First of two semi-finals kicks off in about 10 minutes and I'm at bursting point with excitement.
For what it's worth I've had a good bet on Serbia at around 6-1 and have laid Armenia to finish out of the first four at just over evens. Serbia are straight through to the final without qualifying thanks to last year's win.
The results of the semis are supposed to be kept top secret but they usually have a way of leaking out, often on Greek TV for whatever reason. If I hear owt, I'll stick it up here (Finland and Serbia have both won the semi in recent times before going on to win the final).

cheers Chompy,

Never bet against the puppet  ;D

Andrew?

Sigh...Ireland's best attempt is resting on the feathers of a feckin turkey. 

Dustin the Singing Turkey for the win -- cmon Ireland

Good luck if you're investing in the turkey, it won't finish anywhere near imo. If some bookmakers offers Turkey (the country) to beat Turkey (the turkey) I'm all in

We've got a non caucasian bin man

half the countries hate us for the Iraq war still, some hate us from WW2, some from the Cold war, some for timmy mallett and some for Joe Pasquale

the balkans will hate the fact that he's non caucasian

we've got no hope, again..yet we get seeded in

Rich,

Are you saying that historically the voting is not str8 and that outside influences dictate where some countries allocate their points? :)

England are only seeded cos they are one of the biggest funders of the whole thing along with France, Germany and Spain

Nothing gets past you   rotflmfao

Andorra are in it this year. They rely for their income on Spain. Spain 12 points

Macedonia will vote for Bosnia, and Vice versa

Finland/Norway.

etc etc etc

who'll vote for us? you could put Eric Clapton up there on bass, with Jagger as a front man, McCartney on lead guitar and Mick Fleetwood on drums singing and they'd still stick two fingers up at the Brits

From BBC website

Semi-finalists have been divided into two groups based on their usual voting preferences in a bid to lessen the impact of "neighbourly" voting.

Traditional voting allies Greece and Cyprus have been split up, the former Yugoslav, Baltic and Scandinavian countries have been separated, while the UK will not be able to vote for Ireland.

Andy A can sing but he hasn't been given a song, it's just noise and stuff, completely forgetable. Of course his manager is/was Addy Bay, the well-known Gutshot noisy get.

Pity they split them all up, especially when they acknowledge it's happening.  May as well put us out of our misery in the semis by letting the vote fixing happen early days.  Saves the expected disappointment in the main event when all are back to the usual rubbish scoring.

ahhhh Laxie, a very early punting memory was betting on Jonnhy Logan at 6/1. Im slightly ashamed to admit that I used to tape the heats and also all the Stars in their eyes shows so I could watch them all again just before the final, what a sad sad man eh?

just another year, Phil, just another year

OK, first 2 were rubbish...NEXT!

lol. I remember having about £250 ew at 6/1 on Roy Orbison one year when I thought he was about a 2/1 chance and he got beat by some young whippersnapper, Marti Pellow I think it was. Sad that I can remmeber a bet from around 18 years ago but cant remember to feed the boy at the right times thru the day now  :o

Estonia was going great guns until the lads landed on stage and starting singing.  Cries of, 'Oh dear lord!!!' from the children in this house pretty much sums it up.  NEXT!

Dustin the Turkey has a real chance in this

what channel is this on plz?

cmon dudes.........

Teddy bear cruelty IMO -- BBC 3

cheers

 rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao  Can't - talk - tears - streaming.

Slobbervinia -- now at least she's good to look at

Go Figure  rotflmfao

On a shot a song --its working

As far as I can tell, they're the only real competition so far

Norway -- expedia.com -- holiday booked  ;kev;

Yer such a push over.

 ;applause; Norway

Dustin is terrible

Get it off

A real, cough...turkey.

 rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao

Only song to get boos so far...well done the lad.  lol

Thats just embarrasing Ireland........

That Andorran singer could do with a touch of conditioner on her hair.

And Brasso on her corset.

Bernard Mathews meets riverdance and The fat lady sang -- what more do you want  :dontask:

OMG its Janet & John

are you still watching the eurovision or have they crossed over onto some dodgy foreign channel now?

Got it in one -- lol

Debatable.  But Armenia's doable.

