It’s that time of year again, and after watching both semi-finals I’m excited about the Eurovision Song Contest final tonight!
In celebration, I’ve teamed up with Steve from Talk About Pop Music and Hugh from Hugh’s Views and News to offer my predictions for tonight. We’ve done our lists seperately and have awarded points in the manner used in the competition and after the results have been revealed we’ll get together and see who has got the most right. I’ve been torn between listing my favourites and the ones I think are actually going to do well, so I’ve created a mixture of both…
From the team of Suzie and The Bloke, here are our predictions and our votes for tonight…
1 point goes to… Monika Linkyte and Vaidas Baumila: This Time (Lithuania)
2 points go to… Il Volo: Grande Amore (Italy)
3 points go to… Aminata: Love Injected (Latvia) (i don’t actually like this song but tactical voting will mean it will do quite well I think)
4 points go to… Voltaj: All Over Again (Romania)
5 points go to… John Karayiannis: One Thing I Should Have Done (Cyprus)
6 points go to… Polina Gagarina: A Million Voices (Russia) (Note: this will depend on whether Europe still hates Russia or not)
7 points go… Nadav Guedj: Golden Boy (Israel)
8 points go to… Bojana Stamenov: Beauty Never Lies (Serbia)
10 points go to… Mans Zelmerlow: Heroes (Sweden)
And finally… DOUZE POINTS go to… Guy Sebastian: Tonight Again (Australia)

I agree with you Australia has the best song, but think Sweden will just win it, I think Italy will do well…sorry to see Georgia didn’t make your list (but only because I’m living in Georgia…”Warrior” not a brilliant song).
The song was a bit much for me I’m afraid! She had a great voice though!! Good luck tonight – you’ll certainly do better than us!
Good votes. No Serbia I see? Also, interesting that none of has included the UK…
Oh crap. Gonna change that – forgot about Serbia!!!
NO! All results are final lol
Too late haha!

Reblogged this on Steve Says… and commented:
Another set of results…
Thanks Steve!
I was going to ask if we could vote for the UK, but I didn’t have them in my top 10 anyway. Now the votes are in from the three most important juries, it’s anybodies guess what will happen next. I’m off out to go and stock up on some treats to eat and drink. Enjoy the contest, you two.
And you my lovely – I didn’t put ours in there because we can’t vote for them. Of course, I want us to win but I think that song is crap!!
I’m placing them somewhere between 13th and 20th!!
I’m just hoping we don’t get null points!!
I keep forgetting the UK are actually involved lol
Haha! Me too!
Thank you for sharing some of the top contestants. I’m surprised il Volvo didn’t get a higher rating. Actually, it’s the only group that I am familiar with and always enjoy their tv presentations. I’ll be waiting to hear the winner.
Are you thinking of il Divo? These guys are very similar… Thanks very much my lovely – hope you enjoy!
Yes, I was thinking of them. I have no idea how I can see any of these programs. Please let me know about the winner.
Ooh yes, love this and concur completely! I’ve finally heard the Guy Sebastien song and it’s great – a definite chance for the win! Yay, the countdown is on, my daughter and I have snacks lined up and will be pulling out the sofa bed for maximum comfort (though there’s still room for dancing).
I’m a bit obsessed with this song at the minute – I might just buy it from iTunes! Have a brilliant evening!
It’s really good! Hope you have a brilliant evening too 🙂
Thanks – I certainly will!

Australia is awake and ready to vote!
Thanks for the 12 points.
What a Guy hey?
Enjoy the evening 😊
Haha! And you!
I would put Italy higher but I am biased :)))
Haha! They did quite well – I think they won the jury vote overall!
They won the press one and the actual votes from people by a mile but lost the one that counted in the end 😉
I think the voting system needs to change
Me too…doubt it will but it should 🙂 They should combine people and the other. If not why allow people to vote?
Totally agree – it’s a way of making more money out of the phone votes I assume?
You are probably right
I’m starting to get excited now! Go the Aussie!
Wasn’t he brilliant! I bought the song from iTunes…
Great to hear! He did really well.
He reminded me a bit of Bruno Mars in his performance…
There was definitely a Neighbours theme going on with voting.
There always is, but there was far less this year than usual…
Thanks for posting these, Suzie! I’ll have to check them out to see what I like best, though I’m a couple days late. We don’t get these in the States but I’m excited to see them!
