    Really enjoy the podcasts. Looking forward to them every day. One thing I found strange in this one though. You said that because the Swedish public loved Anna Bergendahl, Loreen might do not so well. The Norwegian public loved Didrik and Stella, but that doesn’t seem to negatively influence Tooji’s chances.

    Norway finishing higher than Sweden in the semi? And qualifying at 5th? Ha. Hahahaha. HA HA HA.

    That was a great joke!

    It is quite extraordinary. You have basically been talking about the same bunch of songs for 10 days now but you still come up with different aspects and observation. One might expect the podcasts to have become rather tedious by now, but they are not. Kudos!

    Btw, I think that you really underrate BiH this year. I guess that juries in the west and north will prefer this classy little number to most other Balkan ballads. But then, what do I know? Semi 2 drives me nuts. It is the 1st time ever that I seem to have no clue.
