    I’m willing to bet any of you that Bosnia will qualify.

    And you’re basing Sweden’s chances on a press room poll? Pffff…

    I think some of you will look really silly come next Sunday…

    Being horribly wrong is always part of the fun of the Contest!

    Fair enough, I’m just stubborn when it comes to my opinions 😉

    I think you might be right about Norway – just watched the run through with the pyros. Looks very slick and it’s better than Eric Saade which came very close. Late draw and it could well do it.

    I’ve just put £20 on it at 25/1 on top of the £20 I already had on Romania at 25/1.

    Though I still want Loreen to win regardless.

    “Kuula” is amazing, I just don’t have confidence that the televoters will realise it.

    “Stay” doesn’t appeal to me personally, and I wasn’t at all convinced by the earlier release, but it’s shaping up as a serious contender.

    “Euphoria” makes a good first impression as required for votes, but I don’t think it sustains repeated listening very well, and “club hit” is pretty faint praise.
