I still want Kerri Watt. This co-write from our very own 2014 Molly isn't the best, but still... <3

I'm liking the Bulgarian attitude. Good for them.

Barbara Dex award voting now open - front page of the website says that it's the last year for the award and for the website?!?!

http://www.eurovisionhouse.nl/bdaward2.php
More information on this page. Hopefully someone else can take it on, preferably not Wiwibloggs. No offence to them, but their polls are always dodgy and they'd probably re-brand it the Fash Ho Award to fit in with the 'Eurovision's Next Top Model' search poll.

It's so odd how Wiwibloggs is arguably the most popular website, yet hardly anyone seems to enjoy it.

They are very good at making content that's easy to digest and react to, and they've very good at promoting themselves. Doesn't mean that we have to like it though

First Diggiloo and now this

Probably ESCToday would be a good fit being one of the oldest fan news websites.

Seeing them in the Eurovision Taxi on Tuesday made me go on a Justin Toiletbreak ...

It's only William that gets on my wick. I don't have anything against the others or the content, although I could easily do without the 'let's pretend rumours are fact' gossip articles.

First Poli, now 'It's Me, Jamala' has stormed to the top of the Lao People's Republic iTunes chart too!

They've definitely got the younger fan market covered. I really like them though, they obviously put in a ton of effort every year and all the artists seem to love them so they've earned their success to me!

Their post-final analysis video was great, they were all really insightful and positive about the future of the contest (although there was a video of them backstage during the vote reveal, whereupon William started SCREAMING when Jamala won! )

The irony if Deban's reaction had caused Petra to crash the car.... Don't grab the driver!!

Surprised no one has added a score grid to wiki yet. I want to see where the televotes went and came from easily

I've been listening to that song on repeat all day. It's surprisingly addictive.

Kind of says it all that probably the highlight of my week was seeing all the WiWi team night after night in euroclub rather than the acts themselves
Denise and William were super lovely though but it must have been a nice ego boost to be treated like celebrities from me when no one else was bothering them....."oh my God, I love ye guys!" *cringe*

Thank you to everyone who's been voting over the past few days. Hope you have enjoyed the results
Great result! But somehow my votes weren't added on... I definitely submitted them.

No member of the jury ranked France in last place - the only song to have that accolade.

(If we ignore the wrong Denmark votes then Australia can say the same!)

Good shout Foxi - either of Kerri's recent DSFE entries would've sounded good on the big stage.

Saw this posted elsewhere- What the televote scores would be if points 1-26 were used instead of 1-12.



1-Russia-989 (=)
2-Ukraine-956 (=)
3-Poland-843 (=)
4-Australia-837 (=)
5-Bulgaria-821 (=)
6-Sweden-755 (=)
7-Austria-748 (+1)
8-France-737 (+1)
9-Armenia-688 (-2)
10-Hungary-618 (+4)
11-Cyprus-615 (+4)
12-Lithuania-615 (-2)
13-Latvia-578 (=)
14-Belgium-549 (+2)
15 Italy-545 (+3)
16-Spain-498 (+8)
17-Netherlands- 487 (=)
18-Azerbaijan-451 (-6)
19-Israel-389 (+3)
20-Georgia-369 (=)
21-Serbia-365 (-10)
22-Germany-309 (+1)
23-United Kingdom-292 (+2)
24-Malta-279 (-3)
25-Croatia-253 (-6)
26-Czech Republic-156 (=)


Serbia, Croatia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Lithuania and Malta all fall.

Spain, Italy, UK, Germany, Hungary, Cyprus, Belgium, France and Austria all climb.

Seems Poland was actually popular everywhere...

Great work porchy. If only that result could've been real. Looking forward to 2017 and having your namesake back in the mix!
Finally after 59 years on this forum I get an abbreviated nickname!

And this is the time that I think of a better comedy name....

Go for it BB Gran

Brilliant work chaps (especially you lovely portugal, but that backdrop ), that would have been an amazing result


How do we think the rejected entries from our NF would have fared? I think the only one that stood any chance of improving on You're Not Alone's results was Until Tomorrow.
Gonna put it out here. Thought the standard of songs was pretty poor...J&J the only decent offering.

No dissing of potential ginger pubeage

Great result! But somehow my votes weren't added on... I definitely submitted them.
I have no control once the link is posted. Sorry Mikay.

Not sure if this has been posted - Stig Rasta's reaction to Estonia's placing

https://www.instagram.com/p/BFbvoSukmfW/?hl=en

Thank you for the 24 points and i think it is possible to thank every one personally coz there were so few of you.


That's fantastic

This would do really well at Eurovision https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n-wtJyh2Co4

In fact, I think I entered it in a Fantasy Round! It would probably have got an Anouk style result.
I like this and that is her daughter in the video

I really enjoy most of their stuff. They are funny most of the time. I love Deben to bits. Seems such a chilled guy and gets good interviews. Couple of them are annoying like that one with weird codfish eyes whose name escapes me , beaten with an ugly stick anyway.

Only other blog i find interesting is Eurovision Ireland, especially Garratt All the rest seem a bit dry and too PC for me.
