And then there were two...

Kaliopi v Poli
Nick1990 v ESC Ross
107 v 90

Interestingly enough, both Kaliopi and Poli missed out on a place in the final on their first attempt, only to return with a hot fan fave.

The winner is...

I think My Number 1 is one of the ultimate results of the "How to win Eurovision" formula. Why the televoters didn't go for it in a big way still puzzles me.

Voice from the Gods, trousersuit from BHS. It was a valiant effort, but not quite enough to topple the People's Republic of Poli.

2nd Place Crno i belo (Kaliopi – ESC Ross) 90 points

Before we start here is the song that came on the radio which gave me inspiration forthis weeks contest.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ob7vObnFUJc

Numerous epic key changes.

Also I’m very surprised this hasn’t made this weeks playlist…….

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzvmkJH67Qc

Damn you Nick! I just knew it'd be you that'd got in there first! Congrats.

Great job 21CB, good contest that and worth doing again with so many that I thought would be there that weren't.

Yeah, would happily see another Comeback round.

I wonder how many rounds of this it would take for someone to brave Dima?

I was surprised nobody picked her for Comeback, either...

Are we over Cat Lady?!

Welcome to this weeks contest. We all love a classic Eurovision key change but just what is the most epic? Please try to remember we are not voting for the song but the key change. Votes to me in the usual way by Sunday 5pm.

Happy listening!!!

Playlist
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...RpOUC0dBRiU5t_

It was on my list but quite far down as I only entered it not that to long ago.


Not while I'm here we are not! I just wanted to try other songs *picks another Shlarger diva for comeback*

That playlist is a thing of beauty...

There's no Swedish song in the playlist? I'm honestly shocked.

I thought This is My life would be there at least

The second I saw Verka Serduchka I knew we were in for a fun playlist. I would have though 'In A Moment Like This' would be one of the first to go yet it's not on the list at all!


As much as I love the song I think I've listened to it more times than she's had botox.

Ok, maybe not that much.

Surprised that nobody sent Euroband!

I'm wetting myself just looking at that list, how have we never done this before?

Regarding Hero, I always think I'm over it, then I listen to it again and remember what a choon it is. One of those rare songs I love just as much now as I did at the time!

I'm The same. I've listened to it about 20 times Since posting it. Does anyone else try the hand/arm moves at the key change? I can't quite get it right

Yay! Thanks for the points everyone! And 21CB for hosting!

I thought I'd just try Poli as my first choice as knew it would be popular, so really chuffed I got her!

Nice result to come home to after a weekend of toddlers, my goodness they have lots of energy!

I think Lisa is away ahead of me on this years multivitamin!

Playlist looks ace, and not a single Swede there!!

You mean you haven't had it perfected since before she won Melfest?

All the time when I'm driving in the car! My ex used to do it with me too, we got some looks at traffic lights sometimes I'm sure!

Well Love Is A Crime was an obvious winner lol.

Some gems in the key change, I forgot to enter so I'll be rooting for our Verka to slay.

And Molitva to flop sorry it's always been one of my least favourite winners.

Feel free to vote if you want!!
