1. Greece (excellent live performer and a handy draw for the final)
2. Romania (Eastern votes will help and could nick it with a good performance)
3. Sweden
4. Bosnia Herzegovina (Eastern votes help this one and probably the best ballad)

Outsiders worth a shot

Croatia (28/1 Corals, Hills) Excellent draw fifth from last & Eastern votes could get this into the top 4 on the back of a good performance.

Probably mid table for the UK although it is our best entry since 1998.

GW,you are dong fine.All still standing. Maybe I should follow your selections!

Finlands in it!!! Finland is represented by a band called Lordi. A metal band! A real Slipknot-style band! I am DEFINITELY watching this. Its so bizarre whast this band does. If its the band I think it is...youve got to see it to believe it!

My 2 countries i.m.o vying for LAST spot are France & Lithuania. Go & back them people as they are now certs to be in the top two.

Yes I agree with you James about Finland. Funnily enough I accidentaly omitted them from my original list.Is that a sign? Weird the lot of them.

As for "We are the winners...of eurovision..& vote for us" Lithuania. Well, how on earth that song got to the final is anyones guess.

[jkmaskell]

Lordi will not win it, that can be guaranteed. But in terms of entertainment and general bizarreness, its worth the price of admission. Ive seen their music videos. I dont know if any of you have seen how they dress...it takes hours to dress them. I couldnt possibly explain how insane it looks. Finland are entering for the fun of it, thats for sure.

[Cookie]

Its only their dress code James,surely.They cant sing! If it wasnt for how they dress they surely wouldnt be of interest to anyone,apart from yourself of course or so it seems.

Then it’s time for the most talked-about entry in this year’s contest: Lordi, the hard rock monsters from Finland. Wearing platform shoes that must be 12 inches high, lead singer Lordi growls out ‘Hard Rock Hallelujah’ in front of a stunning display of pyrotechnics – this isn’t just a few sparks; we’re talking huge jets of fire. Huge bat wings unfurl from Lordi’s back and by the end the now-smoke-filled arena is stunned. Terrifying but brilliant.

"Quote" Re: Lithuania

Six middle-aged, serious-looking men from Lithuania stand on stage dressed in suits, looking like bank managers refusing a loan application. Then, as the song – half nursery rhyme, half football chant – begins, five of the men come to life and throw themselves into the performance, singing, shouting and, in one case, bellowing into a megaphone. “We are the winners of Eurovision!” they say. The sixth man stands motionless for two minutes before springing into action with a frantic dance that has to be seen to be believed. If this was the Eurovision Dance Contest, we’d have the winner right here.

[Gate Watcher]

I think it is now a straight call between Sweden and Bosnia to win Eurovision tomorrow night. Finland have a good chance of a top 4 spot.

40/1, that will do me!

[Gate Watcher]

Wasting your money there Cookie. Might just scrape the top 10 but not challenging the leaders in my opinion. Ireland is looking a good top 4 chance. Was 66/1 with Corals a few weeks ago which I mentioned and now with their excellent draw at 22/24 Ireland looks a decent outside bet. Think I favour Sweden more than any though but Bosnia could take it.

[Cookie]

Yes prices do vary with different bookies.So shop around. I can see 66/1 for mine elswhere now!

 

Other bets:

 

Where will the UK entry finish up? (skybet)

 

1-5 13/8

6-10 11/4

11-15 10/3

16-20 4/1

21-24 5/1

Oh you two are such spoilsports!

Are you feeling tired Tone? l.o.l.

I notice you & Steve wait for the other to say something first before following suit.

You've gone back to your negative ways Steve l.o.l.

Come on now its only a bit of fun to while away the time.

Still, glad you are both joining in with the gremlins anyway.

Roll on tomorrow night.