Although that Armenian one is cute

Does this song get boldie's vote -- is that him on the left ??

Aye up, Action Man is on in his White shorts

Has he got no legs or what..mabe just pished

Dustin for the win IMO -- pure class

He's russian of course he's pished

THat was sick man..

Pitch a tent, the Camps have arrived

For the current favourite, that Russian song was rubbish - bring back Tatu!

It's already started to drift on Betfair.

Move on nothing to see here boys..

Drifting is too small a word for Dustin -- but hey that greek woman is -- drfiting into my imagination

Thin, pretty, tiny dress...over-rated

 ;kev;

Blimey - he was at 12 before he started. He's now at 27.

More chance of seeing Boxing Day than winning.

Areas where Britain is clearly superior to Europe.

It's no good, the suspense is killing me, I have had to turn it over.

Faith my boy have faith -- how many countries want to have a piss up in Ireland next year -- think about it

Besides I now have odds with 10 to go through -- hmmmm

just tuned in in time for the recap.  I hope Israel go through - that is a very hot looking young man  ;kev;

1.53 (twos on) about Norway getting through is the bet of the night imo, all aboard

Four blondes -- all aboard

Duke, who is posting on your account this evening?

And why are you masquerading as an Estonian?

(http://img238.imageshack.us/img238/9550/thedukepu3.jpg)

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!  He said that himself on the MSN!!!   rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao

<sigh> -- caught out at last -- ok I admit to another life as a complete idiot  (no change there then)

Bainn singing for France on Saturday?

LOL spain -- bring back Dustin

Stuff the turkey...sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

the turkey is no more, heart-stopping stuff with them calling Norway last. Thanks for that Euro weirdos...

I seen Irelands entry when i was round at Duke's house.....that's all i have to say

I would have eric on lead guitar, not bass.

:o

I want a bet on this tonight but didnt see the semis, this is roughly how they bet the top 7:

Russia-11/4
Ukraine-7/2
Greece-8/1
Serbia-8/1

then:

sweden; Armenia and finland all between 10's & 16's

someone tip me up one of these pls(yes you do have to have heard the song) ::) before it kicks off.

ty in advance

preferably tighty, crap taste in music which for eurovision is a plus.

(dont worry, i wont hold anyone responsible, i'm just gonna guess otherwise)

LOL Git xx

When you get to my age you can listen to what your kids turn on and go "that's music?"


p.s Sweden each/way

and this is because russia and ukraine are too short at 3-1

p.s russia's is produced by timbaland.

p.ps ukraine's lady is a UN goodwill ambassador

p.p.p.s yes, fk my life

lol i didnt know that, pretty sick really, difficult to see one of these not winning.

Sweden for the value then, im on :)up

Ukraine may start as favourites - they've been the real steamer in the betting this week. A good Europop song sung by a pretty girl in a short dress. :)

Oppose Russia - they were made favourites because the singer is some big star in Russia and the track was produced by some big shot American producer, but it's actually not that interesting and should lose out on picking up most of the 12 points from the ex-Soviet voting bloc as the Ukraine's song is better and they're in the same group of countries.

Greece is also a bouncy pop song/bouncy singer in short dress combo, and is actually a better song than Ukraine's, but Greece aren't in as powerful a voting bloc. Should still feature very strongly.

Serbia have gone for a big powerful non-pop song, like the one that won them it last year. Oppose on the basis that host countries will not do well from now on in Eurovision - you'll only win by being part of a voting bloc and there do run undercurrents of 'let one of the other countries win' within blocs.

For a live outsider I tip Norway - I've got a bet on them finishing in the top 4 and winning it. Are a big price because the Swedish song is expected to do best out of the Scandies, but I think it's far better than the 60/1 it is on Betfair right now. Due to typing in an extra zero in my stake by accident I will collect over £1500 if Norway win. :)

O.k i've had a saver on Finland and backed norway E/W

go on the scandies!!!!!!!!! ;D

:goodpost:
its more like who has the most friends competition than a song contest, ive had a bet on greece  but i very rarely win so dont start thinking i am in the know if she wins,lol.

13/8 about the UK finishing last looks pretty huge after that performance ::)

moving to Albania

France's and Azer's may have been 2 of the worst things i've ever seen.

