    News from Down Under that Jessica Mauboy is performing Never Be The Same in her interval act, plus another that's currently in the works. Good choice, it's a great song even if it's a bit of an homage to Halo. :p

    It's looking like Conchita is this years Valentina for the OGAE crowd.

    I'm happy with 5th for the UK. :p

    There's some strange stuff going on on oddschecker

    Latvia were dead last by a long way, now they're 29/37??

    Iceland have plummeted from the mid 20's to 34th (400/1 seems crazy to me) and Georgia is propping up the table

    Perhaps they do this every year and I'm not aware (since this is the first year I've been really into the contest) but is anybody else sick of seeing Emmelie? Like.. she's everywhere this year! Eurovision still haven't uploaded our EIC performance yet uploaded Emmelie. Then they uploaded another Headlines video last night and half of it was Emmelie. No joke, I think I've heard more of her than Basim this year. Do they usually focus on last years winner a lot..?

    Just the top 4, not top 5, then? :p

    And at least the Finnish OGAE didn't give 12 points to our beloved neighbour Sweden, like almost everybody else ;)

    back when i first heard Anna Bergandahl I though wow a possible winner especially with staging and the cute lights everyone got to wave as she sang. and then it totally bombed much to the utter shock of the singer.and many others, not even reaching the final. Similar style of song (but with a lot more energy and movment) as UNDO. Just might do the same. I preferred Anna's song.

    I don't mind seeing Emmelie a lot but I did laugh when I saw the latest headlines video. I thought to myself "what exactly is the headline here?!"

    Sweden beginning to look like a winner from the You Tube and other poll surveys. I think I maybe need to put a bet on her too! :(

    It's been very clear they've got rainmaker on the Eurovision album also. I don't have that much issue with it because I think Rainmaker is a huge improvement on Only Teardrops and Basim in general :D. But she has been promoting around Europe more than most acts this year.

    no they don't ... and they don't get added to this year's CD either like she has been. She must have some mighty juicy scandal on Jan Ola Sand to be getting this preferential treatment!

    Hmm, imo Anna Bergendahl's song was the most boring thing Sweden has ever sent, and I don't see any similarirties with that and Undo, they're totally different kind of songs...

    With regards to Rainmaker being on the album, to be fair that's because it's the official song of the contest this year. We Write the Story was on last year's album.
