Actually you only need to know the French for 8, 10 and 12 points, for several years now the point 1-7 are put straight up on the scoreboard and the spokesman for each country just announces the top three marks.crypto wrote:It's imperative to know at least to twelve for Eurovision.

Sorry but the UK doesn't stand a chance this year, it's a good song for the radio but there is no way it will win Eurovision. It is far too mediocre and will get lost in amongst some very strong songs this year. I predict last place for the UK....! My theory behind this is that of the 6 pre-qualified songs ours is the worst and the other 20 songs in the final will have qualified so have a better chance than the UK.hopeful traveller wrote:Odd this year. I seem to like everything everyone else doesn't, like Belgium, Moldova, Finland, Ireland, and the UK. Russia were favourite to win but after first rehearsals they're drifting like a barge and the UK are the big movers in the other direction. General consensus (Wiwibloggs etc) is that UK has the best staging of anybody.
The new system of adding the combined public vote for each country is a good idea, and may well count against Russia, given that lots of people hate Putin for his foreign policy. So while neighbouring juries may give 10 and 12, the public vote may swing it in favour of their nearest rival come the end.Soup Dragon wrote:Sorry but the UK doesn't stand a chance this year, it's a good song for the radio but there is no way it will win Eurovision.

What are you talking about in regards to Russia??? You are totally wrong about them drifting. They started at about 6-1, and once all the songs had been selected the odds came down to around 3-1, I placed a bet on them at 9-4 and if you look now 6-5 is about the best odds you will get. With a strong song this year Russia will pick up stacks of 8, 10 and 12 points from their neighbours which should be enough to see them home. The only doubt I have is with the new scoring system, I think Russia will win the public vote but I'm not sure how the juries will score them.
France will be on the left hand side I think, quite how far up I don't know. I certainly don't think France will be last.tubeguru wrote:The new system of adding the combined public vote for each country is a good idea, and may well count against Russia, given that lots of people hate Putin for his foreign policy.

As for us, I don't think we'll come dead last. That honour is reserved for France, I feel.
The outcome of the EU Referendum will have no bearing on our continued entry to Eurovision. As long as the BBC are members of the EBU they can continue to enter or not enter as the case may be.michael_churchill wrote:Question: Do we / the UK / the BBC have an obligation to enter the Eurovision Song Contest every year? If not, why do we bother?
If we vote for Brexit next month, can we stop???