 ;applause;

Greece, thank you, that hit the spot.

Typing is so difficult whilst laughing hysterically.

NH Spain

rolf harris for the win.,.,,is this stars in their eyes?

i fancy the stage

Behave, it's getting bloody worse

bit lost for words really

Anyone speak spanish, i'd love to know what he's "rapping" ::)

WP Spain GFY.

FMP.

wtf is this shit.

I've got stitch

WD Spain. everyone who starts with old McDonald has a farm is good in my book.

Red button for translations.  Basically something along the lines of "Do the Chiki Chiki, dance the Robocop" from the bits I glimpsed.

kate winslet ftw

The line she's been singing for the last 30 seconds is "Don't break my ice - there is no water"

Truly deep stuff from Serbia

Serbia: after what we have been through, this is almost an oasis of culture, almost

It's all got a bit serious

We are told to expect River dance on ice on this one, now I am truely worried.

Russia's is so bad it's bound to win.  It has all the right bits of cheese for the Eurovision palette.

I'm still trying to figure out which song it rips off.

Never mind this i have just hit the nut flush in my tourny

amy winehouse ftw.,.,.,im getting fed up with the lookylikeys

WP etc

Now to finish with Noway. Very Curvy

produced by timberland, sounded like a few of he's tunes

one each here for you guys.

shes to fat to dance like that imho

wasnt that bad really andrew, she could hold a tune as well, def got chances

I'm sticking with Latvia - they own eurovision.

I think that's what it was reminding me of.  Felt very 'familiar' (apart from the ice skater with the mullet, naturally)

ok Bosnia FTW for me..Finland for the Mrs (she has no taste..in music nor men..obivously)

i want the stage all to myself.,.,

WHY ARE YOU ALL DOING THIS TO YOURSELVES?!!?!

dunno im up for the stage

Russia or Latvia will win I think.  Both crap but Eurotrashy.

Or Ukraine if everyone watched with the mute button on.

By rights we shouldn't finish anywhere near the bottom, considering how bad some of the others were.  But we will.

oh dear.  Matt appears to have fallen asleep.

We ran out of sheep.

Can I have both?

its the pirate song or nothing for me, its gotta win........

the Mrs loves this stuff...I don't mind listening to the music for an hour..the voting part is the part that annoys me.


BTW..Blonde German girl has a 5 o'clock armpit shadow...not good.

I reckon TK will take this down, if he stays awake long enough.

Forgot about Croatia's entry.  Grumpy old men FTW!

;smackedbottom;

boznia-herzgovinaria or whatever they are called,,, are so shite they couldnt even think of a good name for thier own country live brampton or something.,.,

125/1 on willhill  I was tempted to have a quid on but will be a waste of money as it's in Latvia's bag

School boy error, sheep count forward planning FTW!

leave it out, the voting parts the best bit of the night, its why everyone sits through the music

blinding to have a bet on and watch the results come in

Darren informs me he has had a little bet on Grease. I questioned his motive but he was adament it was her vocal talent. Bastard.

You'd have liked Finland's entry KP.  Chorus talks about sheep grazing!

this year was that shite there shouldnt be a winner.,.,.,but if i had to pick.,.,.,apart from the stage being the winner for looking like a foo foo.........in my eyes anyway.,.,.,.,.,old geezer for the win with the white hat on coz if he do win we wont have to listen to him for to long.,.,.,,.

So right.  This is prob first time in 10 years I've sat through the songs but I always watch the scores coming in.

Latvia and Spain for the RF/C

wow i missed spain i must of passed out due to excitment.... i'm getting some money on that

You meant Tikay

France, Azerbaijan and Spain was the worst thing, i mean like wtfffff.

Sweden, Ukraine or Russia FTW.

Bosnia 20-1 Latvia (Pirates) 45-1!!!!!...

dont forget mind we fook em and you lot eat them mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmint sauce and gravy .,.,think of me when you mop up the gravy lol.,,.,

Denmark is actually growing on me.

Oh thank Ma'am x


Greece FTW

I just want to punch that fella.

Try not to look.

Oh, I tried. If Latvia or Bosnia don't win it's a disgrace.

the first one ftw andre bocceli guy.

