    I'm going to hold off and just watch it all on Saturday. I'm not expecting much anyway.

    Russia to have an internal selection. (esckaz)

    That leaves UK and Cyprus as broadcasters that have said nought.

    I think Cyprus will maybe go for Nikki Ponte- she's the obvious continuation of Ivi!

    Didn't Cyprus already say they'll send Despina Olympiou, though it's not been quite "officially" confirmed yet? :confused:
    E.g. wikipedia says she is the Cypriot representative: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Despina_Olympiou.


    Btw, anyone going to watch our 2nd chance show tonight? Didn't think so :D I probably will just watch the results, not that they matter much, as the winner surely won't be among them. I wish it was the Final already...!

    Won't watch Finland rather pointless :(

    Despina hasn't been officially confirmed and shouldn't be on the wiki at all. We have some on twitter that work for the broadcaster saying yes it's her others working there saying it isn't :D

    Well, that is confusing ;)

    Yeah, I agree it's rather pointless - I wish they had scheduled the Final for this weekend already!!

    Do they get a profit of phone calls in Finland? If so is that the reason:D

    Damn spoke to soon about rumours for us :mad::mad: We may have the singing, bicycling, cola advetising, duck for us :eek:

    Yes :D:D They really think a Grammy winner from less than 5 years ago would take part in Eurovision :D

    I'm sure they get plenty of profit, voting calls & texts being a whopping 1 Euro each :mad:
    Probably more expensive than anywhere else... :rolleyes:

    (Or then we just have to have a 2nd chance because Sweden does, too :p)

    A duck...? Who's that, a friend of Dustin the turkey...? :p

    I will so I can watch Elina again, even though I will also get to watch her inevitable failure to reach the final...

    She was rejected from a place on the judging panel of the Voice of Australia in favour of Ricky Martin.

    She has no place to be choosy!

    winner for Norway!!! So damn catchy! Can definately see this being a summer hit across Europe if it gets through for Norway and does well.

    Anyone else watching Finland? I really like the sound of 'Saturday Night Forever'. I'm a sucker for upbeat pop punk. :D

    EDIT: Clearly just me watching then. :D Elina sounding really good with 'He's Not My Man'.
