According to this betting website, Greece will win the contest. Ukraine will come second and Sweden (wohoo) will end up third.
Austria (sorry Lai) have the worst odds. They'll finnish last according to the betting company.

A magazine I read said the ones who had most chances of winning are Belgium, France, Malta, Sweden, Turkey and Ukraine. Greece was places 7-12 in the Final.
Ukraine's song was good, and so was Malta's... I didn't hear all the others. |

I wonder why German TV introduced them as the hardest competition for Germany. ![]() But, now that it has started, what did you think of the performance. Lin, remember the guy from Austria with the red/black tie who stood in the middle in the end? He's from Vorarlberg. And the guy who has written the song, too. Hehehe. ![]() Actually I liked the song. Quite greasy, though.

I feel sorry for those of you who won't be watching the british broadcast. Terry Wogan's commentary is the only good reason for watching Eurovision.

OH!!
![]() I thought Germany's was the best, followed by Serbia and Austria. BoP! It's not my fault! I'm not shortsighted, it wasn't in the same forum... that just makes me stoopid. Not my fault if I thought Eurovision was so important it rises above the humdrum of only entertainment. *flicks hair* ![]() ![]()

![]() Actually I never understood why the audience is voting for this or that. Never. But I like the woman from the Ukraine. Hehehe.

The contest over, Ukraine won and deserved it too IMO. Turkey's and Greece's high points surprised me much. Belgium's low (7) points not at all.
![]() ![]() My personal top 3 were Ukraine, Albania and Cyprus. One thing the contest is also good for is improving your sense of geography, you nearly know in an instance which countries are neighbours! ![]() ![]() ![]() EDIT: And thank you, Norway, for saving us from the last place. ![]()

Yay, Sweden ended up 5th. That means we qualify directly for the finals next year (which we always do - no petty semi finals for us
![]() I'm afraid Norway came last with only three points, all of which apparently came from Sweden ![]() I missed the contest so I'll watch the repeat transmission in 20 minutes. Won't be as fun though since I already know the results but I can still enjoy listening to the songs.