The 10 seconde  blast was great compared to the full version, but hey.. how often is that sentence true.

rotflmfao

i just woke my missus up to compare the stage,.,.,guess what she said.,..,.,,.,.,.,.,.,.










piss off you silly sod.,.,.,.,.,.,., you look like a seeyouentee

the more i hear the french one the more i'm loving it

 ;D

Them were the days.....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83dZCZhb0Vg&feature=related

I remember her singing it in about 15 languages after it won.  Think it's still got the record for the biggest winning margin.

ffs is this still on?

off to find the monkey porn thread to keep me awake for next hour!

FYP, I hope.

Perhaps it's me but the 'half-time show' is making me desperate to see the Spanish entry back on.

This reminds me of when I tried a pkg holiday and went on one of the excursion nights out.

just put £100 on the pirates to win...come on latvia

If I remeber correctly I went outside to stroke the donky until the coach arrived.

Did Snat lend his shoes to that fella in white that was in the interval band?

come on the scandies

ship me the win, one time!

LOLOLOL

Note to self: Try saying to Sophie, "I'm just popping out to stroke the donkey" and check reaction.

I Like the pirate's chests (Latvia?), Greece and Spain  ;ashamed;

Absolutley psmlol

25/1

LOL at the non-political voting, as usual.

Fk my life.

there ya go mate

http://www.bbc.co.uk/eurovision/participants/greece.shtml

I take it all back about you Kev.

:)up

there seemed to be a distinct lack of pvc this year :(

6.5/10

Lost marks by doing that stupid thing of having a motorbike in the video and just sitting on it, WTF's the point!?

Song repeats after 1.25, nver a good thing!

never noticed, had the sound off, each time :)

Also, she is SHIT at shaking her arse! Now down to 3/10!

I'm just listening to the Finland one now (missed the whole thing, thankfully, but was recommended this one for some reason...)

Who won?

not only that but Georgia, Ukraine, Latvia, Estonia and Azerbaijan..oh and Moldova, Finland and anything else adjoining Russia too have to vote for the mother country in case they turn the pipeline off in a fit of pique

if that doesn't happen its a balkan stich up

if not that a southern med stitch up

we need to urgently campaign to get Isle of Man, the Isle of Wight, Guernsey, Alderney, Jersey, Sark, The Isle of Sheppey, the Isle of Arran, the Shetlands, Orkneys and the Scilly Isles in next year.

Otherwise why bother?

I would love to see Sark's entry, I reckon he could do proper europop

I had a horse, but it was vioooooooolent
My thomas the tank engine got ripped
Walking home the other day
I slipped, my dogs were hoooowwwwllllliiiing
Oh prickly prickly cactus
Prick me Cactus do-ooooooooooooooh

Vegans for the win
Vegans for the w iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Prick me cactus do -oooooooooooooooooooh


Now, all I need is a good tune to fit these lyrics to
 

 ;applause; would've come 2nd to the Bosnians tonight

edit- in a proper, unbiased vote

Russia

Me too -  but how come she didn't win?

Cheers, can't believe I missed it.   

she did as far as I'm concerned, a rise in interest and a late spurt in voting.

I run so bad.

Back Ukraine and Greece to win - they come second and third.

Back Norway for top 4 - they come 5th.

Fk my life etc.

thought you got it spot on in your post, its about time they changed the voting system ,theres no point half of the countries turning up,no matter how good there song is

Terry Wogan is clearly 'ticked-off' with it after saying 'western europe will have to re-assess their participation as they have little chance of winning' (or words to that effect).

Why can't people just take it as the bit of fun it is - intended to bring the disparate nations of Europe closer together - and vote for the songs they like? Is it being orchestrated by the Kremlin?

It was amusing for a few years but the joke does eventually wear thin. It must cost several million to participate and fund, what has become an eastern european political rally.

Don't think the United Kingdom should have won - not by a long way - but I KNOW there were worse songs.

Reading the above back, I seem a bit serious - I'm really not that bothered! It's just being British (if you could imagine the strains of 'Land Of Hope & Glory' and the thwack of leather on willow here it would help), I like to see fair play...

Just tell everyone Brittain won't pay for it all anymore..that should ensure a win.

So true my 'also scored 14 points' brother.
