Quote: espanyolswan "Think Poland are a cracking bet to progress from Thursday's Eurovision Semi Final. Very remenicant of Leona Lewis (I know thats a bad thing but this is Eurovision!!!!) Even the composer is from Moscow where the event is being held so that will get her brownie points.
Norway Greece and Azerbaijan are certs to qualify. The other 7 who do is totally open, Estonia who are next in the heat betting are pseudo classical goth rubbish, Lithuania are worse. Denmark should do ok as its pap written by Ronan Keating (should he not be writing Irelands???) Ireland seem to have revived Kenickie from somewhere without being half as good as they were (50/50 to get through probably depends how much Europe go for Avril Lavigne type angst). Slovenia seem to have confused Eurovision with Last Night Of The Proms, Hungary have some mid 80's electro pop monstrosoty and as for the Netherlands their performers and video are fantastically bad (think Redcoats at Butlins who've worked there for 30 odd years!!!). Serbia are fantastic until the scary singer starts, Cyprus and Albania have their versions of Hanna Montana who could do ok. The Latvia song is actually quite good but do not think it will qualify and Slovakia sleep inducing (think that covers everyone).
I think Poland will safely finish at least 6th or 7th in the heat and go through with ease.
2/1 with Bet365 at present but most bookies not priced up yet. So you may get bigger in the week.'"
Missed out Crioatia (boring folk rubbish) and Moldova even more folky but a much more fun effort which should go through.
