Best of the “House Of Hughesey” Chezzfolio is 2.12 Sweden (now 1.56) and 6.8 Finland (5.5).

    Norway are history… She can’t sing that whistle note live.

    It seems to be boiling down to Sweden versus Finland. Finland isn’t the type of song that would be expected to do well with the juries, but seems to have a lot of momentum behind it.

    I’ve had a couple of speculative bets on Moldova and Australia for Top 10 finishes, so expect to see them languishing in the lower regions of the scoreboard…

    Austria could be a bit of a mover perhaps after tonight depending how it goes.. I like the song but the staging is a bit below average to non existent

    Never forget the Polish songs…Over the years their sweeping waves of immigration to other Eurovision countries has impacted the local countries vote. This leads to a Polish bias in overseas votes..Gambler beware..

    All in jest..Looking forward to great a Scouse night of entertainment on Saturday….

    I can only admire the dedication of those who follow this weeks and months in advance. I shall get a few drinks in for Saturday and watch it, it’s all a bit of fun really.

    As for Poland, if their citizens residing abroad are trying to influence the results they aren’t doing a very good job given that their best result since EU accession is, er, 8th.

    Richard88, ”As for Poland, if their citizens residing abroad are trying to influence the results they aren’t doing a very good job given that their best result since EU accession is, er, 8th”

    They are saving up their Zeloties for the betting coup… :wacko:

    she has a wonderful stride on her

    Second semifinal now done, so we have the final field for Saturday! I don’t think we saw any contenders to win tonight, though Austria, Slovenia and Australia all had a good evening. Georgia was probably the unluckiest to not get through.

    I haven’t a clue. I stuck on Australia at 200/1 4 places beccause
    someone sad they were a bit mad but good. I thought maybe they might
    squeeze into the top 4.

    I saw them tonight for the 1st time, holy sh8t, that’s a tenner e/w
    down the tubes. It looks like it’s Sweden’s to lose by the sound of
    it, but you never know, she might just fall at the 1st.

    “Georgia was probably the unluckiest to not get through.”

    She was very upset afterwards
    She is a serial winner in everything she does, must have been a shock for her
    Apparently she sang in English.. Must have been some muffled Georgia cross Geordie accent there as I didn’t catch a word of it. :unsure:

    BigG,
    The same group of Aussies sang a better song last year but missed out on qualifying in the National heat
    At least they are in the second half of the draw.. a lot of the big boys and girls have been drawn in the first half.. Good news for Finland is although drawn in the first half they are 13 so basically in the middle
