Oh yes, sorry. I had already started typing the chart out when you posted your points, but everything is now up to date.

[gottago]

May I ask where my dearly beloved Austria currently stands?!

Been a month since I last did these, time for a rethink

12 Bulgaria
10 Sweden
8 Iceland
7 Latvia
6 Romania
5 Spain
4 Croatia
3 Hungary
2 Norway
1 Albania

Outside my top 3 I'd happily give points to about 20 other songs.

In glad to see Slovenia in the top 10 but no sign of FYR Macedonia

I think if France flop this year, it won't be from a Hungary 2011 persepctive, Anggun proved herself at EIC on Saturday that she can sing live well and work an audience!

Am feeling a lot happier about putting an e/w bet on her at 100/1 anyway....

I still think France will be bottom 5. Her vocals weren't as good as I hoped they would be, maybe it was the acoustics though.

I can't wait for the rehearsals to start so we can see what's going to do well and what isn't.

That's when I go into a self-imposed blackout :P I like to keep some surprises for the shows (and man, was Cyprus a surprise last year )

I'll still read the comments on the rehearsals though...that's the fun bit!

I always try to hold back but it never works. I usually spare myself a few of the full dress rehearsals though

I can't wait to disagree with what Keith Mills thinks

It may be a longshot but I think Joan has a chance of qualifying. And I think that would lead to an even bigger outpouring of emotion than Switzerland last year.

My updated points. No big moves other than Latvia.
